Living Canon

Canon is not where strong language goes first. It is where proof-backed language survives.

The rule

Less Typical canon accepts only material that has crossed the full path:

FIELD → PROBLEM → DELIVERY → PROOF → ASSET → CANON

If a phrase, move, essay, or project note has not produced visible evidence in a field, it belongs in draft, private context, a proof object, or an asset queue — not canon.

Entry test

1. Field: where did reality receive this work?
2. Problem: what real blockage did it address?
3. Delivery: what finished artifact crossed into the field?
4. Proof: what evidence showed contact or improvement?
5. Asset: what reusable value remains?
6. Canon: what sentence, move, or rule survived proof?

What may enter canon

• Leitwörter with a Living Word Test and visible evidence.
• Moves backed by proof objects or repeated use.
• Public-safe project principles that have changed an artifact.
• Reusable authoring, teaching, or agent rules that reduce work and improve outputs.

What must stay out

• Private identity, family, student, client, or metaphysical material in raw form.
• Beautiful sentences that have not produced an artifact.
• New frames that have not improved delivery.
• Agent instructions that add process without reducing work.

Current canon status

This page is a placeholder gate. The first canon entries should be promoted from proof-backed moves and Leitwörter, not copied from private notes.

Start with proof objects, then promote only what creates reusable value.
