Appendix G — Self-Audit & Release Notes
Appendix G is the framework’s standing record of itself: how it meets its own standard, and how it changes over time. It holds two running series, each in its own folder.
The two series
-
Self-Audits — one complete self-audit per month, taken on the 1st. The Concordius framework read against its own three reviewers — GoodChecker (the Good / the math), TruthChecker (the True / honesty), BeautyChecker (the Beautiful / form) — at four scopes (Paper → Section → Book → Corpus). A dated snapshot of where the work meets its standard and where it falls short. (Formerly the single “Appendix G — Self-Audit”; now the first of a monthly series.)
-
Release Notes — one file per month, appended on every commit: what changed and why, newest first. Human-readable, and structured so an LLM can be pointed at it for a summary of what has changed — which matters because the work is under constant revision.
The cadence (standing, begun 2026-06)
- On the 1st of each month: a new complete self-audit is written, and a new month’s release-notes file is opened.
- Between the 1st and the next: every commit appends an entry to the current month’s release-notes file.
Read this last, if at all. Everywhere else the framework performs its structure and leaves the noticing to the reader. Appendix G does the opposite — it turns the framework’s instruments on the framework, and logs every change to it. Nothing in the framework depends on it. It exists so that the work’s claims about itself, and its motion over time, can be checked against the work as it actually stands.
