EA-OPSEM-IDP-01 is the indexed document package for Operative Semiotics, deposited 2026-08-16 by Rebekah Cranes for the Institute for Diagrammatic Poetics, and the first deposit for the operativesemiotics.org surface.
The package exists because the work is whole in the archive and not whole at its own address. Sixteen deposits carry components of Operative Semiotics, but the monograph record (#1079) holds 27,728 characters while its body sits at #950 under the title Planning Documents, Algorithms, and Diagnostics, which holds 1,149,275. The monograph's own body_status reads recovery=FULL-AT-DEPOSIT-950 — a pointer away from itself. Recovery was complete and nothing was lost; what did not survive was the shape of a book. The IDP is the interim correction, gathering pointers to what the archive holds and attachments for what it did not.
Eighteen workplan documents are attached, recovered from the generated-corpus-v1 release of the data-rhizome and hash-verified against the recovery index. Among them is OS_NINE_VOLUME_SERIES_ARCHITECTURE.md, which records the governing decision that Operative Semiotics ceases to be one book and becomes a nine-volume cycle — named not as an expansion but as a structural correction against a persistent compression strain in the single-volume build. The nine volumes take the names of the Muses: Calliope, Urania, Clio, Melpomene, Thalia, Polyhymnia, Terpsichore, Erato, Euterpe. Deposit #600, The Muses as Operators, is what makes that naming formal rather than ornamental.
Attribution within the package is deliberately three-way. The index is Cranes'; the book and its components are Johannes Sigil's; the workplans are Lee Sharks' as MANUS. An index does not absorb what it points at, and a package that flattened the three into a single creator would assert that the plan and the work were made by the same act.
