One chosen arrangement rules its transport time.
A carrier can always sound as itself. The registry gives each score or playlist one bounded transport contract: which carrier comes next, where a scored span sits, which transitions are authored, and where an unresolved gap must be acknowledged. Changing playlists changes the route without rewriting or imprisoning the underlying files. That is what file-agnostic means here.
Registration is not admission. Admission is not publication. Each is a separate act with its own signature.

Digest of the manifest with manifest_sha256 nulled, serialized at two-space indent with a trailing newline — the same procedure the repository validator runs.
- Two-Clock Doctrine
- score_time is canonical and belongs to the work. carrier_time is local and belongs to whichever file is currently bound. No surface may equate them without a recorded parity check — a stitched master and seven separate stems must produce the same score clock or the mismatch is the finding.
- Authored Hold
- At an unresolved boundary — an unadmitted transition, a missing carrier — the transport freezes artistic time and keeps the witness and O4 systems running. It never auto-continues. Crossing requires an acknowledged, explicit cut.
- Milestones are authored
- The 19 load-bearing moments are compositionally sourced. None is inferred from the waveform, and none may be regenerated by analysis.
- v1 is overlap-free
- Where Act I appears to overlap, that is renderer residue — visual only. The manifest declares no authored-overlap audio contract and performs no gain automation.
- One transport-time authority
- The manifest rules. The carrier reports. A file's own duration is evidence, never a verdict.

act1.myth → act1.mirroradmitted · no auto-continue
- recurrence texture
- energy continuity
- inherited filament
- one path becomes two non-identical bodies
- axis latency
- shared membrane
- — nothing authored
- split pressure
- cyan/magenta lineage
Mirror enters inside a two-second overlap; Myth does not disappear at the technical boundary. Renderer residue only: renderer-defined Myth residue beneath Mirror entry (~2s visual). v1 declares no authored-overlap audio contract and performs no gain automation.
act1.mirror → act1.bridge-17-32admitted · no auto-continue
- pitch-class kinship
- severed energy
- collective mass becomes gated recursive distance
- Mirror field
- language
- bead one at severance plane
Abrupt severance after fourteen seconds of instrumental aftermath.
act1.bridge-17-32 → act1.witnessadmitted · no auto-continue
- modal distance
- pitch-class affinity
- recursion trace
- traveling beads become witness/mass relation
- bridge event clock
- bead seventeen passes behind off-center Witness halo
The bridge completes by relational condition, not by generic fade completion.
act1.witness → act1.doctrineadmitted · no auto-continue
- harmonic citizenship
- modal inheritance
- constraint
- off-center witness relation becomes centered mineral ignition
- mass distribution
- Witness viewport jurisdiction
- aperture becomes unearned working center
Continuous in harmonic lanes; discontinuous in spatial authority. Renderer residue only: Witness aperture bloom into one-beat Doctrine contraction (~0.448s visual). v1 declares no authored-overlap audio contract and performs no gain automation.
act1.doctrine → act1.blackoutadmitted · no auto-continue
- O4 safety orientation outside artistic clock
- active procession becomes authored zero
- all artistic emission
- afterimage
- consoling transition
- regime boundary
Exact 0.695-second zero-emission interval.
act1.blackout → act1.scherzoadmitted · no auto-continue
- unresolved substrate pressure
- isolation as non-assimilated lane
- tempo to 137 BPM
- new social shell
- fresh attack
- Doctrine regime
- spectral continuity
- celebration, substrate, and isolation become simultaneous
No crossfade; first Scherzo visual attack is authored after 180 milliseconds.
- 0:00Origin: true blackEstablish zero as authored state rather than missing output.
- 0:24Myth: first apprehensible recurrenceLet continuation become visible before it becomes virtuous.
- 1:57Myth: bounded recurrence rideRide a named axis without allowing motion to become its own reason.
- 4:06Myth: environment exceeds objectChange the listener's distance from the material as a thematic act.
- 5:28Mirror: latent collective entersReveal the collective inside the individual field without a clean door.
- 9:08Mirror: density chosenMake collective mass rise while individual event legibility falls.
- 11:47Bridge: the 17/32 breachExpose the recursive descent that carries inherited meaning across severance.
- 11:52Witness: accountable carrierReplace collective certainty with a locatable witness under load.
- 14:07Witness: parallax without centeringRide the witness-mass relation while refusing to crown either body.
- 16:54Witness and weightKeep testimony locatable while consequence propagates around it.
- 18:52Doctrine: centered ignitionBegin convergence from a center that has not earned sovereignty.
- 23:00Doctrine: substrate descentMove pressure below immediate visibility without equating depth with moral rank.
- 26:58Doctrine: rupture retainedReconstruct the field without repairing away the break.
- 28:04Doctrine: maximum exposureExpose the system at maximum breadth before the terminal procession.
- 30:25Literal blackoutSever an active doctrine without afterimage or consoling transition.
- 30:45Scherzo: three truths at onceKeep celebration, substrate pressure, and isolation co-present and non-interchangeable.
- 32:42Scherzo: the person breaks through the hitLet the widest crowd field make the singular person harder, not impossible, to locate.
- 33:18Scherzo: the audience loses exteriorityTurn theatrical address into a governance event.
- 33:44Scherzo: porous terminal releaseEnd with all three lanes still perceptible rather than sealing the hit as victory.
Five movement identities and four internal hinges are named. The threshold out of the Act I Scherzo is declared and heldrather than assumed. Armor Bearer now has a pinned candidate carrier; the other identities remain held without fabricated zero-length ranges.
A movement may arrive out of order. It binds at the node it actually is; the nodes before it stay pending, and the boundary into it stays an authored hold that only an acknowledged explicit cut can cross. Nothing is reordered to make the delivery look complete.

Carrier audition is independent of playlist placement. No ordering, transition, or merge decision is admitted by this review document — including whether Armor Bearer remains an extension of Battlements.
A public playlist is an ordered way through independently held carriers; it is not an ownership claim over those carriers. Private and unlisted arrangements remain in the authenticated Homeskillet and Architect rooms.
