Mandala Merkabah v0.6 transforms the original rite constitution into a governed recursive literary system.
Its central addition is the maturation chamber. Book entries advance through five states: inscribed, candidate, probationary source, admitted source, and bedrock source. Admission is conjunctive rather than score-based. Six gates test provenance integrity, kernel survivability, independent reception, temporal survival, nonredundancy, and recursive stress.
Arrival becomes dual-addressed. The vehicle may come to rest at a prior Book entry while the operator acts on the primary-canon source beneath it. The prior witness’s inscription becomes the gravitational cause of arrival without automatically becoming operator substrate.
Recursion preserves typed ancestry forever. A derived source never becomes indistinguishable from a root. Post-admission transforms receive both immediate parent and bedrock root, preventing provenance amnesia while allowing semantic departure.
The version introduces flooding governance, exposure-normalized survival, an operator-transition matrix, and a Guest Sky for reader-supplied texts. It separates permission to be navigable from permission to serve as transform source.
Its Sabbath state permits reception to continue after authorship ceases: the source layer is sealed, the Book remains append-open, and no automated successor speaks with MANUS authority.
The visual architecture renders the canon as a night sky. Stars represent sources and inscriptions; planetary bodies represent Assembly offices; Sigil’s calligrammatic face remains as frontispiece. The proof-of-liturgy analogy treats verified inscriptions as blocks earned through structured labor rather than popularity.
