Phase 0 Participation Implementation Guide v1.1: A Pre-Opening PI and Laboratory Readiness Guide for the Sal-Meter / CAIS Kernel Program

This document is a pre-opening PI and laboratory readiness guide aligned to the current Sal-Meter / CAIS kernel program, execution order, and public claims boundary. It is explicitly non-canonical, non-diagnostic, and non-therapeutic. Its purpose is not to declare a broad competition already open, but to explain the present structure under which external Layer-0 feasibility precedes internal kernel-building phases and broader opening follows only after LOCK 1 and LOCK 2 review. The guide translates the updated execution order, public language boundary, readiness architecture, leakage-safe analysis expectations, and canonical authority map into a practical helper layer for principal investigators, laboratory leads, and technical groups. It is best understood as a governance-aware execution guide at the boundary between philosophy of science, philosophy of artificial intelligence, and experimental methodology.
