Summary

Doctrinal realignment following the 2026-04-22 canonical consolidation audit.

Two structural problems fixed:

  1. Thermodynamic status was contradictory. The README said "any thermodynamic or physical interpretation is external, optional, and non-required," and ARCHITECTURE_BOUNDARIES.md listed "Thermodynamics" and "Physics" under Explicitly Excludes. The canonical position is now that SYF-Core is thermodynamic in principle, not metaphorically.
  2. Lineage was incomplete. The old boundary doc treated Gate and Shield as bundled inside Anathema-Breaker, and did not mention SLIME-Core at all. The corrected lineage is:
SYF-Core  ->  SYF-Gate  ->  SYF-Shield  ->  Anathema-Breaker  ->  SLIME-Core
  theory      admission     capacity        resolution core      membrane

Changes

  • README.md
    • Replace "mathematical law of coherence / thermodynamic interpretation is external" with explicit upstream thermodynamic theory framing.
    • Add Thermodynamic status section (canonical, not optional).
    • Add Position in the ecosystem section with Gate / Shield / AB / SLIME-Core.
  • ARCHITECTURE_BOUNDARIES.md
    • Full rewrite. Gate and Shield are now independent upstream primitives (sections 2 and 3), not bundled "inside AB".
    • AB is section 4 — sealed synthesis of Gate + Shield.
    • SLIME-Core added as section 5 — canonical execution membrane derived from AB.
    • Thermodynamic status (section 6) replaces the old "Thermodynamics = external reading" clause.
    • "No downstream contamination" (section 7) and "Single authority across layers" (section 8) encoded.

Not changed

  • Genesis bundle (docs/genesis/) untouched.
  • No code, no invariants, no sealed spec content modified.
  • Documentation-only patch.

Test plan

  • Verify companion PRs land with same lineage wording (AB, Gate, Shield, SLIME-Core)
  • Confirm SYFbot knowledge pack is regenerated from the new canon
  • Final doctrinal review

…consolidation

SYF-Core now explicitly assumes its thermodynamic grounding instead of presenting
it as an external/optional interpretation. The formula R = (F x E) / K is stated
as the canonical thermodynamic expression of the upstream law.

Canonical chronology enforced across the ecosystem:
  SYF-Core -> SYF-Gate -> SYF-Shield -> Anathema-Breaker -> SLIME-Core

Changes:
- README.md: replace "mathematical law of coherence / thermodynamic
  interpretation is external" framing with explicit upstream thermodynamic
  theory. Add "Thermodynamic status" and "Position in the ecosystem" sections.
- ARCHITECTURE_BOUNDARIES.md: full rewrite to (1) assume thermodynamic canon,
  (2) restate Gate and Shield as independent upstream primitives instead of
  "inside AB", (3) introduce AB as the sealed Gate+Shield synthesis, (4) add
  SLIME-Core as the downstream canonical execution membrane, (5) enforce
  single authority per layer, (6) add "No downstream contamination" clause.

No code, no invariants, no sealed spec content modified. Documentation-only patch.
