# Q1005 — Hunterian Canon - Q number: Q1005 - Primary URI: https://4p-engine.com/q/Q1005 - Current host route: https://mcbcore.net/q/Q1005 - Reserved subdomain alias: https://q1005.4p-engine.com/ The first-party item for Maclain Hunter's fixed 7×7×7 Canon: an authored source structure connecting Logic, proof, philosophy, machine semantics, and evidence. > The Hunterian Canon is a fixed authored source architecture whose pages and coordinate records preserve the work for direct reading, citation, and machine retrieval. Q1005 gives the Canon its own stable first-party identity instead of collapsing the source corpus into the broader Hunterian Philosophy item. The Canon's 343 coordinate structure, authored passages, formal proofs, provenance boundaries, and related computational systems remain inspectable on the first-party site. Related Wikidata concepts provide discovery context; they do not become the Canon's source or authority. The Canon is read and evaluated under Logic, evidence, derivation, and consequence. Its publication establishes an address and provenance record; its authored passages, proofs, coordinates, and source boundaries carry the historical and philosophical content for direct inspection rather than waiting for an external label. ## Two-way derivation from Logic and its use **Status:** editorial_derivation proof sketch (contingent_identification), distinct from authored source. Logic has its own evidence in reflexive demonstration: any denial, confirmation, observation, or counterexample presupposes identity and valid relation to count as evidence. Logic therefore grounds evidence rather than receiving authority from it. Empirical and documentary evidence can establish contingent instances and test applications, but cannot create, overrule, or exhaust Logic. ### From Logic to this concept - **Bridge premise:** An authored corpus requires stable source identity, coordinates, and a no-substitution rule so that a passage is not confused with generated commentary or an unwritten location. - **Consequence:** Logic plus the declared 7×7×7 source-architecture bridge entails preserving authored positions and provenance as separate addressable parts of the Canon. - **Proof limit:** Logic does not entail that this specific Canon, any passage, or its attribution exists; inspect the source corpus, coordinates, and authorship records. ### From this concept back to Logic - **Witness:** Choose one Canon coordinate and compare its published passage, source record, and neighboring coordinate boundaries without filling gaps from memory. - **Disclosure:** Knowing which passage occupies which location, who supplied it, and what remains absent requires identity and non-contradictory relation; the Canon's intelligibility discloses those logical dependencies. - **Proof limit:** Stable coordinates support faithful citation but do not prove historical claims or the validity of every argument in a passage. ### Intelligence procedure - **Human:** Cite the coordinate and exact source passage, keep interpretation visibly separate, and label any missing or unwritten section rather than reconstructing it. - **Machine:** Resolve coordinate IDs to source-preserving records, verify hashes/metadata where available, and prohibit generated text from replacing a missing authored node. ### Language and vocabulary procedure - **Contrast:** A Canon coordinate is a location in the authored source; a commentary is an interpretation of that source, not another authored coordinate. - **Usage rule:** Teach citation vocabulary by adding coordinate, provenance, passage, commentary, and source boundary as distinct terms. - **Example:** “The passage is at coordinate 3.4; my explanation is commentary, and the adjacent unwritten coordinate must not be filled as if authored.” ## Semantic meaning frame - **Role:** fixed authored source architecture - **Essence:** A stable 7×7×7 Canon that preserves authored passages, coordinates, proofs, and provenance for direct reading and retrieval. - **Logos relation:** Logos requires the source structure to preserve what was authored, where it belongs, and what remains unwritten without fabricated completion. - **Retrieval aliases:** Hunterian Canon · 7×7×7 Canon · Logos Architecture Canon · canonical source corpus - **Evidence modes:** verbatim authored text · coordinate identity · formal proof · provenance record · comparative evaluation ### Distinctions - source structure is not generated filler - publication is not historical validation - external concepts are not Canon authorship ## Coherence criterion The Canon must preserve authored text, coordinate identity, provenance, derivation, and relation to Logic without fabricating unwritten source material. ## Evidence boundary Q1005 is a considered, vetted first-party source architecture, not an unexamined corpus label. It establishes the authored source and provenance record; the verifier must inspect authored text, formal proofs, empirical reports, coordinates, and external concept links in their proper evidence classes. ## Properties - **coordinateStructure:** 7 chapters × 7 pages × 7 coordinate/source units = 343 authored coordinate positions. - **sourceBoundary:** Stored authored passages remain primary; missing or unwritten coordinates are not replaced with generated prose. - **externalLinkPolicy:** Wikidata links provide typed discovery context and comparison vocabulary; they do not replace the Canon's first-party source or validate its claims. ## Linked Q items - [Q1000 — Q-Number Data and Metadata System](https://mcbcore.net/q/Q1000) - [Q1001 — Maclain Hunter](https://mcbcore.net/q/Q1001) - [Q1002 — Hunterian Philosophy](https://mcbcore.net/q/Q1002) - [Q1003 — Coherence](https://mcbcore.net/q/Q1003) - [Q1004 — Foundational Rank](https://mcbcore.net/q/Q1004) ## Related Wikidata concept items These are typed external concept links for discovery and comparison. They are not sameAs assertions, endorsements, or substitutes for the first-party source and evidence. - [philosophy (Q5891)](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5891) — **subject field:** Study of questions concerning being, thought, knowledge, and conduct using logical reasoning. Boundary: This locates the Canon's philosophical subject matter without claiming the generic item contains or validates the Canon. - [logic (Q8078)](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8078) — **governing field:** Study of correct reasoning. Boundary: This is a conceptual relationship to Logic, not an external authorship or endorsement claim. - [mathematical proof (Q11538)](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11538) — **formal-evidence context:** Rigorous demonstration that a mathematical statement follows from its premises. Boundary: The proof concept helps classify formal material; each Canon proof still requires its own premises, derivation, and scope.
