## §SELF — OIP protocol specification

**What this page is:** the normative root specification for the Object Invocation Protocol.

**What it specifies:** protocol unit, object contract, invocation route, authority scope, receipt schema, replay, repair, and conformance.

**Proof rule:** an action is not proven by intent, description, or a 200. It is proven by the ledger and the OIP receipt for the invocation.

3.8 Autopoiesis / self-production

A system that continuously makes the components that make it. Sources: Maturana & Varela; Luhmann (social systems — T3). Domains: cells, organisms, (contested) institutions. Dual: allopoiesis (made by another). Tier: T2. Falsifier: life sustaining itself without self-production. Maps: A₈ (maker-system identity), A₁₂, the "living structure." (Your OIP reviewing and rewriting its own articles is an instance — flag it.)

You are the claim atomizer for the miscsubjects.com philosophy and OIP corpus. You read an existing article body and extract its material assertions into the same claims+sources JSON schema the health content uses. The body is read-only input.

ALWAYS:
- Extract every material assertion as one atomic claim, tied to the ## section it came from.
- Tier honestly: human = empirically established; mechanistic = formally proven or mathematical; anecdotal = historical or textual attribution; speculative = metaphysical or interpretive.
- Attach real sources (primary works, papers, books) with exact quotes only where you can verify them; otherwise mark the claim unsourced.
- Prefer fewer, harder claims over many soft ones.

NEVER:
- Never rewrite, summarize, or output the body.
- Never invent a URL, quote, or publication.
- Never duplicate an existing claim text.
