+
+== Classification Principle
+
+**Priority**: Core CNO properties, especially **reversibility** and **inverse operations**
+
+**Focus areas**:
+1. CNO identity (programs that do nothing)
+2. CNO reversibility (inverse operations are CNOs)
+3. CNO composition (CNOs compose to CNOs)
+4. Logical ↔ Thermodynamic reversibility (Landauer/Bennett)
+
+**De-prioritize**: Domain extensions (quantum, filesystem) until core is solid
+
+---
+
+== 🎯 TIER 0: Critical CNO Reversibility (TOP PRIORITY)
+
+=== 1. StatMech.v:cno_logically_reversible ⭐⭐⭐
+
+**Line**: 260
+**Statement**:
+```coq
+Theorem cno_logically_reversible :
+  forall p : Program,
+    is_CNO p ->
+    logically_reversible p.
+```
+
+**What it proves**: CNOs are their own inverses (identity is its own inverse)
+
+**Status**: 80% complete, needs final step
+
+**Difficulty**: 🟢 **EASY** (5-10 tactics)
+
+**What's needed**:
+- Helper lemma: `eval_state_eq` (if s =st= s' and eval p s s'', then eval p s' s'')
+- OR: Simplify using "CNO preserves state, so eval p s s"
+
+**Priority**: ⭐⭐⭐ **HIGHEST** - This is THE core CNO reversibility proof
+
+**Estimated effort**: 1 hour (with helper lemma)
+
+**Dependencies**: None (self-contained once helper added)
+
+---
+
+=== 2. StatMech.v:bennett_logical_implies_thermodynamic ⭐⭐⭐
+
+**Line**: 249
+**Statement**:
+```coq
+Theorem bennett_logical_implies_thermodynamic :
+  forall (p : Program) (P : StateDistribution),
+    logically_reversible p ->
+    shannon_entropy P = shannon_entropy (post_execution_dist p P).
+```
+
+**What it proves**: Bennett's key insight - logical reversibility implies thermodynamic reversibility
+
+**Difficulty**: 🔴 **HARD** (30+ tactics, needs bijection theory)
+
+**What's needed**:
+- Lemma: Reversible programs induce bijections on states
+- Lemma: Bijections preserve entropy (measure theory)
