The three readings (maaseh_merkavah, moreh_nevuchim, mishpatim)
are interpretive essays + one parallel Prolog encoding. They are
"the book" the README describes, not the specification or the
implementation. The essays don't influence the shipped code;
mishpatim's Prolog is a parallel encoding to talmudic_engine/
mitzvot.pl, not its source.
Moved to ~/shorashim-readings/ — a companion repo. The code repo
stays spec + implementation + deployment. The book gets its own
home so it can grow without dragging 5,853 verse files with every
essay edit.
Also:
- README.md: rewrote the "Repository Structure" tree to match
reality (it still showed readings/terumah/, scripts/conversation_
search.py, memory/, and was missing l1/, AGENTS.md, BUILD_*,
KOHEN.md, opencode.json, .env.example).
- Added a "Kept outside this repo" section naming the three
companion directories: shorashim-readings, shorashim-source-data,
shorashim-operator-notes.
- Updated the "This repository contains" list: readings are no
longer item 1; the edut (l1/torah/) is now called out explicitly.
- Created .env.example with placeholders for ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
GITEA_TOKEN, REGISTRY_CLI_SECRET, and SHORASHIM_SOURCE_DATA.

Each spec corresponds to a parshah of Shemot. The earlier names
were generic English (materials, operations, construction,
economic_model). Torah names them precisely:
- Shemot 25:2 — terumah (תרומה, root רום, "what is lifted")
- Shemot 27:20 — tamid (תמיד, "continual" — the lamp that never goes out)
- Shemot 35:1 — vayakhel (קהל, "assembled" — community-formed building)
- Shemot 38:21 — pekudei (פקד, "accounted" — every material counted)
Renames:
shorashim_materials.md → shorashim_terumah.md
shorashim_operations.md → shorashim_tamid.md
shorashim_construction.md → shorashim_vayakhel.md
shorashim_economic_model.md → shorashim_pekudei.md
Updated cross-references in:
- README.md (parshah table + repo tree, also fixed stale tree
showing src/ and transcripts/ that no longer exist)
- AGENTS.md
- BUILD_KORBAN.md
- specs/shorashim_terumah.md (internal Document Registry)
Generic English is silver. Torah's words are gold (Mishlei 25:11).
