From 5a7813b6488f7568f0379afedfe0d73996c85634 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arkadiy Miteiko Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 22:11:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] CAT-ALIGN-001: state OIC's role in Open Institutional Computation Add a category role section near the top of the README naming the field, the upstream institutional-compilation problem OIC addresses, and the boundary that institutional authority remains externally constituted: machine extraction may propose meaning, and authorized institutional admission is required before meaning is admitted. OIC operates upstream of VEIP and runtime enforcement. The section states an architectural role, not a capability. It says so explicitly and defers to README status text, STATUS.md, CLAIMS.md and the capability matrix for the exact demonstrated scope. No status, ceiling, exclusion, benchmark figure, validation history or measured evidence is modified. Documentation only, additive.
