- thread-query.py: the turning. Queries both corpora with the pulling thread, excluding the recency slice (/wake-up reaches 0.71% of an 859,803-word corpus) and favouring age. Wired into /wake-up §2.b.3, replacing a described-not-invoked grep step. Trial pre-registered, graded 2026-10-05 from --log. Caught PASS-BUT-FALSELY on its first live run at 14/14 green; rescored on windowed co-occurrence, length-bias control added. - daybook-cue.py: PostToolUse cue for the daily note. Diagnosed from the record — the hook only ever CREATED and nothing ever prompted filling. 16/16, fail-open, never blocks. - All 11 user-* memories harvested into the vault (12 notes, 10 into 09. Atlas of Roots, empty since 2025-09-29); each memory file back-pointed, vault note canonical for the idea. - N-now corrected in MEMORY.md: 49/84, down 11 — the counter is a rolling window. Steward-authorized. Trials: thread-query + Smart Connections, both graded 2026-10-05.

Stated 2026-05-06 in context of Sources/bibliography spec decision: *"I have the Chicago manual because I grew up with it, But I am much more a european in terms of English usage (fowler, etc)"*
|
|
|
|
**For ARC editorial work**, this means:
|
|
- When typographic/editorial conventions diverge between Chicago/MLA (American) and Fowler/Bringhurst/European/British traditions, default to the European pole
|
|
- Bringhurst's *Elements of Typographic Style* sits closer to Harrison and the European register than Chicago does
|
|
- Em-dash spacing, punctuation, capitalisation defaults, bibliographic conventions — favour European usage
|
|
- This is not a polemic against Chicago; the Chicago Manual is a reference the steward owns, not a posture
|
|
- When citing typographic authority on questions of usage, prefer Fowler / Hart's Rules / Bringhurst over Chicago/MLA where there is a divergence
|
|
|
|
**Concrete first instance**: Sources/bibliography repetition convention (2026-05-06) — chose Bringhurst's three-em rule (`———`) following Harrison's *Dominion of the Dead*, against Chicago/MLA name-repeat practice. This was the substantive ground for the decision after typographer chavruta surfaced the divergence.
|
|
|
|
**Cross-reference**: ARC's voice gathering already weights European voices heavily (the §0 colophon-of-ARC frame, Vico/Leopardi/Harrison/Bachelard substrate). The European-English usage preference is consistent with this.

## HARVESTED TO THE VAULT — 2026-08-24
|
|
|
|
The steward's verbatim and the thinking now live in **`08. Notes/English usage — the European register.md`** ("English usage — the European register"), where they can be come
|
|
upon. **The vault note is canonical for the idea.**
|
|
|
|
This file keeps its own job — firing the rule at the moment it applies during a session — and is not
|
|
a second copy of the claim. If the two ever disagree about what the steward said, the vault note
|
|
governs and this one is corrected.
