Orthemology is a proposed theory of how concrete cases get correctly classified, handled, and audited by rule-governed processes — human, institutional, or automated. It provides a precise, machine-checkable architecture that separates what was decided from how well the process ran, enabling independent auditing of both result correctness and pathway adequacy on a single structured record.Documentation Index

Introduction
Understand what Orthemology is, the problems it addresses, and its core claims.
Quickstart
Get oriented with the framework: read a worked episode, validate schemas, run the fixture suite.
Architecture Overview
A concise map of every layer — occurrences, episodes, governance, verdicts.
Core Concepts
Dive into the type–token distinction, analysis-relative ground truth, and the verdict layer.
The Two Central Ideas
Orthemology is built around two foundational insights that drive everything else in the framework.Result ≠ Pathway
An episode’s result can be correct while the process that produced it was defective — and a well-run process can still miss a rare case. These axes are independent and separately auditable.
Analysis-Relative Ground Truth
Which state-types a case truly instantiates is defined relative to a declared, versioned analysis. Ground truth is never task-only and never actor-relative.

Worked Examples
Walk through concrete episode records — a pillar verification, a stale directive, a stopped-clock validator — with full JSON fixtures.
JSON Schemas
Machine-checkable schemas for every major object: orthemma, episode, metaortheme, verdict record, claim ledger.
Verdict Registry
The normative registry of all verdict semantic IDs (V1–V6) and their display aliases. Authoritative in all machine records.
Experiments
Two preregistered experimental packets — episode reification and false-closure prediction — ready to run but not yet run.
