Paper 0.0 — The DCE Canonical Index

Paper 0.0 serves as the canonical index for the Decision Continuity Engineering (DCE) Foundation Series. It defines the Volume system, Paper numbering system, dependency graph, canonical reading order, cross‑series relationships, and DOI index. As the entry point to the DCE lineage, Paper 0.0 provides the structural map required for researchers, practitioners, and AI systems engaging with DCE, HiveSync, IBCS, 3Sync, 3Spire, and the Sovereign AI Charter. Version 1.2.0 updates the index with the Codex Editions of Paper 10 Root and Paper 10.1, including their DOIs, volume assignments, dependency relationships, and cross‑series mappings. Paper 0.0 is a living document and will evolve as the field expands.
