D4: Forming: the tree
Build the taxonomy from similarities in case adaptations.
This is a reading key. The linked contract and card hold the rules.
Reading order
- Contract, method, standing instructions.
- Your recorded platform: Claude or Codex.
- Full D4 card, then the run's head, diary and handler deliveries as that card prescribes.
Inputs and permitted reading
Use the full card's startup packet and reading boundaries. Do not use files from later stages merely because this repository contains them. Historical interviews use the files in their selected bundle.
Outputs, quoted from the card
_views/adaptation-tree.{html,svg,json};
branches.jsonl; forms/<id>.md (generated
from the accepted definitions); crosslinks.jsonl;
tier_history.jsonl per cut; tree-D4.md (the
statistic, the views, what you drew and did not, the accounting of §4);
chunk-share-D4.md, chunk-share-D4.jsonl and
chunk-share-D4.py (the comparison, by script);
projections-D4.jsonl (the verdicts and the canvas per
branch and per cluster, by tools/projections.py);
notes-D4.md.
Legs
D4a: cut. Repeats: yes. Interview point: end.
Checks and handback
The stage card governs its checks. The handler and leg controller govern opening, close, pause and recovery. Do not infer permission to start from this page. Keep notes and the head current; the conversation and filesystem must match at any resumable close.
