The Fold Framework: Parallel-Chain Provenance, a Single-Writer Evidence Spine, and Licensing-Based Commercialization Without Surrendering Independence — An Individual Assessment

This r10-public forward correction updates the published r9 individual assessment without rewriting itsfrozen record. It reports a hash-scoped 8 August 2026 run of 1,329 scripted regression checks acrosseight wrapper demonstrations, corrects the second domain to version control, and identifies the 7:1wrapper split as an authored classification rather than an empirical discovery. The formal claim islimited to an abstract unary-prefix lemma checked with Lean and Z3; no implementation-refinement proofis present in the audited formal inventory, which also records a substantive model/implementationmismatch. Confidentiality, novelty, timestamp, patentability, andfreedom-to-operate language is correspondingly bounded. The thesis remains an AI-assisted,single-operator individual assessment, not peer review, external certification, or an independenceclaim. Published r9 remains unchanged; r10-public supersedes it semantically only for the corrected claims.
