Front Matter

The Intelligentism Specification is the authoritative public description of the framework. It is maintained as structured MDX in the project repository; the Git history is the authoritative revision history. Everything published here is versioned, dated, and marked with a document status.

How to read this specification

• Books group related chapters. Books are numbered so their order is stable even as chapters are inserted.
• Chapters carry their own metadata: status, version, last update, and the proposals that govern them.
• Status tells you how much weight a chapter carries. Accepted chapters have been reviewed. Draft, Research, and Concept chapters have not, and must not be quoted as settled positions.
• Formulas are never presented without their assumptions and limitations. Every formula page draws from a single shared formula registry, which is also what the interactive calculators consume.

What this specification is not

It is not law, not investment advice, not an offer, and not a finished ideology. It is an open framework intended to be modeled, criticized, tested, revised, and — where the evidence supports it — implemented gradually and voluntarily.
