+# Civicus Foundation Package (Markdown Edition)
+
+This archive contains a **detailed, publication-ready** reconstruction of the Civicus cornerstone,
+including the three evidence pillars and the required **LLM loop** (Claim → LLM → Context → LLM → Civic Consequence).
+
+It is designed for:
+
+* Immediate publication (website / GitHub / Docs)
+* Iteration by Civic Analysts
+* Auditable transparency (append your full chat transcript to `10_Appendix_Conversation.md`)
+
+---
+
+## Included Files
+
+1. `01_Preamble_Civicus.md` — Mission and identity of Civicus.
+2. `02_Chapter_One_Case_for_Civic_Analysis.md` — The cornerstone argument tying the three pillars.
+3. `03_Evidence_Afghanistan_Governance_and_Earthquake.md` — Deep dive: civic capacity and governance.
+4. `04_Evidence_Jan6_Records_and_Immutability.md` — Deep dive: authenticity, WORM/immutable storage, reforms.
+5. `05_Evidence_Journalism_Ivory_Tower_and_Kirk.md` — Deep dive: elite incentives, title-framing, outsider ascent.
+6. `06_Method_Civic_Analyst_LLM_Loop.md` — What “sanitizing” means; process standard and publication rules.
+7. `07_Code_of_Conduct.md` — Ethics, conflicts of interest, disclosure rules, and the principle of one-shot immutable publication.
+8. `08_Templates_and_AI_Workflow.md` — Guide for structuring analyses with AI: how to upload files, run first-pass context reviews, conduct second-pass refinements one issue at a time, preserve full conversations, and enforce the “single chance” publication standard.
+9. `09_Licensing_Versioning_and_Attribution.md` — Authorship, pen names, DNS/Web3 bridging, citation rules, version control, and preservation.
+10. `10_Appendix_Conversation.md` — Place to paste the complete human↔LLM transcript for this work.
+11. `11_Principle_Closed_Records.md` — Defines how Civic Analysts handle the records of deceased figures: treating evidence as immutable, emphasizing framing integrity, resisting exploitation of legacy, and codifying the ethical duty to preserve historical truth.

+
+## Closed Records & Immutable Evidence
+
+This work proceeds with the recognition that **Charlie Kirk is no longer alive.**
+
+As such, his **record is closed**: no new actions, statements, or clarifications will enter the body of evidence.
+A Civic Analyst must therefore emphasize:
+
+* **Immutability of Evidence** — Kirk’s contributions to society are now finite, forming a fixed record.
+* **Framing Integrity** — because he cannot defend himself, how evidence is presented becomes paramount.
+* **Resistance to Exploitation** — the BBC article itself demonstrates how legacy can be shaped or distorted after the fact, often with the motive of rewriting history.
+
+This principle extends beyond this case: whenever analyzing figures who are deceased, Civic Analysts must foreground the ethical weight of interpretation, ensuring transparency, fair use, and fidelity to the record.
+

+
+## Note on Sources
+
+Where possible, this package integrates and expands excerpts uploaded in earlier drafts and conversations.
+Those inputs have been incorporated into the narrative and can be further refined by future Civic Analysts.
+
+---
+
+## Closing Declaration
+
+This package is published as a **single civic artifact**.
+It will not be revised. Any future improvement must come through new analyses by other Civic Analysts, who may reference or build upon this work.
