Full Operational Manual
The complete operational handbook. Every page in this section describes how to apply the framework — step by step, in order, with no steps skipped. The four-step procedure is what holds the framework to empiricism regardless of language, implementation, or domain.
Read the manuals in order for a complete treatment. Every manual carries status tags on its values, and every derivation returns to measured values in classical language.
The four-step lock
Every application runs through the same four steps. Inverting them, skipping one, or applying them out of order produces a result that is not a framework result.
| Step | Action | What happens | Tag |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pure geometric initialization | Establish the dimensionless invariants: apex angle θ = 70.5288°, viewer cone S₊ = 1/3, inverse cone S₋ = 2/3, boundary ratio 2.000000. No empirical content enters. | Derived |
| 2 | Empirical boundary pinning | Anchor the geometry to measured baselines. Declare the observer's aperture, the instrument's epoch, the source archive. | Frame-Conditioned |
| 3 | Thermodynamic aperture coupling | Apply the calibration that maps the declared frame onto the geometric engine. Landauer floor, Planck ceiling, Bekenstein–Hawking capacity enter here. | Fitted |
| 4 | Operational mode selection | Choose the reading. Mode A projects across frames. Mode B mines the conserved complement. Both modes return to measured values. | Derived · Fitted |

Recommended reading order
The manuals build on each other. For a first pass, read 00 → 03 → 05. For a complete treatment, read all eight in order. For AI integration work, 06 and 07 are the operational pair.
Manual 06 (AI system prompt) is the machine-readable form of the framework's operational discipline — the locked sequence, the three guardrails, and the status tag taxonomy, written for LLMs and automated reasoning pipelines. Manual 07 (tool suite) documents the computational primitives the framework ships with.
