The books
Three books, written out of this estate and living inside it. Each one is markdown first: the chapters are the source of truth, the web edition renders them, and one print PDF carries the whole thing offline. Each book also carries its own version, and that version moves only when the book’s content moves — the site’s version, in the badge above, moves on every push. v1.0.0 is reserved for a book’s actual final release, so a number below it says plainly that the book is still under review.
Fractal Semantic Graphs: Meaning Through Connectivity v0.3.0 · under review
The second edition of the argument the frozen first book made.

| v0.3.0 | v0.6.21 | The fractal claim corrected, after a sibling site read chapter 6 and reported the invariant backwards. What survives every zoom is the GRAMMAR (verb edges with inverses, meaning in connectivity, supersede never delete, provenance); the ONTOLOGY is meant to change at every altitude, and a system whose types and verbs are identical all the way down is a hierarchy. The four-row table, the zoom test, the front matter's learning outcome and the reference card all restated. The chapter now anchors the reading to the corpus document that says it outright ('some articles will be substantial enough to need their own ontology and taxonomy... the expected fractal behaviour', 28 July 2026) and records that this estate had already made the same correction in the Universe volume on 23 August and never propagated it. Applying the sharpened test cost the book a verdict: the document-to-word zoom is a decomposition in one vocabulary, so it is a hierarchy, and the chapter had scored it a pass for two book versions because the old test never asked. |
| v0.2.0 | v0.5.18 | Adopted into per-book versioning. The book was written at site v0.5.12 and self-reviewed at v0.5.15; v0.2.0 was chosen because it succeeds the frozen first edition rather than starting again. |
Creating a Book Using Agentic Workflows v0.2.0 · under review
The making-of, for authors who want to use the same agentic workflow.

| v0.2.0 | v0.6.9 | Retitled from 'Creating a Book Using Fractal Semantic Graphs' after the founder read it and the review found the old name unearned: 'fractal' appeared nine times in 31,221 words, six of them quoting the other book. Front matter rewritten to record the rename rather than hide it. Two corrections carried in the same pass: the colophon's claim that the second book was unwritten is now scoped to when it was true, and three references to a test file split at v0.5.20 are corrected. |
| v0.1.0 | v0.5.18 | Adopted into per-book versioning. The book was written at site v0.5.13 and self-reviewed at v0.5.16, which corrected eight numbers it had got wrong about this repository. |

How a book is versioned
The rule comes from brief
39: change the plumbing, the tooling or anything around a book and its version stays
put; change what the book says and the version moves. book.json in
each folder holds the version and the SHA-256 of every chapter, and
admin/build/gen_bookmeta.py fails the build if content moved without the
version moving, or the version moved without content moving.
