tegwick dae2cdd3e7 Adopt staged WORK-RECORDS generation and catch the index up. 
The generated index had drifted from the workplan files. The opt-in lets
the pre-commit hook rebuild WORK-RECORDS.md in the same commit as the
workplan it indexes.

SCOPE

This file was generated by statehub register. Refine it as the repository boundaries become clearer.

One-liner

Research program (Generative Assembly Society) exploring the societal contract and macroeconomics of technologically abundant, post-work economies through the lenses of assembly and information organisms; philosophical and economic basis for coulomb.social.

Core Idea

If productive capacity becomes abundant, the binding constraints shift from capital and labor to agency, access, attention, trust, ecology and the ability to form valuable new combinations. The program studies which institutional configurations maximize sustainable, broadly accessible viable future assembly space. It works through two lenses: a society lens (assembly, generativity, GADM) and an information-organism lens (AIPN, membrane, seed kernel, evolution, metabolism, resource ontology). See INTENT.md.

In Scope

  • Exploratory concept documents (concepts/) and formal/dynamic models (models/)
  • The Generative Assembly Dynamics Model (GADM) and its successors, scenarios, metrics and simulations
  • The research workstreams WS-01 to WS-14 in INTENT.md, including post-work participation, resource ontology and attention
  • Membrane and governance models for embedding information organisms in institutions
  • Comparison with economics, systems theory, complexity science and Assembly Theory

Out of Scope

  • A totalizing ideology or a single prescribed allocation mechanism (see INTENT.md, Explicit Non-Goals)
  • Production implementations, storage, protocols, API formats
  • Marketplace product features (belong in coulomb-social)
  • Pricing mechanics (belong in adaptive-pricing)

Current State

  • Status: conceptual / exploration phase. No code or simulations yet.
  • Ratified INTENT.md; concepts: Generative Assembly Society v0.1, AIPN v0.1, shared glossary; models: GADM-0.1 and a mapping note for information organisms in GADM.
  • history/ and seed/ hold the unchanged originals.

Generated work-record index

This repository opts into staged-source WORK-RECORDS.md generation through .generated-work-records.json and the isolated .generated-work-records.mk recipe. make generated-work-records reuses the State Hub renderer through the Custodian adapter; make generated-work-records-check verifies byte-exact agreement with staged Markdown. The pre-commit hook uses the isolated recipe, preserves unstaged index edits by refusing them, and retains the generated-only commit guard. It does not contact the hub, alter workplan statuses, or grant deployment authority. This consumes shared tooling; it does not make this repository the provider of the generator capability.
