# Appendix Guide and Authority

Appendices are supporting documents for the consolidated AEON v1 spec set.

Authority rule:

- Canonical rules live in the top-level v1 specs and companion references.
- Appendices are informative unless a canonical document explicitly delegates a topic to an appendix.
- If an appendix conflicts with a canonical v1 document, the canonical v1 document wins.

See:

- AEON v1 Supersession and Precedence Table
- AEON Specification v1
- AEON Core v1 Compliance Specification
- AEOS Specification v1

Parser and grammar aids:

- Appendix — Grammar Flow Cards — context-card illustrations for legal Core v1 parser flow.

Evolution and forward-compatibility aids:

- Appendix — Directive Block Capabilities — informative v1 reservation for directive-block capability declarations and future v2 activation.
