Ordinative Category Theory (OCT) extends classical category theory by introducinga level of orderly validity based on relational coherence (`Coh_Omega`), emergencyfunctional (`Phi_Omega`) and degeneracy (`Delta_Omega`). The founding manuscript integratesaxiomatic, classical-ordinative map, theorematic program and validation protocol.The current version is a preprint candidate aligned to formal freeze v1.0 candidate,with theorematic claims in scope in state `revise` and explicit roadmap towards `validated`.
