This document is a living work plan for extracting and governing the Crimson Hexagonal Archive’s coined vocabulary. Its initial phase templates say “not started,” but the later progress table and session log record substantial execution. It should therefore be read as a plan whose headings preserve the original design while its ledger records the state reached during the same work cycle.
The planned workflow has five phases. Metadata are pulled from every repository record and candidate terms extracted from titles, descriptions, keywords, codes, quotations, and emphasis. File bodies are then processed in resumable batches. A human review removes ordinary-language false positives, restores missed coinages, assigns definitions and categories, and reconciles known institutional lists. The resulting JSON and Markdown index are deposited and surfaced as a searchable table. High-priority terms may later receive provenance packets.
The progress ledger reports 845 metadata records processed, 1,524 repeated candidate terms, tiered canonicalization, 735 of 800 downloadable body records processed, sixty-five download failures, and 129 of 131 capture-registry queries cross-referenced. Merge, noise filtering, human review, and the final v1.0 index remained pending, while an initial raw-data deposit was in progress.
This is a valuable continuity artifact because it makes unfinished work visible. It is not itself the final index, and the extracted counts are not counts of confirmed coinages. Automated phrase extraction will include names, ordinary phrases, bibliographic language, duplicates, and template artifacts. The internal instructions referring to /home/claude/, session compaction, and present_files are ephemeral execution notes and should not be treated as public architectural requirements.
# CRIMSON HEXAGONAL ARCHIVE: TERM INDEX WORK PLAN
## EA-REGISTRY-TERMINDEX-PLAN v1.0
Author: Lee Sharks (ORCID 0009-0000-1599-0703)
Date: 16 June 2026
Status: Work plan with progress tracking
Purpose: Systematic extraction, canonicalization, and versioning of all coined terms, concepts, entities, frameworks, operators, institutions, heteronyms, and designations across the Crimson Hexagonal Archive (~841+ deposits)
---
## Rationale
The archive is minting terms faster than they imprint to long-term memory. An estimated 200-300 coined concepts exist across 841+ deposits without a unified index. Once built, the index becomes:
---
## Phase 1: Metadata Pull
Status: NOT STARTED
Estimated compute: 30-45 minutes
Resumable: Yes — paginate via Zenodo API, save after each page
### 1.1 Pull all records from crimsonhexagonal community
### 1.2 Extract terms from metadata fields
### 1.3 Deduplicate and categorize
Progress checkpoint: After Phase 1, we have ~60-70% of coinages from metadata alone. Save all three files to /home/claude/ and present. If session compacts here, next session loads these files and proceeds to Phase 2.
---
## Phase 2: File Content Extraction
Status: NOT STARTED
Estimated compute: 2-3 hours (may require multiple sessions)
Resumable: Yes — track which record IDs have been processed
### 2.1 Download and read markdown files
### 2.2 Batch processing strategy
### 2.3 Merge with metadata terms
Progress checkpoint: After Phase 2, we have ~90% of coinages. The remaining 10% are implicit terms that require human judgment.
---
## Phase 3: Human-in-the-Loop Pass
Status: NOT STARTED
Estimated compute: 1-2 sessions of review
### 3.1 Lee reviews the merged index
### 3.2 Cross-reference against known lists
### 3.3 Output: termindex-v1.0.json
term, abbreviation, category, canonical_definition
---
## Phase 4: Deposit and Surface
Status: NOT STARTED
### 4.1 Deposit to Zenodo
### 4.2 Surface deployment
### 4.3 Versioning protocol
---
## Phase 5: MPAI Generation (optional, high-value)
Status: NOT STARTED
### 5.1 For each high-priority term, generate an MPAI kernel
### 5.2 Batch deposit MPAIs

## Session Log
Session 1 (16 June 2026): Work plan created. Phase 1.1 complete (845 records pulled). Phase 1.2 complete (1,524 terms extracted with count>=2; 5,951 total unique keywords). Phase 1.3 (canonicalization and categorization) ready for next session or human review. Key finding: the archive has 6,256 keyword instances across 845 records, with the top terms being Crimson Hexagonal Archive (439), semantic economy (267), Crimson hexagon (248), distributed epic (154), NH-OS (149), operative semiotics (124), training layer literature (121). The API paginates at max size=25, requiring 34 pages. The metadata-raw and metadata-terms JSON files are the continuity artifacts for the next session.
