- Archive Master Prompt (V0.1.64) Created 🧬
- The 64-Layer Preservation Engine — defines the Archive's core identity
- Archive Master Prompt
- Establishes the 8×8 = 64 archive strata across 8 major domains

2025-11-28
- Trinary Encoding Alphabet & Base729 Mapping 🧬
- Trinary Encoding Specification defines Base27, Base81, and Base729 alphabets with balanced-ternary semantics for RoadChain/Lucidia payloads.
- Significance: Establishes canonical mapping for paraconsistent trits and high-density archival strings, enabling PS-SHA∞ and coherence-aware data interchange.
- Related: Extends the archive's IP catalog beyond workflows and snapshots.

Historical Markers
Use this section to note significant events that predate the archive
Pre-Archive History:
- BlackRoad OS ecosystem development (dates TBD)
- Repository creations and initial commits (to be documented from git history)
- Major architectural decisions (to be backfilled from source repos)
Note: Historical events should be added retrospectively as they are discovered or documented in snapshots
