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

v0.22: licensing-marker — Apache 2.0 + AI-attribution + open/closed boundary
Establishes the licensing architecture for the Nimmerworld project. The
boundary EXISTS architecturally as soon as this marker lands; subsequent
content extraction (cosmology migration, reference-stubbing in open papers)
becomes editorial cleanup without licensing-ambiguity growth.
FILES ADDED
LICENSE — Apache License 2.0 standard text; copyright held by
Nimmerverse Studio (David Martin), per Swiss copyright-law
attribution requirement that the human author's name appear.
NOTICE — Project name + copyright + AI-collaboration attribution.
Identifies Claude (Anthropic) as collaborator; the partnership
identity within this project is "chrysalis" with git-attribution
to chrysalis <chrysalis@eachpath.local>. Names the open/closed
scope and trademark holdings.
LICENSING.md — Discursive explanation of the open/closed split. The license-
architecture mirrors the work's own substrate/content distinction
at the world-layer: engine-mechanics + general body-canon are
open under Apache 2.0; specific creative-art content (the
Imperial Cult cosmology; named narrative; dialog; voiced content;
the iconographic invention layered on top of the substrate) is
proprietary nimmerverse-studio. Pattern-precedent cited: D&D 5e
Open Game License + id Software's Doom release + Magic the
Gathering's mechanics-vs-cards distinction.
FILES MODIFIED
imperial-cult/cosmology.md — per-file proprietary header added at the top
marking this file as pending-migration to the closed studio-art
repository. The header serves as an explicit license-override
on this file specifically; it states All Rights Reserved under
Nimmerverse Studio while the rest of the repo is Apache 2.0.
WHAT THIS MEANS GOING FORWARD
The architecture-substrate (vocations.md, consent-discipline.md, gender-parity.md,
trait-palette.md, style-index.md, the architecture.md mechanics-papers across
domains, bodies.md, political-register/architecture.md and economics.md, etc.)
is now licensed under Apache 2.0 and inherits this license for all future work.
The Imperial Cult cosmology is marked-but-not-yet-migrated; cosmology.md stays
in this repo physically until the closed studio-art repository is established,
but its content is governed by the per-file proprietary header.
Trademarks ("Nimmerworld", "Nimmerverse", "Nimmerverse Studio") are protected
separately from the code-license per Apache 2.0 §6.
NEXT STEPS (FOR DAFIT)
1. Establish nimmerverse-studio as a legal entity (Switzerland)
2. Register the trademarks
3. Create the closed studio-art repository (e.g., nimmerverse-studio-art at
studio.nimmerverse.com or equivalent)
4. Migration session: move cosmology.md + extract specific Imperial-Cult
references from open papers + replace with structural stubs
