Primary Source Specs
The two original DEEP-tier specs for ORDAO and the Respect token, imported from the ZAO OS V1 research library. These are the canonical mechanics references - everything in /research/01-foundations-deep.md and the whitepaper-foundations chapters traces back to these two docs.

How to use
- Implementing a fractal-governance feature? Start here. These are the most-detailed specs ZAO has on the actual mechanics.
- Reviewing ORDAO contracts?
ordao-respect-system.mdwalks the contract structure end-to-end. - Debating decay parameters or scoring curves?
respect-deep-dive.mdhas the math and the trade-off analysis. - Onboarding an engineer to ZAO Fractal? Send them these two first, then the whitepaper-foundations layer.
