Consilience v3: Canonical-Coverage Gradient — Verification Artifacts and Source

Version 3.1 (2026-05-01) — Metadata correction. The Competing-interests declaration in the manuscript end-matter (§X.4 of Manuscript_Submission.md) was rewritten to fully disclose the consulting and equity relationship between the author and  AlignRight.AI, Inc. under a Consulting, Development & SAFE Agreement (executed 2026) and accompanying Common Sense Agreement. The corrected disclosure adds the SAFE-based equity position and ongoing consulting/IP-licensing payments; corrects the  regulatory-status language for the PORS v.2 SaMD multicenter clinical investigation (in regulatory preparation, IRB protocol being finalised, submissions planned but not yet completed); correctly distinguishes PORS v.2 (the AlignRight diagnostic-service  software) from the PosturOral family of intraoral medical devices that PORS prescribes and validates; and reframes the Consilience–AlignRight chronology — Consilience predates the AlignRight engagement and was prompted in part by prior intellectual exchange  about orthodontic and orofacial topics. All scientific content, parameters, and §6–§8 numerical results are unchanged from v3.0. See `CHANGELOG_v3.1.md` at the deposit root for the full diff. The v3.0 record (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19949145) remains permanently   available for historical record.This deposit contains the verification artifacts for "The Canonical-Coverage Gradient: A Pre-Registered Adversarial Multi-Agent Measurement of Rescue-Domain Coverage Across Biomedical Textbook Canons" (Dalmonte, 2026, submitted to Quantitative Science Studies).

Two categories are deliberately NOT redistributed:

(i) CKP textbook bibliography packages. The source textbooks are under publisher copyright and cannot be redistributed. The redistributable derivative — the per-corpus PMID list — is included. Reviewers can independently extract the same citation lists from the published textbooks (legal personal copies required); the §7 corpus-level results reproduce from those PMID lists plus the frozen-parameters file.

(ii) Consilience implementation source code (C# / .NET 10). The architecture is the subject of two USPTO provisional patent applications (Nos. 64/037,324 filed April 13, 2026 and 64/048,177 filed April 24, 2026) with PCT international filing planned before the April 13, 2027 priority deadline. The §3–§4 architectural specification in the manuscript is the authorized public disclosure level. Source-code access for editorial review or scientific replication may be requested from the author under non-disclosure terms.

PubMed abstracts referenced via PMID are not redistributed (NLM licensing); reviewers fetch them via the public NCBI E-utilities API.
