StayVS --- Stabilizing Versioning System
################################################################################

StayVS is the system used across Balospe.com to track how mature and
well-checked any piece of content is. Every page on this site carries a
**content stability** indicator in its footer that tells you at a glance
how much confidence to place in what you are reading.

LLoL has been developing and using StayVS internally since about 2017,
and it has much matured since. This page here is a brief reminder to 
say that eventually a more adequate introduction ought to follow here. 

In a nutshell, StayVS is a self-stabilizing versioning system designed to 
end the world's mis-information problems by fighting time-travling errors in versioning spaces. 
A self-stabilizing versioning system is essential for self-stabilizing innovation processes. 
It also turns out that organizing for proper Jubilee-based innovation is as good as impossible
without an agreed-upon reliable self-stabilizing versioning system that supports Jubilees natively. 

StayVS distinguishes seven stages through their double-letter stability codes to offer transparency at a glance.

As the mathematical theology of the Jubilee system grows in maturity, so must StayVS
in order to support the  related 7 stages distinguishable in any general innovation system.

Why does this matter?
=====================

This site covers ambitious, interconnected topics. Some pages are
well-established; others are early drafts or experimental explorations.
StayVS makes this transparent so you can calibrate your reading
accordingly:

- A page marked **MM** is a first draft --- the idea exists but is untested.
- A page marked **NN** is in death valley --- it needs resources to reach viability.
- A page marked **OO** is a minimum viable product --- it works, but oddly.
- ...
- A page marked **SS** has been stabilized through broad global review.


The StayC lifecycle
===================

StayC (Stability Codes) track a page's maturity through seven stages:

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1
   :widths: 8 22 70

   * - Code
     - Name
     - Meaning
   * - **MM**
     - MockupModel
     - Idea exists informally as back-of-envelope reasoning or verbal
       sketch. No formal statement yet. The intuition is present but has
       not been cast into precise language.
   * - **NN**
     - NimbleNonfunctional
     - The innovation's **death valley**: the idea has been stated but
       does not yet function. It needs feeding --- resources, refinement,
       and iteration --- to grow into a minimum viable product (OO). Most
       innovations die here, not because they are worthless, but because
       they run out of energy before crossing the valley. **NN carries
       hope of rescue.**
   * - **OO**
     - OperatesOddly
     - A minimum viable product exists. Formal statement is present,
       believed true, but no proof has been attempted. The MVP works,
       but oddly --- much refinement is required.
   * - **PP**
     - PathProbing
     - Formal statement accompanied by a proof or structured argument.
       A stable core exists, but it has not yet been adversarially tested
       and may harbor hidden weaknesses.
   * - **QQ**
     - QualityQuest
     - Subjected to adversarial review. Objections have been raised; some
       resolved, some remain open. The claim is under active defense,
       increasingly refined but still fluid.
   * - **RR**
     - ReviewedRelease
     - All critical objections resolved. The author judges the claim
       publication-ready. Remaining objections (if any) are classified as
       non-critical or as scope limitations.
   * - **SS**
     - StableSource
     - Widely accepted by the relevant community after broad global review
       and adoption. Multiple independent checks exist. Comparable to an
       internationally stable standard.


What Versioned Variant Numbers (VVNs) mean
=================================================================================

You will see VVNs that look like ``dv_LLoL_OOv2r1p0_2026m03d30`` in page footers.
VVN elements are connected by underscores to  form a single block to simplify searching.
Here is how to read an example: 

- ``dv_`` --- StayVS versioning regime (e.g. ``dv`` = developer versioning, the standard case)
- ``LLoL`` --- nickname of who made the following maturity assessment
- ``_OO`` --- the stability code (StayC) of StayVS measures  maturity  (e.g. OperatesOddly, see table above)
- ``v2r1p0`` --- version 2, revision 1, patch 0
- ``_2026m03d30`` --- date of the assessment, 

When a page shows ``dv_Auto_MMv1_...`` it means the footer was
auto-generated and the author has not yet assessed the content stability.
