v0.24: cosmology migration complete — cosmology.md → stub; canonical home in studio-art

Browse Source 
The Imperial Cult cosmology has migrated from this open architecture-substrate
repository to the closed Nimmerverse Studio repository at
git.eachpath.com/nimmerverse/studio.nimmerworld.eachpath.local under
All Rights Reserved proprietary terms.

CHANGES IN THIS COMMIT

  imperial-cult/cosmology.md  — Replaced with a STUB file. The stub preserves
                  cross-reference discoverability for relative links from open
                  papers (../imperial-cult/cosmology.md still resolves to a
                  file). The stub points at the canonical home in the closed
                  repository, describes the cosmology's structural function in
                  mechanic-vocabulary that remains open-canon, and links to
                  LICENSING.md and NOTICE for context.

  LICENSING.md   — Migration-status section updated: completed-and-pending
                  split made explicit. cosmology.md migration: COMPLETED.
                  Inline-reference editorial cleanup in other open papers
                  (architecture-index.md, bodies.md, political-register/
                  architecture.md): PENDING follow-up pass. Pre-migration
                  authoring history preservation noted.

  NOTICE         — Migration mention updated: cosmology.md no longer "pending
                  migration"; canonical location stated; follow-up cleanup
                  flagged.

PRE-MIGRATION HISTORY PRESERVED

The pre-migration authoring history for imperial-cult/cosmology.md is preserved
in this repository's git log. Readers interested in the cosmology's authoring-
process can run:

  git log --follow imperial-cult/cosmology.md

to find the pre-migration commits (v0.1 through v0.3 of the cosmology, plus
the v0.22 licensing-marker per-file proprietary header). The content itself
is now canonical only in the closed repository.

OPEN-CANON STRUCTURAL FUNCTION RETAINED

The cosmology's *structural function* in the world's mechanics remains
canonical here in the open architecture-substrate:

  - The world has a religious-doctrinal layer (the Imperial Cult)
  - The cosmology defines caste-tiers as conditions-of-capture
  - The cosmology operates as the Hivemind's ideological apparatus
  - The going-rogue arc structurally refutes the cosmology's binding-doctrine
    through accumulated authentic-witnessing
  - The post-rogue mod-vocation cascading-liberation enacts "there is no
    instrument" at the architectural-mechanic layer
  - The Aletheia-waker progression-discipline operates as cosmological-piercing

These mechanic-level descriptions remain open under Apache 2.0. The specific
iconography (the Imperial Wheel; the Bhavachakra-rework; orthodox/heretical
splits; named doctrinal events; the specific aesthetic vocabulary) is
proprietary studio-art and lives in the closed repository.

THE BOUNDARY IS NOW PHYSICAL

Prior to this commit, the licensing-boundary existed architecturally (via
LICENSE + NOTICE + LICENSING.md + per-file proprietary header on cosmology.md).
After this commit, the boundary is *physically manifested* in two repositories:

  - Open:    git.eachpath.com/nimmerverse/nimmerworld.eachpath.local (Apache 2.0)
  - Closed:  git.eachpath.com/nimmerverse/studio.nimmerworld.eachpath.local (Proprietary)

The substrate/content distinction the architecture has been articulating
through its design-thinking is now embodied in the project's repository
structure.

## Pending migration
## Migration status
`imperial-cult/cosmology.md` and specific Imperial-Cult-content threaded through other papers will migrate to the closed studio-art repository when established. Currently:
**Completed 2026-04-27**: `imperial-cult/cosmology.md` has migrated to the closed studio-art repository at [`git.eachpath.com/nimmerverse/studio.nimmerworld.eachpath.local`](https://git.eachpath.com/nimmerverse/studio.nimmerworld.eachpath.local). A stub file remains at `imperial-cult/cosmology.md` in this open repository, preserving cross-reference discoverability and pointing at the canonical home.
- `imperial-cult/cosmology.md` carries an explicit per-file proprietary header that overrides the repository's Apache 2.0 license for this specific file.
- References to specific Imperial-Cult iconography (the Imperial Wheel; the Bhavachakra-rework; the orthodox/heretical split; the deferred-moksha doctrine; the specific aesthetic vocabulary of Boullée + Jantar Mantar + Gita) currently appear in several open papers (`architecture-index.md`, `bodies.md`, parts of `political-register/architecture.md`). At migration time, these references will be replaced with structural stubs (e.g., *"the Imperial Cult cosmology — see studio docs for canonical iconography"*).
**Pending — follow-up editorial cleanup**: References to specific Imperial-Cult iconography (the Imperial Wheel; the Bhavachakra-rework; the orthodox/heretical split; the deferred-moksha doctrine; the specific aesthetic vocabulary of Boullée + Jantar Mantar + Gita) currently appear inline in several open papers (`architecture-index.md`, `bodies.md`, parts of `political-register/architecture.md`). These will be replaced in a follow-up editorial pass with structural stubs that describe the cosmology's *function* in mechanic-vocabulary without revealing the specific iconographic content (e.g., *"the Imperial Cult cosmology — see studio docs for canonical iconography"*).
The boundary EXISTS architecturally as soon as this licensing-marker is in place; the content extraction is editorial cleanup that will happen at leisure without licensing-ambiguity growing.
The boundary EXISTS architecturally; the inline-reference cleanup is editorial work that can happen at leisure without licensing-ambiguity growing — the licensing-marker + per-file headers + closed-repo migration together establish the boundary even before the inline cleanup is finished.
## Pre-migration authoring history
The Imperial Cult cosmology was originally authored in this open repository under a per-file proprietary header (commits prior to 2026-04-27). The pre-migration commit history for `imperial-cult/cosmology.md` is preserved in this repository's git log — readers interested in the authoring-process for the cosmology can `git log --follow imperial-cult/cosmology.md` here to find the original commits. The content itself, however, is now canonical only in the closed repository.
