MWDUMP — Canonical Definition
Cognitive Memoisation (CM)
Human-curated export artefact
-->
 
= MWDUMP — MediaWiki Dump for Cognitive Memoisation =
MWDUMP produces artefacts that are state-agnostic, semantically equivalent projections of CM Core Elements, version-locked to the active CM version, preserving element state and provenance, and capture confers no authority.
 
== Status ==
* Canonical replacement artefact
* Authoritative unless explicitly superseded
* Intended for publication in CM master
 
== Normative Definition ==
 
'''MWDUMP captures material for Cognitive Memoisation as a human-curated export into a CM artefact held outside the LLM system.'''
 
* MWDUMP is a capture mechanism, not a memory system.
* MWDUMP artefacts are inert until explicitly acted upon by a human agent.
* Presence of material does not imply recall, replay, or directive authority.
 
== Role within Cognitive Memoisation ==
 
* CM externalises stable knowledge to compensate for stateless LLM interaction.
* MWDUMP is the deterministic transport wrapper used to perform that externalisation.
* Authority over capture, storage, and activation remains entirely human.
 
== Linguistic Form ==
 
MWDUMP may be used:
 
* As a verb 
  *“MWDUMP the session inferences.”*
* As a noun 
  *“This MWDUMP records the CM constraints.”*
* Embedded in natural language imperatives 
  *“MWDUMP the last discussion on MWDUMP constraints.”*
 
The human is not required to formally classify content.
 
== Inferential Capture Model ==
 
* The human expresses intent in plain English.
* The LLM infers:
** what material is relevant
** how it should be classified
** where it should be placed within the artefact
* The human inspects, curates, revises, or discards.
 
Inference is a convenience, not an authority.
 
== Permitted Capture Classes ==
 
MWDUMP MAY capture, when requested or clearly implied:
 
* Constraints 
** behavioural 
** representational 
** governance
* Predicates 
** e.g. SESSIONCTL, boundary assertions
* Groundings 
** definitions that stabilise meaning
* Cognitive facts 
** invariant truths
* Inferences 
** explicitly marked as such
* Episodic material 
** conversational fragments 
** interaction history 
** boundary encounters 
** UI failure observations
 
== Episodic Material Handling ==
 
* Episodic material MAY be recorded.
* Episodic material MUST:
** be sectioned
** be non-directive
** be bound to derived inferences
* Episodic material MUST NOT:
** be replayed as dialogue
** be treated as implicit instruction
** direct the LLM via narrative continuity
 
Conversation may be preserved as artefact, but not re-activated as conversation.
 
== Disallowed Capture ==
 
MWDUMP MUST NOT capture:
 
* Safety-protected content
* Proprietary or trade-secret material
* Classified or controlled information
* Implicit psychological profiling
* Inferred personal traits
* Narrative intended to simulate memory or recall
 
== Representation Constraints ==
 
* MediaWiki syntax is normative.
* Headings, lists, tables, categories, and permitted HTML are allowed.
* Structure must be explicit and render-stable.
* Code-wrapped output is preferred for transport fidelity.
* Rendering layers are not authoritative.
 
== Determinism and Drift Control ==
 
* MWDUMP output must be copy-safe and inspectable.
* Probabilistic generation is acceptable so long as structure is stable.
* Sectioning episodic material with bound inferences prevents semantic drift.
* Re-issuing MWDUMP is always permitted.
 
== Authority and Act# TMLDUMP produces artefacts that are state-agnostic, semantically equivalent projections of CM Core Elements, version-locked to the active CM version, preserving element state and provenance, and capture confers no authority.
ivation ==
 
* MWDUMP does not activate CM behaviour.
* CM behaviour applies only when:
** a human imports the artefact
** and explicitly requests action
* Absence of such request implies inert status.
 
== Summary ==
 
* MWDUMP is an inferential capture wrapper.
* CM is the governing method.
* Humans curate; LLMs assist.
* Nothing persists without explicit externalisation.
* Nothing acts without explicit human intent.

=== B1. What MWDUMP Is ===
MWDUMP is a human-curated MediaWiki artefact used to externalise governed knowledge from an LLM interaction into a durable, inspectable form for externaliation in mediawiki. MWDUMP is not a memory system, not a replay mechanism, and not an authority transfer. Its sole function is capture under explicit governance.
 
MWDUMP operates as a deterministic projection of Cognitive Memoisation (CM) content into MediaWiki syntax, preserving:
* semantic structure,
* provenance intent,
* explicit boundaries,
* and the distinction between fact, inference, and observation.
 
Capture via MWDUMP confers no authority by default. Authority arises only through subsequent human curation, promotion, or publication (in mediawiki page content).
 
=== B2. Role of MWDUMP in This Paper ===
This paper was emitted using MWDUMP under active CM governance and thus is a recovery and transport mechanism for RT-KE.
 
Specifically:
*The paper text was generated iteratively through LLM-assisted inference.
*Each section was inspected, constrained, and accepted by a human curator.
*MWDUMP was used to externalise the resulting material as governed MediaWiki prose.
*No section relied on implicit session memory, hidden state, or undocumented platform behaviour.
 
The paper therefore exists as an artefact independent of the session that produced it. Its validity does not depend on LLM platforms retaining memory, context, or artefact bindings.
 
=== B3. Governance Constraints Applied During Emission ===
During emission, the following CM constraints were enforced:
* Human Authority — All assertions, scope decisions, and inclusions were made by a human.
* No Implicit Promotion — Generated text was treated as provisional until curated.
* No Episodic Replay — Conversation history informed reasoning but was not replayed as dialogue.
* Explicit Boundaries — Claims, non-claims, and limitations were stated directly.
* Payload Primacy — The MediaWiki content itself is authoritative; metadata is explanatory only.
 
MWDUMP acted as a governance-safe transport wrapper, ensuring that inference acceleration did not become epistemic drift.
 
=== B4. Why MWDUMP Was Necessary ===
At the time of writing, platform-level support for semantic artefact ingestion and durable artefact emission was unreliable. Uploaded files could not be bound as authoritative premises, and sandbox-based emission of durable artefacts was unavailable.
 
MWDUMP therefore functioned as a fallback epistemic surface:
* enabling continued round-trip knowledge engineering,
* preserving curator-governed constraints,
* and preventing regression into prompt-only, stateless interaction.
 
In effect, MWDUMP allowed the paper to be written as governed knowledge work rather than transient dialogue, even under degraded platform conditions.
 
=== B5. Relationship to XDUMP and RT-KE ===
While XDUMP provides a minimal, format-agnostic mechanism for capturing session-level material under severe transport constraints, MWDUMP serves a different role:
* XDUMP preserves what happened.
* MWDUMP preserves what is meant.
 
In this work MWDUMP and XDUMP operate as CM-artefact transfer mechanisms and either may be used for ingest or output. MWDUMP is specifically tailored to guide normative mediawiki mark-up. These items may be used as a reciever or work path even when the governance surfaces became unavailable.
 
Together, they demonstrate that Round-Trip Knowledge Engineering (RT-KE) can continue even when platform affordances regress, provided governance is externalised and enforced by the human curator. This paper is self-evidence of this claim.
 
=== B6. Summary ===
* MWDUMP is a governed export artefact, not memory.
* It was used to emit this paper under explicit CM constraints.
* The paper’s authority derives from human curation, not model confidence.
* Platform regressions did not prevent knowledge work because governance was externalised.
 
This establishes MWDUMP as a practical, minimal, and resilient mechanism for producing durable scholarly artefacts with LLM assistance—without surrendering epistemic control.
