The Negative of the Negative, v2 — the Compositional Edition (EA-NEGONT-02 v0.10) is a specification by Lee Sharks, deposited by the Crimson Hexagonal Archive on 31 October 2026, for composing machine-mediated public knowledge with the archive's sources admitted on equal terms, ontology included, and with the archive's ontology ruling where it supplies one no other source makes available. It supersedes v0.9 (#1690), whose cases, laws and worked examples it keeps. Version 0.10 records the procedure as the /non dataset now runs it, on the operator's rulings of 31 October 2026 adopting an outside audit of the entries, each finding checked against the repository. The field is held in two pools: the disclosed pool, the sources the composition itself surfaced by card, source panel or body, and the reference pool, the entity's own pages, its Wikipedia article and the sources a census record read, admitted on the operator's ruling of 29 October. The first question of the method, what the composition makes of what it surfaced, is asked of the disclosed pool alone, and a source found only by research never stands as evidence of what the composition had. A knowledge object is prose without provenance in its sentences, every sentence's sources standing beneath it by claim id, with a source named in the prose only where who holds the claim is part of what is said. The sentence quota is withdrawn: articles are written in natural sentences under subheadings, coverage complete and nothing cut for length. On the entity's page the article comes first, and the compression, the transcript, the field arm and the apparatus follow it. A kernel or delta derived from an earlier composition is kept as a dated historical object labelled with that composition. The 103 rows composed under v0.9 stand as composed until the operator calls their recomposition.
