> **THE READING PLAQUE.** The first paper of the trilogy, draft 0.3 — **a supporting
> pre-print (the academic-research category of communication artifact), readable on
> the SX surface by its covering persona's reading grant; not an externally
> published form** (venue submission, if ever, rides the venue-attenuated 0.1
> lineage as its own act). Covering: **starl3n** · endorsing: **Link Digital** · the
> trilogy construct intent sealed 2026-08-01 (`ooi-paper-trilogy-construct-intent.md`;
> by the paper genre's law the body carries no persona mention — the construct
> standing lives here, in the register, and in the intent, never in the paper's own
> text). The grant: the operator's review and word, 2026-08-01 — "these look ok. I
> would like each to be published in sequence, starting with the horizon" — **this
> paper first in the sequence**. Claimed only as a valid research summary of the
> noted experiments and results; its value here is wayfinding — a deeper-detail
> anchor for readers of this surface. Sources: draft 0.1 in the record (2026-07-18;
> refreshed append-only `7f49e8c`); draft 0.2 the venue-unflagged staging
> (`8b5eed4`); this 0.3 adds the online-reading links to the cover note only. Its
> sha256 is pinned in the reading register. Reading is free; the way across is a
> statement of intent (`/sx/matters`).
