- Rename 'three-pronged' folder to 'knowledge-layers' — prong metaphor
was misleading (implied parallel tines), replaced with epistemic layers
(deductive base, empirical middle, probabilistic oracle — vertical stack)
- Collapse 11 overlapping files into 3 coherent documents:
- knowledge-layers/_index.org: core framework (two engines + one store,
World Model formula, 0-14 layer table, provenance store design,
conflict resolution, cold-start, stage mapping)
- knowledge-layers/practical-implications.org: design-world-aware-of-
physics, 10 powers, Schafmeister existence proof, epistemic transparency
- knowledge-layers/neurological-empirical.org: neural networks in
provenance framework (kept intact)
- Relocate wolfram/mathematica and Schafmeister docs to ideas/viability/
- Integrate into main architecture _index.org:
- Gate: expanded from two vectors (ACL2+LLM) to three (deductive,
provenance/empirical, LLM oracle)
- Autodidactic loop: split into Track 1 (deductive hardening, fast)
and Track 2 (empirical validation, slow, experimental-feedback-driven)
- See also: added Knowledge Layers cross-reference
- Add all-lisp geometry engine note (ideas/lisp-geometry-engine.org) as
concrete illustration of the empirical layer's effect on design work

ISMAP
is moderate — few non-Japanese vendors target APPI specifically, and the 2022 amendments added requirements that created compliance gaps.
ISMAP (Government Information System Security Management and Assessment Program)
Japan's government cloud security program — analogous to FedRAMP. Cloud services used by Japanese government agencies must be ISMAP-authorized. Managed by the Digital Agency and the Information-technology Promotion Agency (IPA).
Who must comply: Cloud service providers selling to Japanese national and local government agencies.
Why it matters: Like FedRAMP, ISMAP is a procurement gate. Authorization is time-consuming and expensive. A compute marketplace provider with ISMAP authorization has exclusive access to the Japanese government market. First-mover advantage is significant — as of 2025, fewer than 100 services are ISMAP-registered.
