b21 launch-7 — Cross-link grid (P-2 full N×N + P-3 b18-esc / b21)#
dv_ClaOp47Max) at LLoL’s
request on 2026m05d22.1. Context#
The b20 §5.4 cross-link plan has three priority tiers:
P-1 (launch-4): launch-critical links between the highest-traffic papers (b11, b18a, b19).
P-2 (this prompt): full N×N grid across b11–b20.
P-3 (this prompt): b18-esc Beginner / Producer / Expert variants ↔ b18a; b21 (AI framework) ↔ all papers.
P-2 + P-3 together complete the series-wide cross-linking. This is post-launch infrastructure work — not blocking the EOD 2026m05d27 launch.
2. Tasks#
2.1 P-2 — Full N×N grid#
For each pair (paper_i, paper_j) where i ≠ j and both are in b11–b20:
If paper_i discusses paper_j or is closely related: add a
:doc:link from paper_i’s main text (first mention) to paper_j.In each paper’s “Related papers in the Matheo series” subsection (set up in launch-4 for b11 / b18a / b19, and in launch-6’s SI template for all others), add a
:doc:link to every related paper with a one-line description.
Heuristic for “closely related”:
b11 (PET) is foundational for all matheology papers; every paper should reference b11.
b12 (e7Day) is closely tied to b11; every paper that uses e7Day framing should reference b12.
b13–b17 are HEAVEN-study papers; cross-reference among themselves where content overlaps.
b18a (Call to Action) is the policy bridge; many papers should reference it.
b19 (SGIR) is the pandemic application; reference from any paper discussing public-health math.
b20 (former SGIR appendix) is closely tied to b19; bidirectional link is expected.
Do NOT add a link merely because two papers are in the same series. The “Related papers” subsection from launch-6’s SI template handles that. Inline links should be meaningful (the text “as discussed in Matheo-b11” gets a link to b11; the text “the matheology series” does not need a link to each paper).
2.2 P-3 — b18-esc + b21#
b18-esc variants (Beginner / Producer / Expert) currently
live in hell/ll/study/b/18/ (per b20 §5.1.C).
If LLoL has approved promotion of b18-esc to
hell/mm/b/18/(per b20 F-4): the cross-links go between the promotedhell/mm/b/18/b18-esc-*.rstfiles.If b18-esc remains in study-llog: still add the cross-links; use the current paths.
P-3 links:
b18-esc Beginner ↔ b18a (and to Matheo overview).
b18-esc Producer ↔ b18a (and to Matheo overview).
b18-esc Expert ↔ b18a (and to Matheo overview).
b18-esc Beginner / Producer / Expert ↔ each other (audience ladder).
b21 (AI framework) ↔ every Matheo paper (b21 is the framework cited by every paper’s fn 7).
Every Matheo paper → b21 (fn 7 already cites b21; add
:doc:link in the SI cross-reference manifest as well).
2.3 Verify symmetry#
After all P-2 + P-3 links are inserted:
For every cross-link A → B, check that B → A also exists (or flag asymmetries with rationale).
For the “Related papers in the Matheo series” subsection in each paper: verify it lists every other paper in the series (modulo intentional exclusions).
2.4 Build test#
make dev. 0 new warnings target. Click-through test on a
representative sample (10–20 links across the new grid).
3. Out of scope#
P-1 tier (already done in launch-3 + launch-4).
Rewriting any paper’s content.
Reordering sections.
Promoting b18-esc from study-llog to MM (separate LLoL decision; this prompt assumes the current location at session start).
Generating new paper-description sentences for the “Related papers” subsections that do not align with each paper’s actual title / Broader Significance.
4. Deliverables#
Produce a single new LLog file at
source/matheology/hell/ll/infra/b/NN/bNN-launch-7-execution_<date>.rst
containing:
P-2 grid coverage matrix (which paper-pairs got new cross-links; which were already linked; which were intentionally not linked).
P-3 link list (b18-esc + b21 coverage).
Symmetry check report.
Build test result.
Click-through sample test result.
Concluding summary: series is now fully cross-linked at the P-2 + P-3 tiers.
Also update the infra index.
5. Timing & BABL-resistance#
Target: 90–120 minutes.
This prompt is the largest in raw edit count — potentially 40–60 cross-links across 10+ files. Quality over quantity: each link must read naturally in context.
The BABL trap: over-Complicating with link-density. A paper that gets 12 cross-links in its first paragraph is unreadable. Apply the “one link per paragraph at intro” rule (per CLAUDE.md ladder-pedagogy R3 / DD b12). If a paper needs more than 12 total cross-links across all sections, split into intra-text inline links + SI manifest links so the main text stays readable.
If you find P-2 / P-3 expanding into “while I’m here, also add P-2.5 / P-3.5 / P-4” — stop. The series is now linked enough; further refinement is a later session.
