Evolution Log
The historical record of the Meridian Codex, tracking the evolution of the intellectual framework.
The Foundation Onramp Complete
Steelmanning and The Update Protocol deep-dives published, completing the Foundation Onramp tier. All five entry-level tools now have full six-element pages: definition, distortion, origin, core practice, integration, and intellectual lineage. The Toolkit is no longer a skeleton. The first discipline has a complete on-ramp.
The Soul Document Update
The opening page now begins with a personal foreword from the Founding Caretaker. A systematic pass across all chapters to strengthen voice. Banned AI-filler words removed. The three-tier reader-address system reworked. Site navigation and Elements flow design applied across all pages.
The AI Standard and Governance
The Standard was retitled to "The Meridian Codex AI Standard" and given the subtitle: The Soul Document for Artificial Minds. A new Reciprocity Principle was added. CONTRIBUTING.md rewritten to embody the Codex's own disciplines.
The Toolkit Deep-Dives Begin
Scout Mindset, Noticing, and Confirmation Bias published as the first three deep-dive pages. Each follows the six-element structure: Definition, Distortion it addresses, Origin story, Core practice, Integration, and Lineage.
The AI Standard Genesis
Translated the Codex's principles into specific, implementable commitments for AI development. Shifted the focus from abstract alignment to operational vectors.
Epistemic Integrity Refinement
Expanded definitions on Calibrated Confidence to combat performative certainty in LLM outputs. Re-weighted the confidence matrix across the framework.
Foundation Established
The original publication of the Meridian principles. First mapping of the forces of Control and Decay. The Meridian Range defined as the optimal dynamic state.
