# Concept Archive

This page is the wiki attic for Research Stack concepts: canonical, active,
candidate, speculative, held, lossy, retired, and abandoned. Inclusion here is
not promotion. It means the concept has appeared in the repo and should remain
findable with an honest status.

## Status Legend

| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| **CANONICAL** | Defined by the main glossary, vocabulary lock, Lean surface, or roadmap. |
| **ACTIVE** | Used in current code/docs, but not necessarily fully proven. |
| **CANDIDATE** | Useful concept with a repo surface; needs stronger evidence before promotion. |
| **SPECULATIVE** | Research scratchpad or analogy; do not cite as established fact. |
| **HELD** | Preserved because it may be useful, but blocked by tests, proof gaps, or failed quantitative checks. |
| **LOSSY** | Useful experiment that cannot round-trip or preserve the needed invariant. |
| **EXTERNAL_REFERENCE** | Outside work kept as a citation/search anchor; do not treat as imported repo code or an internal claim. |
| **RETIRED_ALIAS** | Old evocative name retained for search; use the neutral technical term in formal docs. |
| **ABANDONED** | Preserved for provenance; not a current design direction. |

## Module Surface Census

The local wiki already contains a large generated/connector module surface:

- `6-Documentation/wiki/Obsidian-connector/Manifold/Modules/`
- Current count at archive creation: **631 module notes**

This directory is the broadest mechanical concept inventory. The tables above
are the human-facing archive. The module directory is the exhaustive surface for
module names such as `AMMR`, `AngrySphinx`, `BraidField`, `CacheSieve`,
`DynamicCanal`, `Genome18`, `Hardware_AdaptiveFabric`, `MOIMMetaprobe`,
`MassNumberAdapter`, `MorphicDSP`, `PIST`, `RGFlow`, `S3C`, `SLUQ`,
`SemanticRGFlow`, `TorsionalPIST`, `Waveprobe`, and hundreds of extension
surfaces.

## Search Engine Target

The future internal search engine must be semantic-driven, not only
keyword-driven. It should connect weird names, neutral technical names, code
symbols, theorem surfaces, abandoned aliases, and evidence receipts into one
retrievable concept graph.

Minimum target layers:

1. Literal index: exact symbols, paths, functions, theorem names, issue IDs.
2. Semantic concept index: aliases, weird names, neutral names, status labels,
   concept clusters, and gestalt/eigenvector-like bundles.
3. Evidence/routing layer: reversible vs lossy, canonical vs speculative,
   benchmark vs theory, proof vs scratchpad, Hutter-claim-safe vs
   discovery-only.
4. Inspectable graph layer: concept nodes, alias nodes, file/module nodes,
   theorem/function nodes, benchmark receipt nodes, Linear issue nodes, status
   nodes, and evidence-type nodes.

Ranking should use semantic mass: prefer hits connected to downstream concepts,
active/canonical status, executable evidence, and the current route. A
MassNumber-style gate should mark whether a result is admissible for the task
or only useful for discovery.

Graph edges should be typed, not just "related":

- `defines`
- `aliases`
- `imports`
- `cites`
- `derives`
- `gates`
- `blocks`
- `promotes`
- `demotes`
- `benchmarks`
- `round-trips`
- `fails`
- `quarantines`
- `related-to`

Every search result should be able to explain itself as a path, for example:

```text
Variable Omega Field -> torsional clock -> compression timing -> Hutter discovery-only
SemanticMass -> meaning-bearing load -> MassNumber -> admissibility receipt
Braid Rope Fusion Shifter -> benchmark receipt -> reversible? -> Hutter claim gate
HELLO Transform -> harmonic-node alignment -> language lattice -> O(n) search sketch
```

Minimum graph queries:

```text
neighbors SemanticMass
path SemanticMass MassNumber
why hutter braid rope
```

Graph export should stay local and inspectable first: GraphML, JSONL edges, or
a SQLite edge table. A visual UI can come later.

Linear target: `RES-2377`.

### Eigenvector Literature Anchors

The "concept bundle as eigenvector" target should be framed as an extension of
existing eigenvector traditions, not as an isolated invention. Immediate anchor
families to preserve in the search index:

| Anchor | Use in Research Stack |
|---|---|
| Bonacich, 2007, *Some unique properties of eigenvector centrality* | Centrality and prestige-weighted concept importance in the internal graph. |
| Langville, 2005, *A Survey of Eigenvector Methods for Web Information Retrieval* | Search ranking precedent for graph-native retrieval. |
| Nelson, 1976, *Simplified calculation of eigenvector derivatives*; Lim, 1987, *Re-examination of eigenvector derivatives* | Sensitivity of concept eigenvectors when evidence or edges change. |
| Shapiro, 1992, *Feature-based correspondence: an eigenvector approach* | Matching concepts across files, aliases, and modalities by feature structure. |
| Saaty, 1998/2001, analytic hierarchy process eigenvector ranking | Decision/prioritization surface for promotion gates and route choices. |
| Xiang, 2008, *Spectral clustering with eigenvector selection* | Selecting stable concept clusters without swallowing every adjacent term. |
| Gauch, 1982, *Noise Reduction By Eigenvector Ordinations* | Reducing noise in weird/scratchpad concepts before promotion. |
| Allez, 2012, *Eigenvector dynamics* | Dynamics of changing semantic fields over time. |
| Duguet, 2023, *Eigenvector Continuation and Projection-Based Emulators* | Continuation/emulator framing for moving between local concept regimes. |
| Ipsen, 1997, *Computing an Eigenvector with Inverse Iteration* | Practical computation path for local graph ranking. |
| Diniz-Filho, 1998, phylogenetic inertia eigenvector method | Inertia/history model for inherited concept structure. |
| Knowles, 2013, Wigner matrix eigenvector distribution | Random-matrix caution surface for noise, false structure, and null models. |
| Krahulik, 2026, Harmonic Shape Transform (HST) repository | Shape-domain analogue: a Laplace eigenfunction acts as a normalized intrinsic coordinate or "harmonic note" for correspondence. Treat as external reference, not internal proof. |

Working interpretation:

```text
gestalt / concept bundle
  -> principal semantic direction over a typed evidence graph
  -> weighted by semantic mass and admissibility receipts
  -> exposed as a searchable, explainable path

HST shape note
  -> Laplace eigenfunction as intrinsic coordinate
  -> equal-level mapping between shapes
  -> analogy target for semantic-prime/eigenvector route maps

HELLO Transform
  -> "hello" as notation joke: H, E, L x L, O(n)
  -> candidate operator sketch, not theorem
  -> E(H equiv N) + (L x L) -> O(n)
  -> harmonic/eigen node alignment makes language-lattice matching route-based
```

## Promotion Rule

Before a concept moves out of this archive into canonical docs, require:

1. A neutral technical name.
2. A declared invariant, gate, or receipt.
3. A source surface: Lean module, script, spec, model note, or audit artifact.
4. A status change recorded in docs, not just in conversation.
