Every doctrine that has not survived the Advocatus is provisional. That includes all of them.

How to use

Add new opposition: Edit references/opposition-registry.md. Write the strongest version of the charge — steelman, not straw man. Then add the entry to scripts/advocatus_eval.py DOCTRINES dict.

Clear a doctrine: Change "survives": True in the DOCTRINES dict when:

• The charge has been acknowledged
• The evidence has been addressed (or accepted as valid)
• What the opposition demands has been delivered or explicitly deferred with a date
