Abstract

This document provides a program-level registry for a body of work collectively referred to as the Anti-Ruin Program. It introduces no new theoretical results, methods,or systems. Its purpose is to document scope, structure, and published components,and to offer a stable navigational reference for readers encountering individual papersin isolation. All work listed here is governed by the methodological and interpretiveconstraints articulated in Responsibility, Constraints, and Incremental Release in theStudy of Variance-Regulated Systems, which serves as the authoritative orientation document for the program. The present paper defers to that work on questions of scope, non-claims, release strategy, and responsibility. The Anti-Ruin Program is concernedwith understanding irreversible failure modes, loss, and stability in complex adaptivesystems across multiple domains. This document organizes prior and ongoing workinto descriptive categories, clarifies the non-goals of the program, and emphasizes incremental development and revisability. It is intended as an index and context-settingreference rather than a synthesis or manifesto. This document does not define objectives, milestones, or outcomes for the program.
