## What this study is

An empirical study of meaning-composition in the Arabic tongue, built on the foundation of seven independent letter-semantics scholars and extended with new structural findings. The study's core results are the universal dual-face structure of letter charges, a 12-mode operative grammar for trilateral composition, a four-bar verification rubric for cross-linguistic Quranic cognates, and a complete 453-nucleus catalog.

## Reading order

If you have time for **one file**, read [`02-architecture/our-contributions-and-roadmap.md`](02-architecture/our-contributions-and-roadmap.md). It is the shareable position paper.

If you have time for **two**, add [`02-architecture/lv2-operative-grammar.md`](02-architecture/lv2-operative-grammar.md) for the operative grammar of trilateral composition.

For the **full picture**, read in folder order: 01 → 02 → 03 → 04.

## Conventions

- **Folder numbering** (`01-`, `02-`, …) reflects the natural reading order.
- **Filename language suffix:** `*-ar.md` means the document is written in Arabic; otherwise English.
- **Lowercase, hyphenated filenames** for shell-safe paths.
- **One canonical document per topic.** Where a derived companion exists, it cross-links to the canonical and declares its lower priority.
