Canonical Governance & Charter Repository

TRIZEL — Technology for Research, Inference, Zonal Evaluation & Learning

---

1. Purpose

trizel-core is the canonical governance and charter repository of the TRIZEL scientific platform.

It defines the epistemic constitution of TRIZEL:
the rules, boundaries, and structural principles that govern how scientific work is organized, separated, evaluated, and presented across the entire TRIZEL ecosystem.

This repository contains no data, no analysis, no models, and no executable logic.

---

2. What TRIZEL Is

TRIZEL is an institutional-grade scientific governance system designed to:

• Enforce strict separation between observation, analysis, inference, interpretation, and evaluation
• Coordinate multiple repositories under a single epistemic framework
• Provide a neutral, auditable, and non-executive interface for scientific research
• Allow canonical, alternative, and exploratory research to coexist without epistemic conflation

TRIZEL is not a personal repository and not a theory publication platform.
It is the epistemic controller of the research environment.

---

3. Epistemic Pipeline (Constitutional)

All repositories governed by TRIZEL must map explicitly to the following epistemic pipeline:

Observation ↓ Analysis ↓ Inference ↓ Interpretation ↓ Probabilistic Evaluation ↓ Open Publication & Visualization

This pipeline is mandatory and non-optional.

• No repository may collapse layers
• No repository may bypass layers
• No repository may mix epistemic roles

---

4. Role of trizel-core

trizel-core is responsible for:

• Defining epistemic layers and their boundaries
• Defining repository roles and naming discipline
• Defining visualization and non-interpretation standards
• Defining canonical vs non-canonical status
• Acting as the root authority for governance decisions

trizel-core does not:

• Implement scientific theories
• Host datasets
• Perform analysis or inference
• Publish scientific claims

---

5. Repository Taxonomy (Normative)

Repositories under TRIZEL must fall into one and only one category:

Governance & Charter

• trizel-core
• Governance policies, standards, and definitions

Visualization & Interface

• trizel-visual
• Public-facing, non-executive scientific visualization

Data & Observation

• trizel-data-*
• Raw data and metadata only

Analysis & Inference

• trizel-analysis-*
• Reproducible, model-agnostic analysis

Exploratory / Non-Canonical Research

• trizel-x-*
• Hypothesis-driven, explicitly non-canonical

Archive / Historical

• trizel-archive
• Legacy, philosophical, or superseded material

Mixed-role repositories are not permitted.

---

6. Canonical vs Non-Canonical

• Canonical repositories define rules, structure, and governance
• Non-canonical repositories may explore interpretations, models, or speculative ideas

Canonical status does not imply correctness.
It implies structural authority only.

---

7. Relationship to the Website

The TRIZEL website is a mirror of this governance model.

• The website does not publish interpretations
• It publishes:
  • Methodology
  • Status
  • Provenance
  • Immutable evidence pointers (e.g., DOI)

TRIZEL is not linked to the site.
TRIZEL is the site’s epistemic backbone.

---

8. Immutability & Versioning

Governance documents in this repository are intended to be:

• Public
• Versioned
• Auditable
• Citable

Changes must be explicit, reviewed, and historically traceable.

---

9. Non-Scope (Explicit)

This repository will never contain:

• Scientific datasets
• Algorithms or executable code
• Analytical results
• Performance metrics
• Interpretive claims
• Automated workflows

---

10. Status

Canonical • Governance • Non-Executable

This repository defines how science is structured,
not what science concludes.
