| Title | Source | Status | Release use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Teleodynamic Ecosystem Source Review | `teleodynamic-ecosystem-source-review-v3.0.6.md` | Active source review | Official reciprocal VNWO references, lane ownership, relationship boundaries, secure canonical URL treatment, and machine-reader routing |
| Participation Decision and Follow-Through Patterns | `participation-decision-follow-through.md` | Active implementation synthesis | Decision-level comparison, proposal-to-decision diff, implementation evidence, blocked/no-op work, correction, exit, and machine-reader preservation |
| Participation Implementation Patterns | `participation-implementation-patterns.md` | Active implementation synthesis | Readiness, disposition, dissent, access and burden, process metrics, fictional cases, and local drafting |
| Participation and Contestability Synthesis | `participation-and-contestability-synthesis.md` | Active synthesis | Influence levels, lifecycle, anti-participation-washing, dissent, disposition, public-presence caveat, refusal, and exit |
| Participation in LLM Governance | `participation-in-llms-governance-source.md` | Active source report | Participation as distribution of epistemic authority across problem framing, data, evaluation, deployment, and remedy |
| Power of Participation Research Verdict | `power-of-participation-research-verdict.md` | Active source report | Refines voice/exit: isolated withdrawal differs from organized, legible pressure |

| Participation Shaping the Future | `participation-shaping-future-source.md` | Advocacy source history | Duplicate short-form source retained for audit |
| Viability Node Work Observatory Repositioning Prompt | `viability-node-work-observatory-repositioning-prompt.md` | Active source prompt | Canonical v3 identity, source routing, observatory artifacts, and claim boundaries |
| Viability Node Work Observatory About Framework | `viability-node-work-observatory-about-framework.md` | Active source report | Work-constraint cycle, operator library, qualitative resource economy, no-op, and AI-reader posture |
| Virtual Networks Without Overreach Civic Source | `vnwo-civic-application-profile-source.md` | Selectively adopted | Reviewed application profile for disclosure, authority, memory, repair, participation, forkability, and exit |
| Cross-Domain Disambiguation Source | `viability-node-work-observatory-cross-domain-disambiguation-source.md` | Selectively adopted | Acronym disambiguation and bounded reachability/evidence concepts |

## v3.0.6 accepted implementation ideas

- Teleodynamic already references VNWO as the observatory lane; VNWO should reciprocally explain the ecosystem.
- A cross-site link routes authority but does not merge it.
- HTTPS is canonical; HTTP is redirect-only.
- Conflicting roles, releases, or source claims trigger no-op or human review.

- Participation must be connected to declared decision authority and actual open levers.
- The proposal and final decision should be comparable.
- Adopted, partially adopted, deferred, rejected, out-of-scope, needs-review, no-op, and superseded requests remain visible.
- Completed implementation claims require bounded evidence.
- Blocked and no-op work need reasons and reconsideration triggers.
- Material dissent, unresolved gaps, correction history, and exit impacts must survive summarization.
- Participation levels describe authority relationships; they do not rank people or prove one process is universally superior.
- Browser-local drafting remains no-upload, no-network, no-persistence, and advisory.

## Rejected or softened ideas

- Every form of opting out is surrender.
- Participation automatically creates consent, legitimacy, representation, fairness, or compliance.
- Every public post is indexed, archived, or used to train an AI model.
- Silence proves agreement, lack of concern, lack of knowledge, or lack of harm.
- Engagement volume proves support.
- A VNWO artifact verifies implementation or certifies a participation process.

## Source acceptance rule

A research claim becomes public guidance only when it is source-routed, bounded by uncertainty, connected to a concrete artifact, and compatible with privacy, accessibility, dissent, correction, refusal, repair, and exit. Inclusion does not establish consent, representation, certification, legal authority, model inclusion, or implementation evidence.
