+
+## uet-history public skeleton update
+
+Area: `theory-history`
+Paths: `uet_history/`, `WORK_LEDGER/2026/2026-07-08.md`
+Work: replace old public `uet_history` structure with a curated public skeleton that reflects the current raw -> digest -> publish workflow.
+Verification: scoped file inventory; raw/media/development folders excluded from public update.
+Public-safety: `partial`
+Commit status: PR planned
+Next action: merge curated skeleton, then promote selected digest/publish content in smaller reviewed batches.
+
+Notes:
+- Do not publish `1_raw/`, `_archive/`, `Dev_history/`, nested `1_raw/`, ZIP, video, audio, PDF, or large media assets in this batch.
+- Legacy public paths are retired from `main` as active organization, but remain recoverable through Git history.

+# Layer 2: Digest
+
+`2_digest/` is the public-safe summary layer for UET history material.
+
+Digest files should summarize or organize raw sources without publishing the raw
+sources themselves. Every digest should keep claim wording conservative and make
+source/provenance boundaries clear.
+
+Current scaffold:
+
+```text
+2_digest/
+  _index.json
+```
+
+Future digests may be organized by discipline, theme, or source package once the
+underlying raw material has been reviewed.

+# UET History Pipeline
+
+The UET history workspace uses a three-layer pipeline.
+
+```text
+1_raw      -> 2_digest      -> 3_publish
+local only    public-safe       public-facing
+```
+
+## Layer 1: Raw
+
+Raw inputs include AI conversations, personal notes, transcripts, external
+sources, media, old project snapshots, and unreviewed drafts.
+
+Raw content is local-first and is not committed to the public repository unless
+it has been reviewed for size, privacy, provenance, and publication safety.
+
+## Layer 2: Digest
+
+`2_digest/` contains summaries, indexes, evidence notes, and structured digests
+that can point back to raw sources without publishing the raw sources themselves.
+
+Digest outputs should be factual, source-aware, and conservative about claims.
+
+## Layer 3: Publish
+
+`3_publish/` contains public-facing narrative work such as book outlines,
+chapter drafts, article drafts, web-ready summaries, and proposal-ready text.
+
+Publish outputs should not claim more than the digest/source chain supports.
+
+## Public Repository Rule
+
+The public repository may include digest and publish layers. Raw folders stay
+out unless a separate review explicitly approves a small, safe source file.

+# UET History Public Manifest
+
+**Updated:** 2026-07-08
+**Purpose:** Replace the old public `uet_history` tree with a curated structure
+that reflects the current local workflow without publishing raw folders.
+
+## Included In This Public Update
+
+| Path | Status | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `uet_history/README.md` | included | Public orientation for the current history workspace. |
+| `uet_history/PIPELINE.md` | included | Raw -> digest -> publish workflow boundary. |
+| `uet_history/STATUS_REPORT.md` | included | Current public status summary. |
+| `uet_history/2_digest/README.md` | included | Digest-layer orientation. |
+| `uet_history/2_digest/_index.json` | included | Empty digest registry scaffold. |
+| `uet_history/3_publish/README.md` | included | Publish-layer orientation. |
+| `uet_history/3_publish/books/README.md` | included | Book workspace orientation. |
+| `uet_history/3_publish/books/00_uet_core_theory/README.md` | included | Core UET theory book placeholder. |
+| `uet_history/3_publish/books/origin_of_wealth_and_economics/README.md` | included | Economics/book project placeholder. |
+
+## Excluded From This Public Update
+
+| Local area | Reason |
+| --- | --- |
+| `uet_history/1_raw/` | Raw conversations, notes, transcripts, and source dumps need privacy and provenance review before publication. |
+| `uet_history/_archive/` | Local archive and recovery material; not a current public source tree. |
+| `uet_history/Dev_history/` | Contains raw development snapshots, ZIPs, videos, and large historical assets. |
+| nested `1_raw/` folders inside `3_publish/` | Draft input material; not yet reviewed as public-safe. |
+| media/audio/video/PDF/ZIP files | Large or potentially private assets; should be handled by a separate asset plan. |
+
+## Legacy Paths Retired From Main
+
+The older public paths below are removed from the current `main` tree in this
+update because they represented a mixed legacy archive rather than the current
+curated workflow:
+
+- `uet_history/documents/`
+- `uet_history/equations/`
+- `uet_history/media/`
+- `uet_history/obsolete/`
+- `uet_history/research/`
+- `uet_history/theory/`
+
+This does not mean the historical material is erased from Git history. It means
+those paths are no longer the active public organization model.

-# UET Theory & History Management
+# UET History
 
-This directory contains the core theoretical components and development history of the Unified Excitable Theory (UET).
+`uet_history/` is the curated public history workspace for UET theory notes,
+book-development material, digests, and publishable narrative work.
 
-## 🏛️ Theory Repository (`theory/`)
-Theoretical content is organized by domain. This folder contains only the **pure conceptual frameworks** and axiomatic definitions.
-- **`00_foundation`**: Ontological basics, core axioms, and existence frameworks.
-- **`01_physics`**: Laws of Thermodynamics, Energy, Field equations, and Physical dynamics.
-- **`02_psychology`**: Mind, Perception, Frame of Reference, and Epistemology.
-- **... (03-10)**: Ethics, Law, Politics, Economics, Technology, Organization, Future.
+This folder no longer exposes the old legacy tree (`documents/`, `equations/`,
+`media/`, `obsolete/`, `research/`, `theory/`) as the current public structure.
+Those older paths were useful during recovery, but they mixed raw notes, media,
+experiments, and historical drafts in a way that made the repository hard to
+read.
 
-## 🕰️ Consolidated Archives (`archives/`)
-Historical backups and large data collections are merged here to minimize clutter.
-- **`backups/`**: Zipped snapshots of various development stages (e.g., `v0.8.6.zip`).
-- **`data_collections/`**: Dated subdirectories containing raw research data and previous environment states.

-Contains research topics, validation reports, data audits, and logic logs.
-- **Structure**: `research/[YYYY-MM]/` (e.g., `2026-01/`)
+Raw folders and private/local source material are not committed here by default.
+That includes chat exports, transcript dumps, large media, audio, PDFs, ZIPs,

-### ➗ Equation Archive (`equations/`)
-Contains technical specifications, parameter iterations, and formula development logs.
-- **Structure**: `equations/[YYYY-MM]/` (e.g., `2026-01/`)
+Excluded local areas include:
+
+- `uet_history/1_raw/`
