Decision worksheet — Language of Fear publication slate, RevB
Current-status pointer — August 15, 2026: This 36-row worksheet preserves the August 14 decision-stage state and anchor. Current implementation status, exact public facts, route assignments, and correction pointers are reconciled in
PUBLICATION_RECORD_RECONCILIATION_2026-08-15.md; task evidence is inPUBLICATION_RELEASE_LEDGER_2026-08-15.md. Do not read a historical “pending” cell here as superseding those dated records.
Purpose. Put the thirty-six identified artifacts into one publication-control surface. Larry Todd Wilson’s rulings are now entered. This worksheet distinguishes a resolved authorial decision from completed implementation and verified public readiness.
Current anchor. Local repository commit 62bd9e2; the Warning Exchange is deployed as TLOF-WE-0.2 and its local test suite passes 18/18.
Nine fixed cells. Artifact · contribution · state/evidence · six-parts/question-survival · knowledge type · arc role · public exposure · civic grammar · sequence/disposition.
| Artifact | Contribution | State / evidence | Six parts / QS | Knowledge type | Arc role | Public exposure | Civic grammar | Sequence / disposition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. First manuscript | Foundational map of fear language and its system | Existing live work; predates this proposed slate | Ready as existing context; no finding here supports stopping its unrelated commerce | R1 Declarative + R7 Systemic, type-true as a text | ARC-1 | Declarative knowledge may explain its relationship to the new book; no relabeling is required | Current M | Keep available; use as the understanding base |
| 2. Existing commerce pages | Transact and deliver the first manuscript | Existing operational surface; not an offer for the new/planned artifacts | Outside the new-artifact slate; no checkout stop | Not a knowledge-type demonstration | ARC-SUPPORT | No separate type label needed | Current L | Maintain separately; do not use as a blocker for this slate |
| 3. Warning Exchange | Lets a person re-express and examine one warning in Receiving or Giving mode | Live; TLOF-WE-0.2 aligned, visibly labeled, 18/18 local tests, live endpoint returns 0.2 | Ready as a bounded experimental tool; add a visible fallibility/high-stakes-use limit before major promotion | R7 type-true as an externalized system; supports R2 practice but does not prove acquired human R2 | ARC-2 support | Say “practice support” or “systemic guardrail,” not proof of skill acquisition | Current M; H potential | Live now; contextualize in W2 |
| 4. Aug-13 field note | Historical account of the move from research to manuscript/tool and a conditional future intention | Live and dated; second manuscript was assembled the following day | Ready as historical writing; no change is authorized | R6 type-strained; reflective account | ARC-FRAME | Preserve unchanged | Current M | Keep unchanged; explain the offerings in a separate new Field Note |
| 5. Existing reader PDF | Delivers the first manuscript | Live existing artifact | Ready for its existing role; outside the proposed new-artifact offer | R1 + R7 as the manuscript it carries | ARC-1 | No declarative-knowledge relabeling is required | Current L | Keep available |
| 6. Second manuscript, RevB | Four-mode curriculum for Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing | Ratified canonical text | Authorial gate closed; final PDF rendering and inspection remain | Designed to cultivate R2; the text is not evidence of acquired automatized skill | ARC-2 | Title: How to Receive and Give Warnings Without Surrendering Judgment; description may say it delivers procedural knowledge | Current L; H potential | Standalone $24 PDF; separate page and purchase; soft launch before announcement |
| 7. Research report source | Gives the substantial research/evidence account behind the first manuscript | Finished older source; status language predates later work | Selected for public release after dated status reconciliation and citation check | R1 + R7 type-true | ARC-1 / support | Carry evidence status and date | Potential M | Publish in the launch evidence package after reconciliation |
| 8. Verification register | Records claim-level locating and verification work | Internal record with later supplements and a disputed/current-summary question | Selected for public release; reconcile scope, current status, references, and privacy first | R6/R7 support, not reader skill proof | ARC-SUPPORT | State exactly what was and was not verified | Potential H | Publish with the worksheet and report after reconciliation |
| 9. How This Book Was Checked, RevH | Explains the checking method in reader-facing prose | Near-finished; its own header requests a certifying read | Ready for certification; not a blocker to deciding the slate | R6 type-true as an examination record | ARC-SUPPORT | Label as method/checking account | Potential H | W3 after one independent certifying read |
| 10. Calibration apparatus | Shows how initial coding/calibration was bounded | Finished internal apparatus with an explicit “not validation/reliability/proof” firewall | Ready internally; any public methods piece must carry the firewall | R6/R7 support | ARC-SUPPORT | Preserve the boundary verbatim | Potential M | W3 optional methods exhibit |
| 11. Constructs and graph source | Makes the system’s concepts and relations visible | Fifteen constructs and Mermaid/edge source exist; public render absent | Ready as source; a public-safe render and legend are needed only if selected | R1 + R7 type-true | ARC-1 | Name Declarative and Systemic | Potential H | W1 candidate |
| 12. Deep-research corpus | Source base and provenance for the first manuscript | Finished body; unshaped and internal | Ready as evidence base, not as a reader product | Support for R1/R7; not itself a teaching demonstration | ARC-SUPPORT | None until shaped | Current L | Hold internal |
| 13. Conditional-volume intention | Names the possible “when/limits” continuation | No separate volume exists | Ruled internal; no public promise | R3 possibility, not a promise or demonstration | INTERNAL | Do not announce | None | Keep as an internal possibility |
| 14. Practice of Reading Fear companion | Would have collected daily practice material named by the first manuscript | Unassembled; four feeders exist; overlaps the new manuscript and Exchange | Supersession decision complete | R2 curriculum potential | ARC-2 support | State only that the new book fulfills the earlier companion promise if clarification is needed | Current L | Superseded by the new book |
| 15. Companion pool | Preserves verbatim-extracted practice material with provenance | Finished internal feeder | Ready for assembly use; changed wording requires fresh review | Supports R2 curriculum | ARC-SUPPORT | Not standalone | Current L | Feed row 14 only if needed |
| 16. Practice pages | Adds newly authored per-class exercises | Finished internal feeder | Ready for comparison/assembly; not independently owed | Supports R2 curriculum | ARC-SUPPORT | Not standalone by default | Current L | Feed row 14 or a pilot if unique |
| 17. Companion guide | Offers a gentle introduction for sharing the work | Draft; explicit productization gate closed | Ready for Larry’s gate decision; otherwise internal | R2/R4 potential | ARC-2 | Label only after review | Potential M | Fold, release, or retire after the gap decision |
| 18. Self-reflection tool | Provides an interactive reflection exercise | Draft; gated; predates the Exchange | Ready for a supersession comparison | R2 support; no evidence of acquired skill | ARC-2 | None unless retained | Potential L | Prefer retire/fold unless unique value remains |
| 19. Practice card | Condenses a daily reading practice | Private-use artifact | Ready for private testing; public role unruled | R2 practice support | ARC-SUPPORT | Label Procedural only if released | Potential M | Candidate pilot/handout, not a separate launch |
| 20. Architecture v2 | Records an earlier product/assembly architecture | Partly superseded by the four-mode manuscript | Ready as lineage; not current public architecture | R7 type-true internally | OFF-ARC | None | Current L | Archive; retain only still-live dependencies |
| 21. Full Classification of Fear | Proposes an additional taxonomy | Draft, proposed, unvalidated, method-side | Ready only as an internal proposal | R1 type-true as proposed taxonomy | OFF-ARC | Do not mix with eight-types book framing without a ruling | Potential L | Hold internal |
| 22. Redistribution map | Routes first-book material into the four-mode rewrite | Complete internal 46-row instrument | Ready and useful internally | R7 type-true | ARC-SUPPORT | None | Current L | Keep as internal provenance |
| 23. Disclosure pathway | Supplies understanding-before-claims sequence logic | Finished internal proposal | Ready to govern planning; a public essay would require evidence from actual use | R3/R7 planning support | ARC-FRAME | Label as proposal if ever published | Potential M | Use internally; possible W3 retrospective later |
| 24. Rendered exchange graph | Would give the graph a public visual form | Named render is absent; source survives | Not ready as an artifact; no blocker unless selected | R1/R7 potential | ARC-1 | Needs legend and public-safe render | Potential M | Regenerate from source if W1 selects it |
| 25. The Shepherd | Could carry the ideas through narrative/episodic form | Draft unavailable in the repository | Cannot be assessed | R8 unruled until read | OFF-ARC pending recovery | None | Potential M | Recover once, then decide; do not place by hope |
| 26. Seed document | Unknown intended role | Unavailable/lost | Cannot be assessed | Unruled | OFF-ARC | None | None | Record as lost unless a dependency appears |
| 27. Voice signature | Governs authorial consistency and private-layer boundaries | Current private instrument | Ready for internal governance; never a public artifact | R6 type-true internally | INTERNAL | Never expose private layer | None | Continue using privately |
| 28. Translation/licensing checklist | Screens quotation/licensing risk | Executed internal checklist; not a legal warranty | Ready as internal gate | R3 conditional release support | ARC-SUPPORT | Publicize only bounded conclusions if needed | Current L | Apply whenever translated quotations are selected |
| 29. IPMP records | Hold product/copy source-of-truth | Existing internal records | Ready internally | Not a demonstration | INTERNAL | None | Current L | Regenerate ruled copy from these records |
| 30. Render drafts and snapshots | Preserve provenance and revision history | Existing archive | Ready for audit; not reader-facing | Not a knowledge demonstration by themselves | ARC-SUPPORT | None | Current L | Preserve; cite only if the process becomes an exhibit |
| 31. Eight-types pointing piece | Would explain the first book and new manuscript through the knowledge-types frame | Proposed; not drafted | Not selected for launch | R1/R6 framing about R1/R7/R2 | ARC-FRAME | Must distinguish teaching a type from evidence of acquisition | Potential H | Hold as a later possibility |
| 32. Public Exchange-contract explanation | Would explain how the tool refuses to take the user’s judgment | Contract exists in code; reader-facing explanation not drafted | Ready as a proposal; publish only after bounded extraction and misuse review | R7 type-true; supports R2 practice | ARC-SUPPORT | Use 0.2 and state limits | Potential H | W3 candidate |
| 33. Audio edition | Would make the practice available by ear | Idea only | Not selected for launch | Format is not R5 by itself | ARC-2 extension | Do not call audio “Embodied knowledge” without a somatic design | Potential M | Later possibility; make no launch promise |
| 34. Print edition | Would provide a physical vessel for the line | Idea only | Not selected for launch | Format, not a knowledge demonstration | ARC-1/2 vessel | Label the carried work, not the format | Potential M | Later possibility; make no launch promise |
| 35. Teaching kit/workshop | Could create practice, facilitation evidence, and carrier communities | Curriculum skeleton exists; no assembled kit or pilot | Ready for a pilot decision, not a public efficacy claim | R2/R4 potential; acquisition requires observed use | ARC-2 | Call it a pilot until evidence exists | Potential H | Pilot after W2 |
| 36. Public announcement | Announces the working new offer after verification | Structure exists; earlier no-second-purchase language is superseded | Requirements decided; final copy waits on working public routes and the 48-hour soft-launch test | Not a knowledge-type demonstration | ARC-2 opener | Say the description delivers procedural knowledge; do not promise demonstrated competence | Potential H | One public announcement after the successful soft launch; no separate buyer notice |
Corrected sequence
- Prepare: render row 6 under the ratified title and author identity; build its separate $24 product, checkout, delivery, and recovery paths.
- Evidence: reconcile and publish rows 7–8 with this worksheet, the verification package, all three verbatim outside readings, and the condition-resolution record.
- Place: give the existing book and new book separate pages and feature both independently on the main site; keep row 3 free and public.
- Soft launch: verify payment, delivery, recovery, policy consistency, public evidence, links, mobile display, and TLOF-WE-0.2 for 48 hours.
- Announce: publish row 36 once, publicly, after the soft launch passes; publish a separate new Field Note explaining the two offerings and leave row 4 unchanged.
- Hold/internal: row 13 remains internal; row 14 is superseded; rows 33–35 are not launch promises; other internal, archival, and unavailable material retains its assigned status.
Decision status
All authorial and publication-policy decisions surfaced by this worksheet are resolved in AUTHORITATIVE_DECISION_RECORD_2026-08-14.md. Individual artifacts still retain the implementation and verification conditions named in their rows.
This worksheet is decision-complete. It is not a certification that the public product and evidence routes have passed the required 48-hour soft-launch test.
