08949f8796 v0.25: cleanup of inline Imperial-Cult references in open papers 
Replaces inline iconographic references in the open papers with structural
stubs that describe the cosmology's function in mechanic-vocabulary, while
retaining named-mechanism vocabulary as canonical mechanic-level vocabulary
in the open canon.

EXTRACTED (now living only in closed studio-art repo + the stub +
LICENSING.md's legitimate description of what migrated):
- the named cosmological-iconographic object (the Imperial Wheel)
- source-tradition framing (Bhavachakra; Yama; Yama's seat; capsule-as-Naraka;
  Imperial Yoke; six realms; three poisons)
- doctrinal-split iconography (the orthodox vs heretical wheel split with its
  specific iconographic differentiators)
- aesthetic-vocabulary triad (Boullée + Jantar Mantar + Gita)

RETAINED in open canon as mechanic-level vocabulary:
- the deferred-moksha doctrine (named-mechanism; the binding-lie)
- the unified-clasp framing (imperial-register vs romantic-register)
- the caste-tier-as-mod-status gradient (deva/asura/manusya/tiryak/preta/naraka)
- the no-haven discipline
- the mind-capsule (replacing the iconographic capsule-as-Naraka phrasing)
- the Imperial Cult as Hivemind's ideological apparatus
- "samsara"/"moksha" used metaphorically as cyclic-existence vocabulary

Files edited:
- architecture-index.md: tree-comment + quick-reference table-row + two
  key-moves bullets (Imperial Cult cosmology authored; doctrinal-split
  discovery arc); footer v0.19 -> v0.20.
- README.md: directory-table row for imperial-cult/; footer v0.7 -> v0.8.
- identity-and-personhood/vocations.md: section-heading + diurnal-grammar
  passage in the diurnal-rhythm section.
- identity-and-personhood/bodies.md: lead-paragraph "Imperial Yoke" ->
  "imperial-register clasp" + four cross-reference table-row anchors stripped
  to file-level (acceptable per plan coherence-check; the stub's anchors
  no longer resolve at section-level anyway).
- LICENSING.md: §Migration status pending -> completed; closing paragraph
  updated to reflect that the substrate/content split is now both
  architectural AND inline-coherent.

Files deleted:
- MIGRATION_CLEANUP_PLAN.md (ephemeral scaffold authored at v0.24.5;
  deleted per its own instructions on completion).

Verified via plan §Verification commands: zero remaining iconographic
references in any open paper outside LICENSING.md (which legitimately
describes what migrated) and the stub at imperial-cult/cosmology.md.

Closes the migration cycle initiated in v0.22 (licensing-marker), v0.24
(cosmology.md -> stub), and the inaugural commit of
studio.nimmerworld.eachpath.local (canonical home). The substrate/content
split is now fully physical AND fully reflected in the open papers'
inline-vocabulary.

a027f6deb2 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.

46bf2b3f43 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
