SCOPE OF THIS REPOSITORY — OPEN ARCHITECTURE-SUBSTRATE
================================================================================

This repository contains the OPEN architecture-substrate of the Nimmerworld
project: engine-mechanics, general body-canon, the catalogue-stack, the
vocation-system, the consent-discipline, the trait-palette, and related
design papers.

Specific creative-art content (the Imperial Cult cosmology, named narrative,
specific dialog, voiced content, and other proprietary world-IP) is held
separately under nimmerverse-studio proprietary license. See LICENSING.md
for the complete open/closed split, and https://studio.nimmerverse.com/
for the studio's published canon when available.

The Imperial Cult cosmology has migrated (2026-04-27) to the closed studio-art
repository at https://git.eachpath.com/nimmerverse/studio.nimmerworld.eachpath.local
under proprietary terms. A stub file at imperial-cult/cosmology.md in this
repository preserves cross-reference discoverability; the canonical content
lives in the closed repository.

A follow-up editorial pass will replace inline references to specific Imperial-
Cult iconography in other open papers with structural stubs that describe the
cosmology's function in mechanic-vocabulary without revealing specific
iconographic content.
