tz-dev/PMS-LOGIC: PMS–LOGIC v1.2.0 - Model Addon

What's New in This Release (v1.2.0) This release advances PMS–LOGIC from a standalone theoretical paper to a fully operationalized PMS application profile. It introduces a canonical YAML addon (pms-logic.yaml), a human-readable model specification, and aligns the repository with the shared PMS artifact stack (paper + YAML + spec + examples). Responsibility, non-closure, and post-moral effects are now structurally legible, comparable, and reviewable — without introducing norms, obligations, or closure authority. New in v1.2.0 1) Introduction of pms-logic.yaml (Formal Application Profile) This release adds pms-logic.yaml, the canonical PMS application profile for PMS–LOGIC. The YAML file: depends strictly on PMS.yaml (schema_version: PMS_1.1), introduces no new operators, redefines no operator meanings or dependencies, uses overlay-level constructs only (reduced signatures, drift catalogue, constraints, scale matrices). YAML features introduced in v1.1.0 The profile formalizes the PMS–LOGIC paper through: Reduced signatures for the core tripartition: Pre-moral justification (Δ + ∇ + □ + Λ + Α), Logical boundary management (□ + Λ + Χ + Σ), Post-moral effects (Ω + Θ + Ψ). A minimal moral readability marker (Ω + Θ + Λ + Ψ) explicitly declared as non-operator. An explicit effective capacity boundary (□ + Θ): no capacity → no responsibility. A drift catalogue covering: Σ-totalization (dogmatism), Ω-inflation (authority capture), pseudo-ought injection (moralism), Λ-suppression (nihilism), □-overconstraint (technocratic reduction). Failure-mode constraints reconstructing norm-like statements as self-binding and restraint conditions, not prescriptions or "ought." Scale matrices projecting PMS–LOGIC onto derived axes (A, C, R, E, D). Counter-readings addressing predictable misinterpretations (ethics, relativism, nihilism, theology). A uniform example-suite schema for reversible, scene-bound test vectors. This turns PMS–LOGIC into a machine-legible, auditable application layer inside the PMS ecosystem. 2) Human-Readable Model Specification (HTML + PDF) This release adds a full Model Specification explaining pms-logic.yaml: operator hygiene and dependency discipline, the pre-moral / logical / post-moral tripartition, non-closure (Λ) as a structural boundary, responsibility as attributability (not obligation), drift risks and misuse firewalls, the Minimal Application Protocol (MAP). The specification makes the YAML accessible without diluting formal rigor. 3) Repository Structure Alignment The repository now follows the shared PMS application layout: PMS–LOGIC paper (Markdown / HTML / PDF), shared presentation assets (css/), formal YAML addon (pms-logic.yaml), human-readable Model Specification (HTML / PDF), an examples/ directory with five structurally uniform cases (MD + HTML). This aligns PMS–LOGIC with PMS–CRITIQUE and PMS–ANTICIPATION. Why This Release Matters This release operationalizes the paper's central claim: Responsibility is not commanded — it is what remains once praxis becomes irreversible under asymmetry. With v1.2.0: the Is–Ought boundary becomes structurally explicit, not rhetorically defended, non-closure (Λ) becomes carryable, not a defect to be fixed, moral language becomes readable as an effect, not as an operator, drift into dogma, authority, or moralism becomes predictable and nameable, restraint, distance, and self-binding become formal requirements, not virtues. PMS–LOGIC is now usable as a reviewable analytic discipline, not just a philosophical argument.

Final Release Note PMS–LOGIC v1.2.0 is most demanding exactly where philosophy often retreats: where logic wants closure, where power wants legitimacy, where morality wants to command. Its contribution is not better answers — but making non-closure, responsibility, and restraint structurally explicit, inspectable, and defensible without normativity.
