Core concepts originated in this project:

- Scientific State Vector (SSV): 8-component epistemic state model (D, I, A, T, R, U, V, P)
- ClaimStatus lifecycle: 7-state model (DRAFT → UNDER_REVIEW → PROVISIONALLY_SUPPORTED →
  ENDORSABLE → ENDORSED → CONTESTED → RETRACTED)
- DomainRegistry: discover_and_register() plugin architecture via importlib entry points
- module-manifest contract: signed artifact distribution with TUF-backed revocation
- Gate semantics: structured falsifiability + uncertainty + validity scope as schema-enforced fields

These concepts are documented in:
