Direction: Paper 5 → preceding paper (never the reverse; verified via Zenodo `related_identifiers[].relation = "cites"`). | Position | DOI | Verified live | |---|---|---| | Paper 1 | `10.5281/zenodo.22723397` — *Built Systems and Morphogenic Systems* | HTTP 200 | | Paper 2 | `10.5281/zenodo.22723852` — *Black-Box Behavioral Conformance for Morphogenic Systems* | HTTP 200 | | Paper 3 | `10.5281/zenodo.22724834` — *Boundary Interfaces and Machine-Entity Relations* | HTTP 200 | | Paper 4 | `10.5281/zenodo.22725471` — *Morphogenic Information Architecture* | HTTP 200 | ## Federation cross-reference - **NODE-21 federation graph edge:** `EDGE-21` in `chanelprincess/geometry-intelligence.com/src/data/graph-edges.ts` (commit `50caa37`, deployed `b0e65b21`, live 2026-09-26). - **Wikidata series item:** `Q141453158` (Morphogenic Systems Research Series) - **Wikidata subject item:** `Q141453159` (Geometry Intelligence) - **Wikidata publisher item:** `Q138189229` (KTS Global) - **Wikidata author item:** `Q137953077` (Tim Jacobs) ## Publisher-metadata disambiguation - Zenodo API returns `metadata.publisher = null` for record 22979742 (Zenodo self-hosting; DataCite fills the field with `KTS Global`). - DataCite records `publisher = "KTS Global"` verbatim (verified above). - Wikidata `P123 = Q138189229` (KTS Global) is the Federation-canonical publisher reference. - All three are consistent modulo Zenodo's null (which is a Zenodo record-shape idiosyncrasy, not a real disagreement). ## Non-injection discipline preserved (NODE-6 skill boundary) Per `chaos-kts-production-agent` §6 sacred-nodes: `node-6: data-plane-only-no-surface-injection` and `federation-node-onboarding` sacred-invariants: `node-6: evidence-locker-anchor-only`. This ClaimReview: - Records publication-record facts only. Does NOT adjudicate the technical content of Paper 5. - Does NOT enact Principle I (Scope Minimization of Protective Constructs), Principle II (Construction-Time Identity), Principle III (Explicit, Named, Recorded Authority), or the Transparency Principle. Paper 5 §5 reports the system SUBMITTED these principles for ratification rather than enacting them. - Does NOT constitute grading of Paper 5 §7 Claim A, B, or C. - Does NOT constitute peer review or independent third-party validation. - Preserves author-attributed hedges verbatim: "to our knowledge, the first reported", "no known direct biological precedent". ## Change log - **2026-09-26** — Initial record created and deposited. Approved by Tim Jacobs (Ruling R-A, 2026-09-26). Deposited by production agent under `federation-node-onboarding` skill authority. --- *End of evidence record.*
