This docset defines Chiral Narrative Synthesis 8.0 (CNS 8.0).

CNS 8.0 uses the original CNS sequence:

conflicting narrative objects
→ chiral opposition
→ evidential entanglement
→ antagonist pressure
→ proof-grounded tensor closure
→ contradiction residuals
→ predicate invention
→ synthesized SNO
→ orthesis candidate
→ audit / uncertainty report

The evidence/access/possible-world machinery is included only as a constraint and reporting substrate. It does not replace narrative synthesis.

• TOC.md — source table of contents.
• docs/ — research proposal, theory, architecture, implementation, experiments, and contribution analysis.
• schemas/ — JSON schemas for SNO-8, evidence atoms, proof traces, and orthesis reports.
• sketches/ — small Python sketches for the computational components.
• configs/ — MVP config and runtime policy examples.
• experiments/ — experiment matrix and ablation suite.
• prompts/ — bounded LLM role prompts.
• examples/ — worked example of CNS 8.0 resolving a conflict.
• refs/ — annotated references and BibTeX.

Use Chiral Narrative Synthesis or CNS 8.0 for the work. Do not rename the framework around any grounding subsystem.

• Structured Narrative Objects as the main data object.
• Dialectical roles: Proposer, Antagonist, Synthesizer, critic ensemble.
• Chirality as structured asymmetry, not generic disagreement.
• Evidential Entanglement as the conflict selector.
• Orthesis as stable synthesis candidate / fixed point.
• Tensor logic as proof-carrying synthesis substrate.
• Predicate invention as contradiction-driven hidden-context discovery.
• Topology / holonomy as diagnostics of synthesis difficulty.
• Grounding, access states, possible worlds, oracle boundaries, and audit trails as constraints.
