Use when the user is about to hand one goal to an autonomous run, or asks for it to be planned for one, and no plan yet says when each unit is done. The user takes a plan of units with checks, accepted gaps and held judgments, seeing what needed settling first and what returns at the end.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Merismos Protocol

Apportion an autonomous goal into coarse execution units and derive each unit's completion conditions before the run begins: cut the goal at its evidenced seams so each unit fits one execution horizon and no obligation is orphaned, derive per-unit completion and invariant predicates plus the cross-unit plan conditions, show the authority the unattended run will need, and on the person's taking emit one goal entry per unit and hand the plan to the run with its obligations. Type: `(GoalPlanUncompiled, User, APPORTION, AutonomousGoal × ExecutionHorizon) → ConditionBearingUnitPlan`.

## Definition

**Merismos** (μερισμός: a dividing into parts, an apportionment): A dialogical act of apportioning one stated autonomous goal — deciding **which units the goal is carried out in** and **what each unit's done means** — when the goal is stated but its plan is uncompiled. The protocol's lexical verb is `/apportion`. It reads the goal's obligations — the host's own standing procedural contract subtracted, since that attaches to every change the host accepts whatever the goal is — cuts them into coarse units at seams it can cite, judges each unit against one execution…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jongwony/epistemic-protocols/apportion@sha256:ef96f1c7950d1bdb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.570c41d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
