These nodes carry the structural load of the graph. Everything else hangs off them. Built first because they are the most defensible and the most cross-referenced.\nPriority Tier 2: The Bridge Nodes (C13–C19) Connect the spine to the visual pattern layer and to implementation. These are the translation nodes between abstract principle and observable structure.\nPriority Tier 3: The Boundary Nodes (C20–C25) Mark the edges of what the catalogue can defend. Typed honestly. Some are T3/T4 — they live in the graph as meaning, not proof.\nA.2 Load-Bearing Subgraph\nThe subgraph that carries the catalogue’s operational claim (the claim that convergence is real and documented) consists of:\nCore (T0–T1, Convergence ≥ 8.0): C01, C02, C03, C04, C06, C07, C08, C10, C11, C15, C16, C18, C23 Conditional (T2 or Convergence 6.0–7.9): C05, C09, C12, C14, C17, C19, C20, C21, C22 Carried (T3+ or Convergence < 6.0): C13, C24, C25\nNodes C24 and C25 are carried in the graph as instructed by Axiom A2: they are named, typed, visible — never smuggled in as T1. They provide meaning-context but zero structural load.\nA.3 Node Count by Tier\nA.4 Domain Coverage\n\n---\n\n## Corpus map\n- Catalogue hub: [Convergence Catalogue — Public Article](/a/oip-convergence-public-article)\n- Nodes: [C01](/a/oip-node-c01-gradient-dissipation-far-from-equilibrium-order) · [C02](/a/oip-node-c02-least-action-variational-principles) · [C03](/a/oip-node-c03-symmetry-conservation) · [C04](/a/oip-node-c04-symmetry-breaking-bifurcation) · [C05](/a/oip-node-c05-criticality-edge-of-chaos-power-laws) · [C06](/a/oip-node-c06-information-entropy-compression) · … (25 nodes)\n- Edge series: [Convergence 1](/a/oip-convergence-edge-1) · [Disconfirming 1](/a/oip-disconfirming-edge-1)","register":"oip_protocol","tags":["philosophy","oip","convergence-catalogue","build-order","systems-theory"],"category":null,"style":{},"claims":[{"id":"c1","text":"The catalogue was built in three priority tiers.","section":"## A.1 Construction Priority","tier":"anecdotal","source_ids":[],"source_status":"unsourced","why_material":"Defines the overall construction sequence and rationale for node ordering."},{"id":"c2","text":"Priority Tier 1 (Load-Bearing Spine, C01–C12) has highest convergence and lowest claim tier (T0–T1).","section":"## A.1 Construction Priority","tier":"anecdotal","source_ids":[],"source_status":"unsourced","why_material":"Specifies the first-built structural core nodes and their properties."},{"id":"c3","text":"Priority Tier 2 (Bridge Nodes, C13–C19) connects the spine to the visual pattern layer and implementation.","section":"## A.1 Construction Priority","tier":"anecdotal","source_ids":[],"source_status":"unsourced","why_material":"Describes the translation nodes between abstract principle and observable structure."},{"id":"c4","text":"Priority Tier 3 (Boundary Nodes, C20–C25) marks the edges of what the catalogue can defend, with some at T3/T4.","section":"## A.1 Construction Priority","tier":"anecdotal","source_ids":[],"source_status":"unsourced","why_material":"Identifies the outermost nodes typed as meaning rather than proof."},{"id":"c5","text":"The load-bearing subgraph consists of Core nodes (T0–T1, Convergence ≥ 8.0): C01, C02, C03, C04, C06, C07, C08, C10, C11, C15, C16, C18, C23; Conditional nodes (T2 or Convergence 6.0–7.9): C05, C09, C12, C14, C17, C19, C20, C21, C22; Carried nodes (T3+ or Convergence < 6.0): C13, C24, C25.","section":"## A.2 Load-Bearing Subgraph","tier":"anecdotal","source_ids":[],"source_status":"unsourced","why_material":"Enumerates exactly which nodes carry the operational claim that convergence is real and documented."},{"id":"c6","text":"Nodes C24 and C25 are carried in the graph as instructed by Axiom A2: named, typed, visible, never smuggled in as T1, providing meaning-context but zero structural load.","section":"## A.2 Load-Bearing Subgraph","tier":"anecdotal","source_ids":[],"source_status":"unsourced","why_material":"Explicitly states the non-structural status and handling rule for the lowest-tier nodes."}],"sources":[],"prov":{"model":"Fable 5 (Claude Code)","action":"write"}}
