# AEDA Research Handoff Package

Canonical research for the Autonomous Enterprise Decision Architecture (AEDA), a ten-layer
reference architecture evolving DoD BEA / DoDAF DM2 from documentation into a computational
decision stack. Built June 2026.

## Start here
1. `CODEX_HANDOFF.md` - commit instructions for the DCIO repo and the BEA AI Brain upgrade backlog.
2. `canonical_package/AEDA_Canonical_Package.md` - the canonical project memory (~39,500 words, 16 figures).

## Contents
- `canonical_package/` - the canonical package in md, qmd, docx, pdf, plus the adversarial verification notes.
- `lit_reviews/` - the 11 AEDA-track literature reviews (LR01..LR11) with plain-text extractions in `corpus_text/`.
- `figures/` - the 16 chart PNGs embedded in the package.
- `space_ontologies/` - Rovetto space ontology PDFs (space-domain seed).
- `scripts/` - the multi-agent workflow (`aeda_workflow.js`), the corpus extractor, and the assembly script.
- `provenance/` - earlier thin drafts (v1, v3) retained for audit.
- `related_dcio/` - the DCIO BEA interrogation white paper (related prototype track).

## Corpus note
Two complementary corpora: the 23 GAO-anchored DCIO BEA reviews (in the DCIO repo at RESEARCH/Lit Reviews/)
and the 11 AEDA-track theoretical reviews (here). The ten "layers" are the ten processing layers between
the Data Sources input boundary and the Executive Support consumer interface.
