Canonical model version
v1.0
Freezes the configuration of the complete public scientific model.
Canonical releases · record revisions · publication lineage
Version 1.0 is the first public canonical specification. Future adopted versions will remain accessible here with their exact wording, dates, rationale, and affected records.
First public canon
Version 1.0 establishes the public model architecture, terminology, formal pathway families, explanatory records, and revision rules. Functional and Clinical Expression is separated from the downstream Clinical Diagnosis, allowing the causal configuration that produces expression to be studied separately from the clinical and institutional processes that produce diagnostic classification.
Included in v1.0
Scientific status and boundaries
Frozen record manifest
A canonical release is reproducible only when it identifies the exact revision of every included record. This manifest covers the current definition and mechanism layer. The second-stage release will add postulate, prediction, test, study, evidence, figure, and operationalization records without changing these definitions unless a substantive scientific revision is adopted.
Version architecture
Scientific model changes, individual record revisions, publication development, and technical website releases answer different questions. Keeping them separate prevents a typographical edit from appearing to be a scientific revision and prevents a new webpage from being mistaken for a new theory version.
v1.0
Freezes the configuration of the complete public scientific model.
PT-CON-001 · r1
Identifies the exact public revision of one definition, pathway, postulate, or explanatory record.
2019, 2021, 2023, and 2026
Preserves how terminology, hypotheses, and evidence developed in publications and manuscripts.
Technical build
Tracks presentation and software changes without changing the scientific model.
Public version history
When an adopted definition or model change affects scientific meaning, the current wording will remain the default while the exact superseded wording becomes available from the relevant record and release page.
Development of the framework
Earlier works show how the framework developed, but they are not retrospectively assigned canonical website version numbers. Their original wording, figures, and claims remain citable on their own terms.
PT-PUB-001 · Preprint
Origin of the general neurodevelopmental architecture and the insult–buffering–burden logic.
PT-PUB-002 · Theory
Applied the framework to the scientific literature on autism and proposed 30 postulates to support falsifiability.
PT-PUB-003 · Commentary
Alternative-model comparison and refinement of genetic specificity and transdiagnostic predictions.
PT-PUB-004 · Extension
Placement of the framework within an evolutionary paradigm and extension of its relation to the psychosocial environment.
PT-PUB-005 · Empirical study
First direct empirical test of one prespecified PT architectural operationalization.
Revision policy
Only reviewed and adopted wording enters the public revision chain. Draft iterations remain private until adopted.
Typographical and purely presentational corrections are recorded in the technical content log but do not create a scientific record revision.
An adopted clarification that could affect interpretation creates a new record revision, with the earlier wording preserved.
Adding or materially revising a definition, boundary, pathway, or postulate creates a new record revision and is included in the next canonical release.
Splitting, merging, or retiring a construct preserves the old identifier permanently and records its successor. Identifiers are never recycled.
Version 1.0 is the first public canonical release. A comparable structural change after v1.0 requires a major-version increment.
