AEON Specification v1
DraftStart here for the overall AEON Core v1 model, scope, behavior modes, and the companion documents that define the rest of the specification surface.

AEON v1
AEON is the human-readable typed notation at the foundation of the Aeonite family. This index is organized by implementation task: begin with the normative core, use the focused references while building, then consult the conformance and publication records.
AEOS is the related schema and validation system. Its specification and compliance documents now have a separate AEOS v1 documentation index.
Start here
Read the core specification first, then use the compliance specification to turn its requirements into an implementation checklist.
Conformance requirements for implementations, including required syntax support, reference legality, policy controls, and canonical rendering rules.
