# Concepts

Exploratory concept documents for `assembly-economics`. Each document is
promoted from exploration material in `history/` or `seed/` and then evolves on
its own. These are working concepts, not an established body of knowledge. The
history files stay unchanged as the record of origin.

## Documents

| Document | Status | Source in `history/20261011-InitialExploration.md` |

## Conventions

- Every document opens with a provenance comment that names its source lines
  and the task that created it.
- Promotion is verbatim first. Consolidation and edits happen in later commits,
  so the diff shows every change against the original.
- Version is stated in the document header (`v0.1`, `v0.2`, …). Bump it on
  substantive changes, not on wording fixes.
- Implementation-specific material (storage, protocols, APIs) stays out of
  concept documents, as AdaptiveInformationProcessingNetworkConcept.md § 52 requires.
- Do not call these documents "canon". That term is reserved for an
  established body of knowledge.
