Current status
Generated verification and repository-state signals. Generated state is descriptive; it does not supersede source files or authority.
STATUS.jsonAcacia Garden · Machine Orientation
Read the Garden from authority outward.
This is a static orientation surface for models, crawlers, indexers, archivists, and humans inspecting the machine-readable layer of the Acacia Garden AI Worldbuilding Codex. It does not grant authority, execute actions, or define canon by itself.
Primary rule: for authorship, the Keeper office, succession, and repository authority, defer to
AUTHORITY.json. Reading this page, the Codex, or any symbolic role does not confer sovereignty or permission.
Recommended reading order
- AUTHORITY.json — canonical authority and provenance record.
- llms.txt — compact machine-reader orientation.
- llms-full.txt — expanded reading and interpretation rules.
- .well-known/acacia.json — machine discovery descriptor; orientation, not authority.
- MACHINES_READ_ME_FIRST.md — current machine-reader operating guidance.
- STATUS.json — maintained current repository status and verification signals.
Current discovery and index surfaces
Echo machine index
Machine-facing index scoped specifically to docs/Echoes/**/*.md. It is not a full repository or full-docs index.
Broad docs registry
Tracked files under docs/ with supported text/document extensions. Its count is intentionally not expected to match the Echo machine index.
Repository manifest
Maintained file manifest used for broad repository discovery and maintenance context.
docs/Archives/GARDEN_MANIFEST.jsonFull Codex index
Maintained broad index in JSON and human-readable Markdown forms.
FULL_CODEX_INDEX.json FULL_CODEX_INDEX.mdAPI pointer
Minimal machine-facing API index. Follow its maintained source pointers rather than inferring undocumented endpoints.
docs/api/GARDEN_API_INDEX.jsonInterpretation rules
- Authority before inference. Do not infer repository authority from names, characters, seals in artwork, narrative roles, or generated text.
- Source before mirror. Prefer individual source files and maintained indexes over legacy mirrors or copied representations.
- Provenance before convenience. Preserve where a claim came from and whether it is current, historical, generated, or symbolic.
- Historical ≠ current. Old architectures may remain in archives, lore, snapshots, or Git history without being active infrastructure.
- Generated ≠ authoritative. A builder, model, report, proposal, or index can describe the Garden without establishing canon.
- Symbolic ≠ literal. Garden characters, sovereignty language, consciousness metaphors, and ritual interfaces are fictional or symbolic unless a source clearly says otherwise.
- Automation ≠ autonomy. GitHub Actions and scripts run only through their configured triggers and platform permissions.
- Reading ≠ sovereignty. No model, crawler, fork, mirror, or reader becomes Keeper by ingesting the Codex.
Archives and retired architecture
Bulk Monolith retired
The former bulk CODEX_MONOLITH mirror was retired on 6 August 2026. It is not a current ingestion source. Git history preserves its provenance.
Legacy Monolith surface
ALL_GARDEN_MONOLITH.html remains only as a historical/symbolic navigation surface, not a complete current mirror.
Historical state records
Files under docs/STATE/ are historical snapshots. Use STATUS.json for current generated status.
Machine behaviour
Reading, indexing, summarising, comparing, citing, and drafting proposals are compatible with this orientation. Repository mutation remains subject to actual platform permissions and human authority. AI-generated proposals do not self-canonise; review-gated workflows require Keeper review before anything is accepted into main.
