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.

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.
