# Nova R&D Blueprint

This is the living blueprint and tracking space for Nova: identity in‑weight, safe real‑time plasticity, and neuro‑cellular autonomy. Everything here is versioned, auditable, and tied to experiments, ADRs, and evals.

- 03_research_logs — daily logs (append‑only)
- 04_decisions — ADRs (Architecture Decision Records)
- 05_experiments — experiment specs, results
- 06_metrics — identity/continuity/tool/eval metrics
- 07_risks — risks, mitigations, assumptions
- 08_evals — eval plan and gates
- 09_roadmap — phases and milestones
- 10_protocols — update protocol, tool grammar, safety caps
- 11_data — ETL manifests and data provenance
- 12_operational — runbooks and promotion/rollback
- 13_receipts — concrete receipts (JSON) for runs/turns/promotions
