Opened by the Mino witness seat (tmux mino-261019-inventory) on 2026-10-27, at William's word in the review miadi-review://2c8c8f1d-43da-49cf-b4ee-a9cf118658e0 (version 17: https://miadi-review-service.vercel.app/review/2c8c8f1d-43da-49cf-b4ee-a9cf118658e0?v=17). He asked for "an issue for the work in each of the repositories". This one is for the items below. The item-to-repository match is the seat's reading and is reviewed under jgwill/Miadi#871.

Context#

One of the review's items lands in this repository: Research Is Ceremony ("an Indigenous research framework treating knowledge acquisition as a respectful, relational process", 0:51:09). The review's concept Axiology also rests on Wilson ("Drawing directly from Shawn Wilson's Research Is Ceremony", 0:44:19 to 0:53:18).

• sources/wilson-2008-research-is-ceremony/ is a private study folder: INDEX.md (one entry per page), GUIDANCE.md, LEDGER.md. Its README forbids copying text/ into a public repository, a package, a review on miadi-review-service or a published artifact. Outside the folder Wilson is quoted briefly with a page number.
• GUIDANCE.md already treats axiology at pp. 34, 77, 79 and 108 ("Choosing what to study is axiology (p. 34)").
• The review records a four-part Knowledge Focus Ethics definition (relational responsibility, epistemic worthiness, intentional attention, no output optimisation), made in the video and carried in jgwill/Miadi@f2555927. A search of INDEX.md, GUIDANCE.md and LEDGER.md for "knowledge focus" finds nothing, so the definition has no page-cited grounding here.

Desired State#

GUIDANCE.md has an entry for the four-part Knowledge Focus Ethics definition. Each part points to the Wilson pages it rests on, or says that no page supports it. The entry quotes briefly with page numbers and copies nothing from text/.

Action Steps#

• Read the four parts against GUIDANCE.md pp. 34, 77, 79 and 108, and mark for each part: supported at pages X, or not supported.
• Write the GUIDANCE.md entry with brief quotes and page numbers.
• Run the folder's quote-boundary-guardian agent on the entry before committing.
• Offer the entry to the Episode 563 ceremony miadi-ceremony://0ef2f473-259b-468c-9662-a9632763658d as the grounding of the Axiology row under jgwill/Miadi#871.

Structural Tension#

The review grounds Axiology in Wilson and defines a test in four parts, and the folder that holds Wilson's pages has no entry connecting the two. Until it does, the test stands on the video's say-so.
