+**IP framing of the three products — 3 patent applications + 3 marks, decided 2026-08-29.**
+The three products are treated as **three patent applications**, each matched to a trademark,
+with one caveat about the pre-existing provisional:
+
+- **Patent 1 + mark StarForth.** The hosted/interpreted StarForth runtime product.
+- **Patent 2 + marks StarshipOS + LithosAnanke.** The full standalone OS
+  (LithosAnanke → StarshipOS). (Noted as "StarshopOS" in the 2026-08-29 decision words;
+  canonical repo spelling and mark is **StarshipOS** — confirmed as the literal mark
+  to register.)
+- **Patent 3 + mark Compudynamics.** The Zynq hardware steady-state machinery with sealed
+  executions, HOL-proven — anchored by the physics-adaptive runtime.
+
+**Relationship to the existing provisional (must be reconciled, not assumed).** The repo
+already carries a **"Patent pending"** USPTO **provisional filed December 2025** for the
+physics-grounded self-adaptive runtime (the Compudynamics adaptive runtime), sourced in
+`docs/patent/` and referenced in `README.md`. Compudynamics is therefore already staked as
+the brand of that foundation. Open points to resolve with counsel before any filing, so
+nothing is invented or double-filed: is patent 3 the continuation/refinement of that
+provisional (its HOL hardware realization) or a fresh application? Are the three product
+applications additive to, or folding in, the Dec-2025 provisional? This record states intent;
+it does not file, claim, or draft legal text.

 **Before the FPGA — "coloring in", decided 2026-08-29.** The period between the all-three
 bare-metal cut (v2.5.0) and starting the Zynq is finishing/hardening work that thickens the
 shape of what already exists rather than adding new silicon. This is not idle time; it is
