The siblings' file profile

Original document, reproduced unchanged. Exact Markdown. Carried by all 14 R6 checkpoints (workspace/). It is not in the repository. sha256 361232b4de0bebbe. These instructions govern research runs, not checkpoint interviews. They keep the run's own words: a room is a community, a mark an artwork, the analyst the aggregator, the case lead the community coder and the global model the population model.

Target length: under 3,400 words. Fourth version, 7 October 2026: names.jsonl, and the data structure's sixth column (J). Third version, the same day: counts in three modes, the organizing-end record, typed episode kinds, prompts beyond codes, the form-pass check replaced and the hour-73 boundary as global A1 has it (J: "go ahead", 7 October). Second version, 5 October 2026: the waived checks named, confidence rows typed, one form for IDs in prose, v32's own theme IDs for r/place, and Part II's fields typed, after Codex's runtime answer (RUNTIME-codex.md, blockers 3 and 8), its field review (REVIEW-field-codex.md, findings 4, 6 and 7), an independent check, Codex's recheck (quotes stay strings), and an audit on 6 October (the global checkers read through maps).

The case aggregator and the field model write the global aggregator's files. This profile says, for each file, which global definition binds, where the file lives, which IDs it uses, and the few fields a sibling adds or replaces. Everything not named here is the global definition, field for field. A validator built from this profile wraps the global validators; it relaxes no global check except the ones the tables of waived checks and of file names name.

IDs, and how they leave

Rooms have no legs: where a global field asks for a leg, a room writes its stage (R4), so since is R4-pass-3. Each revision of a finding carries rev, a sequence the controller stamps per finding, and supersedes names the exact earlier revision, as F-003@R4#2 (the global check still reads the ID before @); a forward reference, a cycle or a reference to a revision marked lost is refused, and the references survive export and rollback. r/place writes its legs. Inside a sibling every ID is bare. When a file leaves, the controller prefixes every local ID and every reference to one, recursively through nested fields, with the room's name (denmark:c0042; sub: in the tables above stands for it) or field: (r/place). Reddit's item, thread and author IDs are source IDs, never prefixed. An unprefixed local reference in an exported file is an export error.

IDs in prose. In Markdown files an ID is written in backticks, as T4-002, and only that form counts as a reference. The exporter prefixes a backticked token only when it matches an ID domain above and resolves inside the sibling; a backticked token that matches a domain and does not resolve is an export error. Quotations are never changed, in any file and whatever they contain: a text or quote field, a span inside quotation marks, and a Markdown blockquote are copied byte for byte.

Waived global checks

The validator does not run stage_C1.py or stage_C2.py whole: they assume rooms, a third order, sub:code IDs and the global stage and file names. It reuses their checks on quotes, counts, references, loops, order and the critic's return, over the sibling's files through the table of file names below, and replaces the checks in this table. A global check neither reused nor replaced is listed in the validator's report as not run, never skipped in silence. Each row has a passing and a failing fixture.

File names. Where a global check reads a file, the sibling's file stands in its place:

The structure

The model

Group fields (r/place). On an element or arrow at group level, groups holds exactly one G ID; at inter-group level, two or more; at person and field level, groups is empty or names the groups the claim is about. group_evidence[{group, codes}] has one entry per named group, each with at least one code whose item a member of that group wrote or that reports that group's act. room_side is a list with one entry per named group, {group, answerable, what_a_room_would_show, why_not}: answerable is yes, partly or no; what_a_room_would_show is required unless no; why_not is required unless yes.

Counts and samples. tool.py count makes every count, in one of three modes (room contract, "What a count is for"), and a file that states one carries {mode, unit, n, denominator: {unit, n, of}, receipt}. Coverage: matched IDs over a named population, with no gate. Prevalence: the claim's ID and its own gate text; carries, had the opportunity and does not, and had no opportunity, summing to the testable units; units that are not testable (rule 6) are listed and counted beside them, never as zero. Aftermath: global A1's share (organizing_end.json). Every count states its window's endpoints and lists the units at a boundary. The count unit is one of codes, coded items, threads or authors, and groups for r/place. A deleted or unknown author is excluded and counted, never one author. of says which set, as "r/place's live codes". Groups are counted from groups.jsonl only. A sampling unit (sampled_against, units) is one of episode, phase or group (r/place) or episode (rooms), and is never mixed with a count unit in one figure.

live_aftermath, on each strong arrow (global C2 asks early_late of strong arrows), is {live, aftermath, spans_73}, counted in the arrow's sampling unit by the hour of the evidence the arrow cites from each unit: at or before hour 73, live; strictly after hour 73, aftermath, as global A1 counts. A unit whose cited evidence falls on both sides counts once on each side, and its ID is listed in spans_73.

The literature, the account and the record

The sibling's own files

Quotes. A quote is always the verbatim string, as the global files and checks have it (C2's support[{code, quote}] included): the source's text between the code's offsets, resolved through cite. Where a sibling file needs the citation too, it sits beside the quote, never inside it: cite{item, start, end, thread, hour, author}, with the source's item and thread IDs unprefixed. A quotes list in a sibling's own file (groups.jsonl, interactions.jsonl) holds {code, quote, cite} objects.

What the validator checks beyond the global checks

• Every ID matches its domain above, and every reference resolves inside the sibling.
• Every waived check's replacement, as its table row says.
• Every names.jsonl theme resolves, and its label equals the coded label.
• assignments.jsonl has exactly one row per coder theme, or per code of a split one, and each T4 in to exists.
• Every sampled_against entry names one declared sampling unit, and an arrow uses one unit; every stated count resolves to its receipt, mode, unit and denominator.
• confidence.jsonl has a line for every T4 theme, dimension, element and arrow, and its hash matches the sealed copy.
• r/place: the group fields as above; group counts come from groups.jsonl; theme_map.jsonl covers every gate and every emitted theme, with at most one residue.
• No file holds a canvas field or an atlas reference.
• On export, every local reference is prefixed, no source ID is, and every quotation is byte-identical to its source.

What no validator checks: whether an arrow's mechanism is right, whether the groups were drawn well, whether a room really could answer a room-side statement, and whether a reader understood what it was served. Those stay with the critic, the readers and J.
