Composition Science Repository Governance Specification


title: Composition Science Repository Governance Specification id: GOV-002 document_type: governance project: Composition Science version: 1.0 status: draft date: 2026-07-21

Mission

Maintain a reproducible, evidence-based repository that multiple autonomous agents can safely extend.

Workflow

Research Session → Scientific Journal → Research Execution Package (REP) → Repository Updates → Knowledge Graph Updates → Published Outputs

No permanent change bypasses an REP.

Artifact Lifecycle

Draft → Working → Review → Approved → Archived

Stable IDs

GOV, RP, JR, GN, ONT, LAW, HY, EV, EX, MET, CASE

Theory Promotion

Hypothesis → Candidate Law → Engineering Principle → Theory

Promotion requires independent evidence, falsification attempts, limitations, and theory impact analysis.

Required REP Updates

  • Theory Registry
  • Evidence Registry
  • Knowledge Graph
  • Genome
  • Ontology

Conflict Resolution

Preserve conflicting evidence until resolved.

Agent Rules

Read the Constitution. Use ontology IDs. Update graph relationships. Never overwrite history. Never hide uncertainty.

Repository Health

  • Traceable evidence
  • Stable IDs
  • No orphan concepts
  • Reproducible reasoning
