Magnus Hedemarkandfactory-droid[bot] <138933559+factory-droid[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> 2c78dfcca3 feat(semantic-spacetime): add format-compliant M1 skill core
Add the semantic-spacetime skill skeleton: a thin SKILL.md router with
triggers/anti-triggers, Load By Need, Quick Start, Related Skills, gotchas,
and exit conditions; a human-facing README; MIT license; deep
provenance-marked theory references (foundations, glossary, bibliography);
the versioned sst-model-v1 template pair; a 6-case schema-v1 eval manifest;
the root README catalog entry; regenerated marketplace and llms artifacts;
and the skill-triggers row.

Bibliography — Primary Sources for Semantic Spacetime

Load this file when you need to find or verify a source — which paper says X, or where a claim in foundations.md or glossary.md comes from. Every entry below carries a URL that was checked for reachability during the research phase (2026-08-12); the [VERIFIED]/[UNVERIFIED] markers describe the source's verification level as used in foundations.md. No entry here is fabricated: each appears in the research corpus's source lists. For the promise-theory substrate sources, cross-reference the promise-theory skill's own bibliography.


1. The Semantic Spacetime series (Burgess)

  • Burgess, M. Spacetimes with Semantics (2014). arXiv:1411.5563 [cs.MA]. Part I: "From Einstein to Milner." Defines the agenda: relationships between objects constitute space; their change is time; observer semantics are integral to spacetime. [VERIFIED] URL: https://arxiv.org/abs/1411.5563
  • Burgess, M. Spacetimes with Semantics (II): Scaling of agency, semantics, and tenancy (2015). arXiv:1505.01716 [cs.MA]. Part II: how agency scales via super-agents/sub-spaces; scalar vs. vector promises; occupancy and tenancy. [VERIFIED] URL: https://arxiv.org/abs/1505.01716
  • Burgess, M. Spacetimes with Semantics (III): The Structure of Functional Knowledge Representation and Artificial Reasoning (2016, rev. 2017). arXiv:1608.02193 [cs.AI]. Part III (122 pages), the most formal document: Definitions 1-9, Lemmas 1-3, the four irreducible associations, the learning/knowledge formalism.

  • Burgess, M. A Spacetime Approach to Generalized Cognitive Reasoning in Multi-scale Learning (2017). arXiv:1702.04638 [cs.AI]. A hybrid reasoning/pattern-recognition architecture as the ML instantiation of SST reasoning. [VERIFIED] URL: https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.04638

Testing the Quantitative Spacetime Hypothesis using Artificial Narrative Comprehension (I): Bootstrapping Meaning from Episodic Narrative viewed as a Feature Landscape (2020). arXiv:2010.08126 [cs.AI]. SST's empirical arm: parsing narrative via measurable size/time cues as an event "landscape"/interferometry; concepts as process invariants. [VERIFIED] URL: https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.08126
  • Burgess, M. Testing the Quantitative Spacetime Hypothesis using Artificial Narrative Comprehension (II): Establishing the Geometry of Invariant Concepts, Themes, and Namespaces (2020). arXiv:2010.08125 [cs.AI].
