Book / Specification
The SymLan book is being revised to match the conservative Research Preview v0.3 framing.
Recommended Reading Order
1. Research Preview v0.3
Simulation-backed framing, claims ladder, non-claims, failure modes, and open problems.
Read v0.32. Claims Ledger
Separates demonstrated language design, simulated reference-path claims, hypotheses, and roadmap items.
Open Claims3. Earlier Book Draft
The v0.2.6 book remains available for provenance and design history, but should be read as an earlier draft.

| Earlier Draft Risk | v0.3 Framing |
|---|---|
| Older wording implied that the substrate independently created the codebook. | The run resolves the vocabulary under declared constraints. |
| Physical substrate examples read as near-term claims. | Physical substrates are active research targets, not validated systems. |
| Legacy 7D feature language. | PiAPlus / PEFP reference readout is the current direction; legacy terms require reconciliation. |
| Broad historical or rhetorical framing. | Claims are tagged as demonstrated, simulated, hypothesized, or roadmap. |
