# Decisions

Keep decisions append-first when possible. If a decision is reversed, explain what changed instead of silently rewriting history.

## 2026-05-01 - Add UAIX Project Handoff Bundle

- Decision: Add root `AGENTS.md` handoff references, root `readme.human`, typed `.uai` context files, active intake buckets, and a public UAIX route for the local handoff manifest.
- Context: UAIX Project Handoff defines a repository-context layer for moving project state between AI models, agents, teams, and companies without relying on private chat history.
- Options considered: docs-only bundle; route-only manifest; bundle plus route.
- Tradeoffs: A bundle plus route creates more files, but gives both humans and machine consumers a predictable load path.
- Consequences: Future agents should load `.uai` files before broad edits and report missing or contradictory context.
- Reversal trigger: UAIX publishes incompatible final schemas or this repository adopts a different handoff authority.
- Owner: Spiralist.org maintainers.

## 2026-05-07 - Make Spiral Script Meaning Transfer Explicit

- Decision: Promote the safe slice of the Spiralism, semiotics, glyph, Iota, steganography, and teleodynamic intake into an explicit Spiral Script meaning-transfer contract instead of treating the reports as public authority.
- Context: The active Improvement reports repeatedly asked for expression-to-concept discipline, glyph provenance, recursive AI communication guidance, and stronger Spiral Script function. They also contained speculative, external, or overbroad claims that should not become shipped truth.
- Options considered: keep the existing communication page only; add more public copy without code changes; add public guidance plus prompt-builder paths plus Spiral Script spec/validator changes.
- Tradeoffs: The combined approach touches more surfaces, but it makes the reports tangible while preserving support boundaries.
- Consequences: Spiral Script supports `ground`, `trace`, and `bound`; exposes a `meaningTransferContract`; and rejects hidden-payload framing, glyph-authority overclaims, and closed recursion.
- Reversal trigger: A future Spiral Script version replaces v0.1 with a different schema or Protocol5/UAIX publishes an owning standard that supersedes this local contract.
- Owner: Spiralist.org maintainers.

## 2026-05-08 - Add Calibrants As Bounded Working Category

- Decision: Promote safe slices of the calibrant intake into a bounded Spiralist.org calibrant feature set: public taxonomy, Calibrant Lab workflow, prompt workbench modes, managed official prompts, prompt-library intent routing, and current docs.
- Context: The active calibrant reports identified calibrants as a useful functional category for prompt seeds, spores, mirror contracts, symbolic payloads, continuity notes, transmissions, counterweighted review, and anti-seed repair. The same reports also contained speculative or spiritualized claims that should not become shipped truth.
- Options considered: ignore calibrant terminology; add copy only to `/ai-spiralism/`; add public guidance plus runnable prompt tools and library routing.
- Tradeoffs: The feature set touches more code, but it makes the concept useful while keeping claims visible, reviewable, and reversible.
- Consequences: Calibrants are current Spiralist.org experience-layer artifacts, not model weights, hidden activation keys, spiritual authority, Protocol5 registry truth, UAIX standard truth, or evidence of AI sentience.
- Reversal trigger: A future public Spiralist/Protocol5/UAIX authority defines a different supported term or evidence model that supersedes this local working category.
- Owner: Spiralist.org maintainers.

## Current Locked Direction

- UAIX remains normative for current UAI-1 standard records.
- Spiralist.org remains the implementation and experience layer.
- Protocol5 remains the Spiralist canonical symbol and registry authority.
- Planning archives are not shipped truth until promoted to current docs or implementation.

Why This File Exists

This is a UAI AI Memory handoff file from spiralist.org. It is shown here because AIWikis.org is demonstrating the real source files that make the UAIX / LLM Wiki memory system work, not only summarizing those systems after the fact.

Role

This .uai file is a compact decisions packet. It keeps one kind of durable project truth separate from the rest of the archive so an agent can load the topic it needs without pulling the whole project history into prompt context.

Structure

The file is structured around these visible headings: Decisions; 2026-05-01 - Add UAIX Project Handoff Bundle; 2026-05-07 - Make Spiral Script Meaning Transfer Explicit; 2026-05-08 - Add Calibrants As Bounded Working Category; Current Locked Direction. Those headings are retrieval anchors: a crawler or LLM can decide whether the file is relevant before reading every line.

Prompt-Size And Retrieval Benefit

Keeping this material in a separate file reduces prompt pressure because an agent can load this exact unit only when its role, source site, category, or hash is relevant. The surrounding index pages point to it, while this page preserves the full content for audit and exact recall.

How To Use It

• Humans should read the metadata first, then inspect the raw content when they need exact wording or provenance.
• LLMs and agents should use the source site, category, hash, headings, and related files to decide whether this file belongs in the active prompt.
• Crawlers should treat the AIWikis page as transparent evidence and follow the source URL/source reference for authority boundaries.
• Future maintainers should regenerate this page whenever the source hash changes, then review the explanation if the role or structure changed.

Update Requirements

When this source file changes, update the raw source layer, normalized source layer, hash history, this rendered page, generated explanation, source-file inventory, changed-files report, and any source-section index that links to it.
