Material from before the current VCDesign (v2). None of it is the current norm.
These pages keep the vocabulary and structure of their time. The current norms are in specs/; to read older terms, see From v1.
The v1 site
- The v1 home page — entry by symptoms, five steps of use, the Agent Era layers, Gate / Tenure, the Maturity Profile, the Constitution and Manifesto (until September 2026)
Earlier VC-AD pages
- VC-AD (earlier page) — the Quickstart prompt and YAML protocols
- Why VC-AD? — the 11 boundaries and the Static Badge
- Value Continuity Design Basic Constitution — the VC-AD constitution
Conceptual lineage before v1
- Philosophy — the premise of time, and the fact that boundaries are not designed
- Narrative — chapters, redefining operation, the Continuer
- Why "Value Continuers" become necessary — the story of a restaurant that moves
- Manifesto — five items
- VCDesign Constitution — a history of constitutions, Phase 0–3
- BOA Core — Boundary-Oriented Architecture
- Decision Closure
- Continuity Claim Layer
- Earlier glossary
- YAML Index — links to earlier repositories (many targets no longer exist)
Third-party research and validation
Third-party research, analytical reviews and independent evaluations of VCDesign. They are propositional and exploratory, not formal definitions or pass/fail judgments, and all of them concern VCDesign before v2.
