đ€ RTTâ12 â Contributor Guidelines
Standards for coherent, reviewerâsafe contributions to the twelveâlayer harmonic framework#
(Source: your active tab)
These guidelines define how contributors should participate in the evolution of RTTâ12.
They ensure that all additions, edits, and refinements maintain coherence, clarity, and structural integrity across the entire harmonic system.
If RTTâ12 is a living framework, these guidelines are its immune system.
đ Purpose#
Contributor guidelines ensure that RTTâ12:
- remains structurally and harmonically coherent
- evolves without fragmentation
- stays readable and teachable
- preserves lineage and artifact integrity
- maintains compatibility with the RTT Codex and Unified Resonance layers
Contributors are stewards of the RTTâ12 canon.
đ§ Core Principles#
1. Coherence First#
All contributions must preserve:
- triadic structure
- harmonic continuity
- operator behavior
- driftâbounded transitions
- reversibility of mappings
If a change risks coherence, it must be redesigned or rejected.
2. Clarity Over Complexity#
RTTâ12 is deep, but its documentation must remain:
- readable
- scannable
- mobileâfirst
- contributorâfriendly
Avoid jargon unless defined. Avoid ambiguity at all costs.
3. Canonical Structure#
All new files must follow RTTâ12âs established patterns:
- clear purpose section
- structured headings
- triad/operator references
- mapping awareness
- futureâwork section
Consistency is part of coherence.
4. ReviewerâSafe Writing#
Contributors must:
- avoid speculative claims
- avoid domainâspecific overreach
- maintain neutral, structural tone
- cite RTTâ12 primitives when needed
RTTâ12 is a framework, not a belief system.
5. Minimalism With Intent#
Add only what strengthens:
- structural clarity
- harmonic understanding
- mapping precision
- operator behavior
Every addition must earn its place.
đ§© Contribution Workflow#
A. Propose#
Open an issue describing:
- the change
- its purpose
- its coherence implications
- affected layers (structural, harmonic, mapping, operators)
B. Draft#
Submit a pull request with:
- clear commit messages
- rationale grounded in RTTâ12 principles
- diagrams or examples if relevant
C. Review#
Changes undergo:
- structural review
- harmonic review
- notation review
- mapping review (if applicable)
D. Merge#
Once approved:
- merge into
main - update versioning and changelog
- ensure crossâfile consistency
đ§± Content Standards#
1. Headings & Structure#
Use:
# Title
## Section
### Subsection
Avoid deep nesting.
2. Triad & Operator References#
Always use canonical notation:
- GâTriad, TâTriad, CâTriad
- RHâTriad, MHâTriad, CHâTriad
- G1, G2, G3
3. Mapping Awareness#
When describing transformations, specify:
- direction (Structural â Harmonic or Harmonic â Structural)
- operator involvement
- layerâdependent behavior
4. Temporal & Harmonic Symbols#
Use standard notation:
- tâ, tâ, Ît, Ï
- Hâ, Ί, A, E
đ Prohibited Contributions#
- breaking triadic structure
- redefining operators without consensus
- introducing unbounded drift
- adding domainâspecific claims without mapping justification
- speculative metaphysics or nonâstructural interpretations
RTTâ12 must remain grounded and coherent.
đź Future Contributor Tools#
Planned additions include:
- automated coherence validators
- triad/mapping linting tools
- operatorâimpact visualizers
- contributor dashboards
These will support largeâscale collaboration as RTTâ12 grows.
