DEC-0004: Editorial Guidance v2.0 as Governing Document

Decision

docs/editorial-guidance.md v2.0 supersedes docs/editorial-positions.md v1.0 and governs all content production across all three tracks, all KB entries, and all derivative content. All agents must read it before any content task.

Context

The human assembled project artifacts and submitted them to an external LLM, which produced a 338-line editorial constitution. The document was reviewed and approved by the human, then ingested into the project (see FL-0001).

Rationale

The v1.0 editorial positions document covered 6 specific stances. The v2.0 editorial guidance covers: foundational commitment, method (imaginative synthesis), epistemic spectrum, source handling with library interpretation, expanded thinker positions (Evola in full, Guénon, Eliade, Steiner, Scaligero), narrator voice specification, intellectual habits, the psychedelic question, and the AI question. It subsumes v1.0 entirely.

The epistemic spectrum (6 levels from documented fact to open question) is particularly significant — it gives all agents a shared vocabulary for the most common editorial judgment call.
