assumptions-registry

An Assumptions Registry per IFP-22, operated by Peter Kaminski: codes of conduct, professional ethics, philosophies, religious rules of life, jurisdiction facts, and shared vocabularies, published as versioned, immutable, content-addressed entries that IFP-21 declarations cite.

Machine-readable: llms.txt (start here if you're an agent) · index.json · descriptor · curation policy · terms

This registry is deliberately ecumenical — a broad shelf across traditions, hosted without endorsement. Citing an entry at acknowledges is not agreement, and shelving one is not sermon. See the policy page.

This is a registry, not the registry. IFP-22 is the standard; this is one shelf built to it, and being first does not make it authoritative. If you would draw the line elsewhere, that is a reason to run your own, not to argue with this one — the tooling is MIT, there is no server, and entries anywhere are cited the same way. Fork it, and tell us so we can link to yours.
