Overview

The clade-index is the central registry for the entire hyperpolymath ecosystem. It provides a VeriSimDB-backed taxonomy of 200+ repositories organised into 12 clades, with a pointer authority system for tracking data ownership, and VCL queries for dashboards, drift detection, and work tracking.

Map and territory: This registry is the map — queryable, presentable, always clean. Repositories are the territory. Editing the map never damages the territory.

Clade Taxonomy

Code	Clade	Description
fv	Formal Verification & Proofs	Provable correctness, reversibility, dependent types
nl	Nextgen Languages	Compilers, runtimes, language tooling
rm	Repo Management & Tooling	Scaffolding, graph analysis, bot orchestration
gv	Governance & Standards	Licensing, compliance, policy enforcement
db	Databases	Database engines, query languages
ap	Applications	End-user apps, web, desktop, services
ix	Infrastructure & Cloud	Containers, deployment, sysadmin
dx	Developer Ecosystem	Dev tools, editor integrations, bindings
pt	Protocols & Interop	Internet standards, protocol implementations
ax	AI & Neurosymbolic	ML, neural proof synthesis, AI governance
gm	Games & Interactive	Game engines, interactive experiences
sc	Security	Scanning, vulnerability management, access control

Identity Model

Every repo has:

• Primary key: GitHub (gh:hyperpolymath/{name})

• Foreign keys: GitLab, Bitbucket, Codeberg, SourceHut mirrors

• UUID: Deterministic v5, derived from github.com/hyperpolymath/{name}

• Clade: Primary (1) + secondary (0+)

• Lineage: standalone, monorepo, monorepo-child, inflated, deflated

Pointer Authority

Every cached value in VeriSimDB declares its canonical source:

• pointer — value lives in the repo (VeriSimDB caches + drift-detects)

• local — VeriSimDB owns it (TODOs, bot observations)

• derived — computed from other values (clade health scores)

Contractile System

This repo includes a clade-hygiene.a2ml contractile:

• CLADE-001: Every repo must have .machine_readable/CLADE.a2ml

• CLADE-002: CLADE.a2ml must declare a primary clade code

• CLADE-003: Primary clade code must be one of the 12 valid codes

Implementation Phases

Phase	Deliverable	Status

4	ReScript/typed-WASM portal	Pending
5	LLM query endpoint	Pending
6	Bot write endpoints	Pending
7	Contributor OAuth	Pending
8	Repo lockdown	Pending
