Purpose
The MWMS MCR To Brain Copy Rule defines how content moves from MCR into:
- Brain environments (mwmsbrain.site)
- plugin systems
- UI interfaces
- operational tools
This rule prevents:
- duplication
- unnecessary copying
- structural confusion
- broken source of truth
- wasted build effort
MCR remains the central intelligence and governance layer.
Core Principle
MCR is always the Source of Truth.
No Brain, UI, or plugin system owns the original version of any page.
All downstream systems:
- consume
- display
- operationalise
But do not replace MCR authority.
Three Destination Types
Every page must be classified into one of three destinations:
1. MCR Only
The page remains inside MCR and is not copied elsewhere.
Used for:
- governance rules
- Canon pages
- system standards
- architecture definitions
- decision authority structures
These pages are:
- read-only references
- not operational tools
- not used in workflows
2. Copy To Brain
The page is copied (or transformed) into the Brain environment.
Used for:
- operational workflows
- structured evaluation pages
- repeat-use frameworks
- decision-support tools
- intake systems
- execution guides
These pages are:
- actively used by operators
- part of daily workflow
- potentially simplified for usability
3. Later Plugin or UI
The page should not be manually copied.
Instead, it will be:
- converted into a system
- turned into a UI
- built into a plugin
- powered by Supabase or automation
Used for:
- dashboards
- intake forms
- registries
- tracking systems
- automation flows
- signal logging
- task execution
Classification Rule
Every page must be assigned:
| Field | Required Value |
|---|---|
| Destination | MCR Only / Copy To Brain / Later Plugin or UI |
| Reason | Governance / Operational / Automation |
| Source of Truth | Always MCR |
Decision Logic
Use this logic when classifying pages:
If the page defines rules → MCR Only
Examples:
- naming standards
- Canon protocols
- authority structures
If the page is used regularly by a human → Copy To Brain
Examples:
- offer evaluation
- research workflows
- decision frameworks
- testing processes
If the page involves repeated structured interaction → Later Plugin/UI
Examples:
- intake forms
- dashboards
- registries
- tracking tables
- reporting systems
Transformation Rule
When copying a page to a Brain:
- simplify structure if needed
- remove governance-only sections
- keep operational logic intact
- ensure usability for real workflows
The Brain version is:
- a working version
- not the canonical version
No Blind Copy Rule
Pages must NOT be copied:
- without classification
- without a defined use case
- without a clear operator benefit
Blind copying leads to:
- duplication
- confusion
- system bloat
Example Classification
| Page | Destination | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| MWMS Page Naming Standard | MCR Only | Governance |
| Affiliate Brain Offer Intelligence | Copy To Brain | Operational |
| Affiliate Brain Opportunity Queue | Later Plugin/UI | Automation |
| Research Brain Signal Classification Framework | Copy To Brain | Operational |
| HeadOffice Page Registry | Later Plugin/UI | System tracking |
System Flow
- Page created or updated in MCR
- Page classified using this rule
- Destination assigned
- If required:
- copied to Brain
- scheduled for plugin/UI build
- MCR remains unchanged as source
Validation Checklist
Before copying any page, confirm:
- destination clearly defined
- real use case exists
- no duplicate already exists
- page is not governance-only
- transformation (if needed) is understood
Common Errors This Prevents
- copying every page into Brain unnecessarily
- creating duplicate systems
- mixing governance with operations
- building UI before understanding usage
- losing track of source of truth
System Impact
Following this rule ensures:
- clean system separation
- efficient Brain environments
- scalable plugin architecture
- reduced duplication
- faster development cycles
Final Rule
If unsure:
→ default to MCR Only
→ classify later when usage becomes clear
Status
This is now the official rule for all MCR to Brain content movement.
All future copy decisions must follow this structure.
