# WORLDLINE — SirenOfGraves (31)

> Fractal design: same format as vault [WORLDLINE.md](../WORLDLINE.md). **Claim → method → paths → tier.** Lab procedure: [README § Lab protocol](../README.md#lab-protocol).  
> **Triad:** [README.md](README.md) · [BOUNTY_BOARD.md](BOUNTY_BOARD.md) · this file. **STARS:** [BOOK.md](BOOK.md). **Methodology:** [FORM.md](FORM.md).

**Upstream theory:** [21 LuaOversoul](../21_Project_LuaOversoul/README.md) (three walls). **Downstream:** [24 OraclesMantle](../24_Project_OraclesMantle/README.md) (civilization framing).

## BREAKTHROUGH 1 — Surface kit bootstrap

- **Claim:** **31** has full **`WORLDLINE.md`**, **`BOUNTY_BOARD.md`**, **`BOOK.md`**, **`FORM.md`** per [FORM_PROTOCOL.md](../FORM_PROTOCOL.md) and [BOOK_Protocol.md](../BOOK_Protocol.md).
- **Method:** Log geographic covariates, ethics review, and dataset versions for any cross-cultural statistical claim.
- **Where:** `31_Project_SirenOfGraves/`
- **Tier:** IMPLEMENTED.

## BREAKTHROUGH 2 — Core question (from README)

- **Claim:** Beauty standards are **expensive**; evolution should purge arbitrary costly traits unless they serve a function — [README.md](README.md) § Core Question / Hypothesis frames **Lady of Graves** breeding-program read vs orthodox “cultural drift.”
- **Method:** Any empirical test must pre-register regions, fungal ecology data source, and anthropological citations in [BOOK.md](BOOK.md); log results here with **effect size**, not anecdote.
- **Where:** [README.md](README.md) § Core Question.
- **Tier:** DOCUMENTED (hypothesis — not vault-grade until measured).
