# OCT Editorial Plan v1.0 Candidate v0.1

Date: 2026-04-19
Purpose: Chapter-by-chapter editorial plan to bring the manuscript to preprint-ready.

## Editorial objective

Transform `OCT_FOUNDATIONAL_OPERA_DRAFT_v0_7.md` into a consistent, readable and
scientifically uniform compared to the formal freeze candidate baseline.

## Editorial structure by volumes

## Volume I - Fundamentals

1. Standardize initial definitions (`Coh`, `Phi`, `Delta`, `Omega`).
2. Insert "Scope and epistemic limits" box at the beginning.
3. Align each clause with the typed notation (`OCT_TYPED_FORMAL_SPEC_v0_1.md`).

## Volume II - Classic map -> order

1. Standardize template M01-M30 (classic, limit, extension, criterion, validation).
2. Reduce linguistic redundancies between waves 1/2/3.
3. Add final mini-summary for each block M01-M10, M11-M20, M21-M30.

## Volume III - theorem program

1. Enter unified decision state (baseline `revise`) as a methodological note.
2. Clearly separate:
   - formal statement,
   - proof sketches,
   - criteria for falsification.
3. Make the internal references F/D/A consistent.

## Volume IV - Validation protocol

1. Integrate the results of cycles 1-4 with a single timeline into text.
2. Explain the difference between proxy metrics and target operational metrics.
3. Add "Roadmap from revised to validated" section.

## Volume V - Implications and research agenda

1. Strengthen the transition from theory to grammar of human science.
2. Clarify strong claims vs. conditional claims.
3. Close with a research agenda on 3 levels: mathematical, computational, epistemological.

## Transversal editorial standards

1. Consistent vocabulary (avoid unnecessary synonymous variants).
2. Unified notation (same symbolic signatures in all volumes).
3. Single format decision/validation tables.
4. Verifiable cross-references between files.

## Deliverable editing (step 5)

1. `OCT_FOUNDATIONAL_OPERA_DRAFT_v0_8.md` (structural uniformity)
2. `OCT_FOUNDATIONAL_OPERA_DRAFT_v0_9.md` (style/scientific refinement)
3. `OCT_FOUNDATIONAL_OPERA_PREPRINT_CANDIDATE_v1_0.md` (preprint-ready)
