Type A: Data and Materials

Appendix Index

Type A appendices cover data and technical materials that support the thesis’s artefact chapters. Each module is registered by stem identifier, file reference, and semantic topic. Registration entries are maintained as the authoritative cross-reference for locating governed data within the appendix corpus.

Interactive HTML artefacts

Interactive HTML artefacts complement the static figures and data appendices with browser-based exploration surfaces. Each entry below is a labelled inventory record giving the artefact’s chapter binding, its location (or planned location) within the deposited thesis, the SHA-256 integrity hash where the artefact has been intaken, and the static-image fallback to which the figure callout resolves when an examiner reads the printed thesis. The reproducibility chain for these artefacts is governed by the intaken-prototypes manifest for intaken prototypes and by the unified figures index for fully promoted artefacts.

SDA standards explorer

  • Title: Stage 4 unified-dataset SDA standards explorer (v1.2, W6.1 extended).
  • Chapter binding: supports Ch5 (the standardisation schema — Standards Decomposition Analysis).
  • Path: publish-data/appendix-data/ch5-artefact-bundle/explorer/sda-standards-explorer.html.
  • SHA-256: in-place artefact; integrity tracked through the Ch5 artefact-bundle build manifest rather than the intaken-prototypes manifest.
  • Static-image fallback: fig-ch5-sda-coverage-overview.svg (renders the corpus-wide coverage snapshot the explorer surfaces interactively).
  • v1.2 affordances (W6.1): six tabs — Graph, Elements, Clauses, Analysis, Residual ledger (per-primitive residual entries with residual_flag, rationale, and disposition pathway sourced from appendix-data-standards-serialisation-schema and appendix-data-recpol-specification; 91 derived entries across five disposition pathways — lexical_polysemy, fallback_element, role_other, force_mixed, structural_unlinked), and Audit trail (per record_uid records with the five-layer governance-audit-layer fields per the SDA serialisation schema; 189 figure-channel records). Per-term enumeration of the 54 fallback-to-element residual cohort and the text-channel record_uid rows are recorded as W6.1 implementation debt pending materialisation of the primitive_assignments JSON.

Type B: Supplementary Context Essays

Supplementary Context Essay Index

Type B appendices are self-contained context essays. Each gathers the historical, standards, or theoretical background that grounds a chapter’s argument but would interrupt it if carried in the main text, and each can be read on its own. The essays are referenced from the chapters they support.

Five essays are registered below.

Text as Building Medium: Non-Graphic Construction Knowledge in Historical Practice supp-context-tmhr How buildings were specified and reconstructed from text rather than drawings — across Greek proportion systems, Japanese kiwari, and Vietnamese craft practice — grounding the floor-plan-as-text argument in Chapters 2 and 8. An accompanying citation ledger records the sources.
