## Citing the DCRL architecture as presented in this release

When specifically discussing the **Detect → Clarify → Resolve → Learn (DCRL)** control loop as implemented or documented here, cite the same v1 release and identify DCRL in the surrounding text.

Example:

> The implementation uses a Detect–Clarify–Resolve–Learn (DCRL) control loop for resolving operational ambiguity before execution (Sakaguchi, 2026).

## Development provenance

The first prototype grew out of a context-loss incident during a Gemini Deep Research session on September 4, 2026. Gemini produced the initial research report and SPA prototype after the working context was lost while an approval-style message remained. The public v1 release was subsequently re-specified, corrected, and rewritten as a deterministic educational simulator under Deshimaru Sakaguchi's responsibility.

This provenance note acknowledges the tool-assisted origin of the prototype. It does not make Gemini or Google the author, publisher, maintainer, or responsible party for the public v1 release.

## Versioning

If a later version changes definitions, thresholds, heuristics, or state behavior, cite the version actually consulted.

If you archived a specific copy, you may add an access date or archive URL according to the citation style you use.

## Scope of attribution

The citation identifies this project's particular public presentation, specification, simulator, vocabulary, and implementation. It should not be read as a claim that every underlying concept in ambiguity resolution, clarification, dialogue systems, agent control, or DCRL terminology originated with this project.
