guide / Research / Reference — The Papers Index

The Papers Index

What this is: the catalogue of every paper in the agentprivacy-docs corpus, each made known for its purpose. The V6 documents cite siblings by name; this file is where every name resolves. When a new paper enters the corpus, it enters this index in the same commit.
Naming convention (First Person, 2026-06-10): the canon papers are one book, Privacy is Value, in versioned volumes. Each volume stands alone and carries the series title plus its own direct title: Privacy is Value · V5.4: The Amnesia Protocol · Privacy is Value · V6: The Gathering Turn and the Moving Ceiling. Same book, different volumes, readable independently.

The book · Privacy is Value (current volume: V6)

Series title File Purpose Status
Privacy is Value · V6: The Gathering Turn and the Moving Ceiling papers/v6/privacy_value_v6_formal_specification.md THE formal specification and current authority: the full model, R(t) and t*, the preconditions, C1 to C89 reproduced in §17 (register since advanced to C96 — Bands IX–X), the narrative corpus, full references CURRENT HEAD
Privacy is Value · V6: The Swordsman Reading papers/v6/pvm_v6_compressed.md the compressed specification: every equation, eight pages, for agents and reviewers who need the shape before the proofs current
Privacy is Value · V6: The Mage Reading papers/v6/pvm_v6_companion_guide.md the companion guide: what the mathematics means, Promise Theory, economics, ceremonies, standards, reading paths by role, glossary bridge current
Privacy is Value · V6: The Research Paper Edition papers/v6/dualprivacy_researchpaper_v6.md what changed in the mathematics at V6, plus the provenance reconciliation; builds on the v4.3 proof body below current
Privacy is Value · V6: The Crosswalk Edition papers/v6/privacy_value_v6.md the V5.4-to-V6 skeleton with CARRIED/REVISED/NEW markers; kept so the path from V5.4 reads clear current (bridge)
Privacy is Value · V6: The Whitepaper papers/whitepapers/swordsman_mage_whitepaper_v6_3.md the technical architecture paper: Swordsman and Mage derived from the First Person; body v6.3, V6 edition by note current
Privacy is Value · V5.4: The Amnesia Protocol papers/v5/privacy_value_v5_4_formal_specification.md the predecessor volume: the static equation, the algebraic foundation, the Amnesia Protocol; V6 carries or revises its sections by number completed volume, pinned (the Era-Reading Principle: volumes do not expire, they complete)
V5.4 companion guide · V5.4 compressed papers/v5/pvm_v5_4_companion_guide.md · pvm_v5_4_compressed.md the V5.4 volume's Mage and Swordsman readings, permanently that volume's readings completed with their volume
Privacy is Value V5 (the essay) papers/v5/privacy_is_value_v5.md the narrative essay of the V5 era, "The Equation Evolves" completed with its era

Compendium note (2026-06-11): the classes of document (standalone volume · volume-bound reading · spine apparatus · machine companion · narrative corpus) and the structure of the assembled book are drafted in chronicles/2026-06-11_compendium_plan_privacy_is_value_the_book.md, awaiting the First Person's structural review (📖 RB-20).

Class and Part assignments (phase 1, 2026-06-11): Class S, standalone volumes: the V4/V5.4/V6 formal specs (Parts I, II, IV) · the whitepaper (IV) · the Zypher paper (unbound, candidate annex). Class R, volume-bound: each era's readings, essays, notes, the crosswalk, the research-paper edition layer, the proof body v4.3 (serves I to IV). Class A, spine: the register · this index · the glossary · Promise Theory · the visual guide. Class M, by pin: the dark/light JSONs per era, the grimoire JSONs. Class N, sister body: the tomes, grimoire texts, Selene's Spellbook (see the compendium front matter, One Work, Many Expressions). The compendium manifests (compendium/part-*/PART.md) carry the per-document rows.

The authority files (not papers, but every paper leans on them)

File Purpose
research/CONJECTURE_REGISTER_V6.md the single conjecture-numbering authority, C1 to C96 plus CM-C47; when any paper and the register disagree, the register wins
models/privacy_value_model_v6_dark.json · _light.json the machine-readable model: full (learning path, register, equations) and runtime-compact
research/privacy_value_v6_draft.md the V6 working record: Parts I to V as drafted on the autopath, full honest-limits sections

The proof and lineage bodies

File Purpose Status
papers/lineage/dualprivacy_researchpaper_v4_3.md the research paper's proof body: the mathematical derivations the V6 edition layers over stable proof record
papers/lineage/understanding_as_key_zypher_paper_v1.md the Zypher paper: comprehension as a key primitive standalone, current
papers/lineage/research_proposal_v2_0.md the collaboration invitation (v2.2 content) standing invitation
papers/whitepapers/MAGE_EXTENSION_WHITEPAPER.md · SWORDSMAN_EXTENSION_WHITEPAPER.md the two browser-extension product whitepapers product papers

The research-note series (where V6 grew)

research/ holds the dated note series: the Lorenz dynamical ceiling, the EML three ceilings, ARCH-1 and ARCH-1R/T, the two Bakhta responses, wound-and-cap, the Schrottenloher/Existence-Leak note, the Horizon District durability note, Aletheia-and-Lethe, and the V5.1 to V5.3 notes before them. Each carries its own conjecture block, reconciled to the register at the 2026-06-10 lock. Post-path: Limitative Theorems and the Privacy Is Value Model (research/limitative-theorems-and-privacy-is-value.md, 2026-06-28) reads the V6 ceilings and the existence-leak law as privacy-flavoured instances of Gödel and Tarski; it minted Band IX (C90 to C93) at Gate G6. Framing layer, not a new result; the existence-leak Stage-2 bar is untouched. The Hearthold edition (cityofmages Tome X — The Hearth, 2026-07-01) minted Band X (C94 to C96) — the Privacy Is Value Model read off the cousin-forge's running did:cid build (Hearthold), discharging C39 to ~80%; framing/build layer, city-lineage.
