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

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

Volume II - Classic map -> order

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

Volume III - theorem program

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

Volume IV - Validation protocol

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

Volume V - Implications and research agenda

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

Transversal editorial standards

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

Deliverable editing (step 5)

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