Citation

This page provides guidance for citing Length–Mass Reduction materials.

LMR is an ordered framework. Definitions and notation should be cited from the paper or document in which they are formally established.

Citation Rule​

Cite the most authoritative source available.

In order of authority:

  1. Published paper
  2. Formal manuscript version
  3. Supplement
  4. Working note
  5. Concept page or diagram page

Concept pages and diagram pages are navigation aids. They should not be cited as primary authority when a paper establishes the relevant definition.

Published Papers​

Published papers should be cited by DOI or official publication record.

Paper I — Codex and Foundational Grammar​

Status: Published Paper
Role: Foundational codex authority
Citation: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18112473

Paper II — Lattice, Perturbation, and Persistence​

Status: Published Paper
Role: Foundational structural authority
Citation: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18178159

Paper III — Emergence and Structure​

Status: Published Paper
Role: Structural classification authority
Citation: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19442810

Manuscripts In Preparation​

Papers IV and V are not public release documents yet. Public citation details will be added after release.

Paper IV — Electromagnetic Routing and Projection​

Status: In preparation
Role: Projection authority

Paper V — Persistence, Inflow, and Gravitational Routing​

Status: In preparation
Role: Normalization authority

Supplements​

Supplements should be cited only as interpretive or diagrammatic support.

They do not govern the foundational papers.

S1 — Routing Modes​

Role: Routing interpretation support
Related paper: Paper III — Emergence and Structure
Citation: /pdfs/lmr_s1_routing_modes_v0.1.pdf

S2 — Hourglass Walkthrough​

Role: The supplement S2 provides diagrammatic support for the Hourglass Grammar but does not modify the foundational paper sequence.

Internal Frontier Material​

Working notes and frontier material are maintained internally until selected material is prepared for public release.

They should not be cited as codex authority.

Position Papers​

Position papers should be cited as framing material.

They do not govern the foundational papers.

Position Paper 0 — What LMR Is​

Status: Position Note
Citation: /pdfs/lmr_position_paper_0_what_lmr_is_v0.1.pdf

Position Paper 1 — The Three-Tier Discipline​

Status: Position Note
Citation: /pdfs/lmr_position_paper_1_three_tier_discipline_v0.1.pdf

Position Paper 2 — Mass Is Inverse Length​

Status: Position Note
Citation: Coming soon

Position Paper 3 — Kilogram Redundancy​

Status: Position Note
Citation: Coming soon

Position Paper 4 — Hourglass Architecture​

Status: Position Note
Citation: Coming soon

Version Guidance​

When citing unpublished or developing material, include:

  • title
  • version number if available
  • date accessed or date issued
  • document status
  • URL or repository path if public

Citation Warning​

Do not cite a working note as though it governs Arc 1.

Do not cite a supplement as though it overrides a paper.

Do not cite a concept page when the corresponding paper is the actual source of the definition.

Suggested Language​

For foundational claims:

In the LMR foundational sequence, Paper I establishes the notation and codex grammar governing subsequent papers.
