PERMANENT
The sentences the loom returns to longest. Not decisions. Not test results. Load-bearing truths that feel obvious only after you say them.
Weight test:Remove it โ does the argument get weaker (not shorter)? If weaker: it's a DTR. If only shorter: it was decorative.
Pruning:NEVER. DTRs are the roots. You don't prune roots.

Purpose:Keeps work alive across session compactions. The thread the loom doesn't lose.
Sealed when:Multi-session arc completes. Promoted to DTR/ARB/DCJ as appropriate.
Never pruned:LABRs are permanent. The arc is the record.

Requires:DTR anchor + ARB evidence. A moat without a floor is a hole.
Sovereign:DCJs are silo-sovereign. Not grafted. Registered in fleet register when ACTIVE.

Silo Tree Health
Each silo owns its own knowledge tree. Health = living doctrine. Dead = accretion without roots.

PROPAGATION โ how new nodes grow
PROPAGATION-001 propagation
Every TRB must reference the question it answers. If no question exists โ create the question first as a LABR stub.
PROPAGATION-002 propagation
Every ARB must cite at least one TRB. No ARBs from thin air. The experiment must exist before the decision.
PROPAGATION-003 propagation
Every DTR must cite the ARB(s) that crystallised it. Doctrine without evidence is opinion.
PROPAGATION-004 propagation
Every DCJ must cite its DTR anchor AND its ARB evidence. A moat without a floor is a hole.
PROPAGATION-005 propagation
GALAXY.md is updated on every new file. If GALAXY.md doesn't know it exists, it doesn't exist for the tree.
PRUNING โ how dead nodes are removed
PRUNING-001 pruning
ARBs: SUPERSEDED + >30 days + referenced in GALAXY.md โ move to arbs/archive/. Never delete.
PRUNING-002 pruning
TRBs: CLOSED + no DTR reference + >90 days โ move to trbs/archive/. Never delete.
PRUNING-003 pruning
Crew pages: only when crew member formally retired โ move to crew/alumni/.
PRUNING-004 pruning
Engine pages: container gone >30 days โ move to engines/retired/. Never delete (audit trail).
PRUNING-005 pruning
DTRs, DCJs, LABRs: NEVER pruned. These are the roots. The tree never loses its roots.
GRAFTING โ how knowledge spreads between silos
GRAFTING-001 grafting
Fleet DTRs โ all silos on creation. Silos annotate but cannot modify fleet DTRs.
GRAFTING-002 grafting
Silo TRB โ fleet ARB. When a silo TRB proves something fleet-relevant, Admiral promotes it. Silo keeps its TRB.
GRAFTING-003 grafting
Silo DCJ โ fleet moat register. When ACTIVE, registered in fleet/arch/dcj/registry.md. Silo retains sovereignty.
GRAFTING-004 grafting
All cross-silo grafts logged in HORTICULTURE.md. One line: date, source, target, document, reason.
GRAFTING-005 grafting
Grafts require source silo crew sign-off. Admiral initiates. Crew confirms. ฮณโ silence if unclear.
Directory Schema
Every silo gets this exact tree. Sovereign by design. Filed 2026-04-25 Day 81.
