Curating "Growth": Paradigm Innovation and Critical Scrutiny of the Caole Village "Nailong Ancient Materia Medica Field" Plant-Community Living Museum — A Document-Analysis Case Study Based on Public Materials

This preprint is a document-analysis case study of the public Caole Village "Nailong Ancient Materia Medica Field" plant-community living museum (https://doorm.ai/museum/caole/). It reconstructs the growth-oriented curation (GOC) paradigm as presented in public materials—ternary ecological niche / temporal rhythm / community structure profiles, an evidence-chain knowledge graph with conflict coexistence, and a grid-level desensitized Decide interface—and critically inventories evidence gaps plus institutional tensions among exhibition, research, and production under local Daozhen materia-medica industry context. The paper provides a coding frame, testable propositions, and an evaluation roadmap. No measured conservation effects, survival rates, hit rates, or AUC numbers are claimed. Chinese and English full texts are deposited with matching section numbering (Sections 1–9 and Appendices A–D). A small checklist helper (caole_doc_ref.py) is included; it contains no filled result tables. Version DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.23411315.
