This museum preserves the full lineage of thinking that led to the current active ADR set. Per the YY Method: corrections are new events, not silent rewrites. Prior directions remain inspectable.
Read in this order to understand how the system evolved.
Layer 1 — Case-002: YY's World (predecessor)
Date: March 30, 2026 Status: Superseded by yysworld (see C2-024 and YYBW-019) Source: yymethod-home/content/case-002/
YY's World was the predecessor concept — a kids-primary, COPPA-by-elimination, outward-only branching world. It was decided coherently and superseded cleanly. The full reasoning chain is preserved here as a scar record.

Layer 2 — Pre-Manifest Thinking
Date: before v0.1 schema Status: museum — superseded by Manifest v0.1 and active YYBW ADRs Source: yysworld_complete_starter_kit_v0_1/adrs/museum/
Raw directional thinking before the manifest existed. Short-form captures of intent, tensions, and implications. These are where the core ideas lived before they hardened into structure.

Layer 3 — Starter Kit v0.1 Schema-Era
Date: April 14, 2026 Status: museum — superseded by active YYBW ADRs Source: yysworld_complete_starter_kit_v0_1/adrs/active/
These ADRs governed the v0.1 schema package era. They established the technical contracts (artifact provenance, mutation policy, event stream, replay semantics) that the active YYBW ADRs absorbed and extended.
