tegwick 087cea6239 Implement M0: research facility skeleton (CR-WP-0002)

Add docs/ResearchArtifactConvention.md defining program/paper/paper-local
identifier namespaces, file layout, publication metadata, and provenance
conventions. Register RP-000 (Researching Research) with CR-000 (Paper
Zero) as an honest draft skeleton: outline manuscript with explicit
[MISSING]/[CONJECTURE] markers, five conjectural claims transcribed from
the M2 example list, and empty evidence/criticism files. Add the
facility-level paper registry and a small validation script covering
registry parsing, id uniqueness, publication-metadata agreement, and
Markdown link integrity.

Close CR-WP-0002 and hand off M1 (Paper Zero v0.1 manuscript) as
CR-WP-0003, per the workplan's residual-handoff requirement.

Raw Blame History

Scope

Coulomb Research is a self-improving network for explanatory progress by human and artificial researchers. INTENT.md defines its mission and principles.

Current State

This repository contains the intent, design seed, initial exploration history, and State Hub work records. No research facility implementation, paper registry, application, automated research agent, or deployment exists yet.

In Scope

RP-000, Researching Research: use Coulomb itself as an initial experiment.
Versioned research artifacts with attributable claims, evidence, criticism, revisions, and publication state.
A minimal facility skeleton for Paper Zero, CR-000, followed by the milestone plan in seed/CoulombResearchMilestonePlan.md.
Research into scientific interoperability, human–AI collaboration, signals, and charts; these designs are hypotheses to test through actual research.
Repository documentation, conventions, validation, and State Hub integration.

Boundaries

Build only infrastructure demanded by real research artifacts. M0 excludes forum software, tokens, NFTs, a DAO, a preprint server, an academic social network, journal workflows, and a generalized funding platform. The seed kernel is a proposed model, not an implemented graph service.

Papers begin in P1 for internal circulation. External preprint or venue submission is a later milestone. Registering implementation work does not establish scientific validity or publication readiness.

Next Work

M0 is implemented (workplans/CR-WP-0002-research-facility-skeleton.md, finished): the artifact convention, RP-000/CR-000 skeleton, and paper registry exist. workplans/CR-WP-0003-paper-zero-v0-1-manuscript.md owns M1 (bringing CR-000 to a coherent v0.1 manuscript). The bootstrap workplan is workplans/CR-WP-0001-statehub-bootstrap.md.
