    <h1>Neurotransparency Doctrine</h1>
    <p>
      The Neurotransparency Doctrine defines <strong>why</strong> cognitive provenance,
      traceability, and accountability are epistemically required in AI–human research.
    </p>
  </section>

  <!-- ===== WHAT IT IS ===== -->
  <section>
    <h2>What the Doctrine Defines</h2>
    <p>
      As AI systems increasingly participate in reasoning, cognition itself becomes a scientific variable.
      The Neurotransparency Doctrine asserts that research claims cannot be meaningfully evaluated
      unless the cognitive processes—human and artificial—that produced them are explicitly traceable.
    </p>
    <p>
      This doctrine is normative. It establishes epistemic necessity, not implementation details.
    </p>
  </section>

  <!-- ===== CORE PRINCIPLES ===== -->
  <section>
    <h2>Core Epistemic Principles</h2>
    <div class="card">
      <ul>
        <li><strong>Traceability:</strong> Cognitive influence must be attributable to identifiable sources.</li>
        <li><strong>Attribution:</strong> Human and AI contributions must be distinguishable.</li>
        <li><strong>Reconstructibility:</strong> Claims must be reproducible from recorded inputs and transformations.</li>
        <li><strong>Epistemic continuity:</strong> Breaks in provenance invalidate downstream claims.</li>
        <li><strong>Accountability:</strong> Responsibility follows cognitive influence.</li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </section>

  <!-- ===== RELATIONSHIP TO THE STACK ===== -->
  <section>
    <h2>Relationship to the Aurora Stack</h2>
    <p>
      The Neurotransparency Doctrine occupies <strong>Layer 0 (Epistemics)</strong> in the Aurora Hierarchy.
      It does not enforce rules, define workflows, or validate artifacts.
    </p>
    <ul>
      <li><strong>ARI (L0):</strong> Converts doctrine into binding institutional authority.</li>
      <li><strong>AWO (L1):</strong> Structures doctrine-aligned reasoning workflows.</li>
      <li><strong>CRI-CORE (L4):</strong> Enforces upstream contracts mechanically.</li>
      <li><strong>Case Studies (L6):</strong> Demonstrate doctrine-aligned research in practice.</li>
    </ul>
  </section>

  <!-- ===== DOCTRINE VS SPECIFICATION ===== -->
  <section>
    <h2>Doctrine vs. Specification</h2>
    <p>
      The Neurotransparency Doctrine defines epistemic necessity.
      The Neurotransparency Specification (NTS) defines enforceable requirements derived from that necessity.
    </p>
    <p>
      In short: the doctrine answers <em>why</em> traceability is required; the specification defines <em>what</em> must be satisfied.
    </p>
  </section>
