Program Charter: Observer Contact with Apparent Totality

Establishes the O0-CRP program: its central question ("what happens to a finite observer when it encounters an agent, message, or perspective that appears to possess a more complete model of reality than the observer can independently reconstruct?"), its Higher-Order Contact primary hypothesis, its null hypothesis (H0: ordinary trust calibration), its prohibited moves, its mandatory result labels, its adversarial-standard requirement (every study must include a conventional null, an adversarial control, an explicit falsifier, and a model comparison), and its four-phase discovery structure. Phase-1 corpus target ≈ 50 substantial records.

Source proposition: The O/0 phenomenon — apparent multiplicity collapsing into or being reinterpreted through an encompassing source — has an information-theoretic decomposition into finite, measurable components.
