Alexa Amundson 8f94430012 chore(consolidation): migrate from blackroad-os-ideas and blackroad-os-research
## Summary
- Migrates roadmaps and RFCs from `blackroad-os-ideas`
- Migrates research papers from `blackroad-os-research`
- Part of Phase 1 BlackRoad OS consolidation

## Files Added
- `docs/roadmap/` - 2025 roadmaps
- `docs/rfc/` - RFC templates
- `docs/ideas/` - Idea proposals
- `docs/papers/` - Research papers (PS-SHA, SIG, finance automation)
- `docs/research/` - Research prompts

## Test plan
- [ ] Verify docs build
- [ ] After merge, archive source repos

# Trinary Logic in BlackRoad OS
BlackRoad OS agents reason with three states: +1 (true/affirmed), 0 (unknown/undecided), and -1 (negated/contradictory). This representation keeps uncertainty explicit and allows contradictions to be managed rather than hidden.
## Belief Representation
- **Vectors of trinary values:** Each proposition maps to {+1, 0, -1} to capture stance and uncertainty.
- **Confidence weights:** Optional weights can scale the impact of each value when aggregating across agents.
- **Temporal context:** Beliefs can be journaled over time, enabling a PS-SHA∞-backed history of shifts.
## Combination Rules
- **AND:** Minimum of contributing values, keeping contradictions (-1) dominant over unknowns (0) and truths (+1).
- **OR:** Maximum of contributing values, preferring truths (+1) but preserving contradictions when present.
- **Consensus:** Weighted sums normalized to the trinary domain to find majority positions while surfacing disagreement.
## Operational Patterns
- **Decision gating:** Actions require +1 consensus or explicit override when -1 appears.
- **Escalation triggers:** Presence of balanced +1 and -1 across critical propositions triggers contradiction events.
- **Logging:** Every aggregation result is written as a PS-SHA∞ entry for auditability.
## TODOs
- Extend combination rules with temporal decay to emphasize recent evidence.
- Define canonical proposition sets for finance, compliance, and platform operations.
