ONE PATRON / HERALD I MACHINE READER NOTE ENTRY: ./manifest.json CANONICAL OBJECT: ./object.json TOPOLOGY: ./topology.json DYNAMICS: ./dynamics.json OPERATORS: ./operators.json SCHEMA: ./schema.json PROJECTION CONTRACT: ./projection-contract.json FORMAL CONSTRUCTION The pre-event complex is a 21-edge oriented cycle partitioned into three seven-edge families. ORDER_TRANSITION_22 attaches one 2-cell along the entire cycle. It does not add a twenty-second edge. Over Q, beta_1 changes from 1 to 0. The two agents use local spaces of dimensions 3 and 2. Distinct restriction maps send their states into a two-dimensional relation stalk. Compatibility is equality in the relation stalk within the declared tolerance; local identity is not required. G0 initiation leaves three recipient continuations available. Closure occurs only when the recipient independently selects the compatible continuation and the compatibility predicate holds. The recipient action has no assigned probability. Conditional on the resulting valid event, closure is deterministic. S01 through S29 are representable. L30 is a limit event and is not S30. Selected positive-description operators are intentionally outside their domain at L30 and return the typed statuses declared in operators.json. COMPUTED PROPERTIES The validator derives cell-complex ranks, branching cardinalities, restriction map dimensions, transport invariance, phase-lock convergence, perturbation recovery, recurrence, and a modal resonance comparison from the data files. SCIENTIFIC STATUS The files define a formal construction and computed properties of that construction. They do not assert a physical theory, a biological or conscious state, or a supernatural result. IDENTITY The published SHA-256 identifies exact bytes. Structural equivalence beyond byte identity is assessed by the invariant fingerprint plus an explicit map. A complete graph-isomorphism canonicalizer is not claimed. SIGNATURE STATUS HASHED; UNSIGNED.
