Written to be read out of order
Nothing here is built to be read front to back. One entry covers one thing, and the order they come in is not part of the design.
The entries so far set out where the notes get written from, and what never makes it out.
Words before anything else
What comes next is a stretch of definitions.
One of them has to be flagged ahead of the rest, because the phrase gets used here in a way it is not usually used. "Separation of powers" is not the legislative-executive-judicial split taught in a civics class. Here it means dividing execution, audit and approval between separate agents: the one that carries the work out, the one that checks it, and the one that signs off at the end. The same words, used for something else — which is why the note is stuck to the term rather than to its first appearance.
The rest of the stretch: keeping decisions in writing. A rule that anything past undoing gets confirmed by two parties. Narrowing the source of information down to a single place. A way of handing a role to an AI and letting the AI run. These recur constantly further on, so they get taken one at a time.
Technical terms come with a short gloss right beside them — the plain-language gloss rule. A few words dropped in after the term, not an expanded explanation.
Then the parts that got built
After the definitions the entries change character. How the rules for deciding were settled. How several roles held by AI were fitted into something that ran. The stopping mechanism, and the way a cleared piece reaches publication on a schedule rather than by hand. And what went wrong.
Whether a piece goes out at all is a call a person makes. The writing is where the AI does the work, and the draft that comes back gets taken apart before any of it is used. Not all of it runs unattended.
Something gets designed, put to work, comes apart, gets repaired. The later entries follow that.
Further out there is the question of moving what got built here somewhere else, and of what is left by accumulating the records.
The machinery in those later entries is the machinery this record runs on.
