Canon Principles

Canon Principles are findings that have reached Canon tier — Established or Supported with specific evidence. The CP series ranges from foundational observations about relational dynamics through formal instruments and ecclesiological diagnostics. Each principle represents a claim the framework is willing to defend under adversarial testing.

Using the Canon index

“Canon” identifies an internal framework status. It does not establish independent validation. This page lists principle titles and topic groupings; it does not supply a full-text link for every listed principle.

For accessible source text, start with the public Second Edition, Working Papers or the Research and Agent Index. Read each source’s evidence status alongside its claims.
