What's changed in Meaning Layer.

Every published change to this brand book. Includes voice rule edits, spec releases, and resolved voice notes. The audit trail behind a living brand.

  1. voice

    Sweep vn_mtew1o19, vn_mtew1obf, vn_mtewus8k, vn_mtex29d9: Jungian essay register adopted alongside the plain register; aphorism turns and em dashes banned; Warburg line retired from the vocabulary table. Weimar frame removed brand-wide the same day.

  2. spec

    v0.1 (August 2026). First registration on the Workhorse token system. Every value is TRANSCRIBED from the project's own doctrine in the meaning-layer repo (docs/brand/THESIS.md, IDENTITY.md, VOICE.md, DESIGN-SYSTEM.md, packages/grammar/src/brand.css and theme-meaning.css), including the 2026-08 amendments that admit the classroom as an instrument surface. Nothing is authored here. The repo remains the source of truth for the grammar; this registration is what makes the system legible to agents and teammates working outside it.
