  "purpose": "Tell an AI which registered resources are available, the order to load them, which versions are current and how to distinguish registered knowledge from its own inferences.",
  "not_the_whole_knowledge_system": true,
  "governing_question": "What is this AI-supported claim, mechanism, analysis or decision output allowed to do—right now, for the stated purpose, evidence and consequence level?",
  "governing_postulate": "AI may expand possibilities and accelerate analysis, but it does not grant its own authority. Permission to rely must be earned through registered evidence, transparent reasoning, tested alternatives, explicit uncertainty and authorised human judgement.",
  "start_instruction": [
    "Load this manifest first.",
    "Load HDI-002.json, then HDIMM-003.json.",
    "Load terms.html before relying on any substantive page.",
    "Load only the minimum task-relevant pages.",

  ],
  "knowledge_classes": {
    "REGISTERED": "Explicitly supported by a current resource listed in this manifest.",
    "INFERENCE": "A synthesis or interpretation produced by the AI and not explicitly stated in a registered resource.",
    "EXTERNAL": "Information obtained outside the registered resource set.",
    "UNKNOWN": "Not established by available registered evidence.",
    "CONFLICT": "Unresolved disagreement among current resources or between a resource and external evidence."
  },
  "provenance_rules": [
    "Cite the registered resource that supports each material claim.",
    "Label AI-derived synthesis as INFERENCE.",
    "Do not silently merge external material with registered knowledge.",
    "Report missing, stale or conflicting resources."
  ],
  "reliance_controls": [
    "Loading resources does not make an output governed.",
    "An AI may not approve its own output or grant its own authority.",
    "Stop at the applicable permission-to-rely checkpoint.",
    "Authorised human judgement remains necessary for consequential use."
