Canon Map
The Canon Map shows how the Liberation texts fit together. Its purpose is navigation: helping readers understand what each document does, where to begin, and which text answers which question.
The Framework Stack
Liberation is best understood as a layered architecture. Each layer performs a different function.
1. The Declaration of Liberation (TDL)
Moral and civic opening.
Opens the project’s public horizon. It is contextual and inspirational, not a binding legal instrument.
2. The Liberation Codex (TLC)
Philosophical foundation and institutional diagnosis.
Explains the truth-to-flourishing chain and identifies why modern systems fail: secrecy, capture, selective enforcement, false finality, and uncorrected error.
3. The Global Liberation Constitution (TGLC)
Constitutional operating system.
Defines rights, duties, public meaning, PRAS, digital rights, anti-capture mechanisms, federation logic, and baseline rules for synthetic systems.
4. The Liberation-Aligned Justice System (TLAJS)
Justice engine.
Provides classification, review, sentencing logic, victim repair, elite criminality doctrine, synthetic systems doctrine, judicial integrity, fiscal sufficiency, and inter-jurisdictional cooperation.
5. The Liberation Constitutional Companion (TLCC)
Public legibility layer.
Makes the constitutional framework understandable for ordinary readers, institutions, civic groups, and pilot communities.
6. Applied Texts
Method in practice.
Demonstrate adversarial scrutiny, public accountability, evidentiary review, and the practical use of Liberation principles on contested public questions.

Recommended Reading Path
For New Readers
Start with Start Here, then read The Framework, then return to this map.
For Civic / Institutional Readers
Read the Framework, then the Adoption Roadmap, then LPAS. Those three pages explain what the system is, how it can be piloted, and how policy should be tested.
For Technical Readers
Focus on PRAS, auditability, correctability, synthetic-systems constraints, and the policy packet requirements in LPAS.
