RTEP Relational Template Extraction Process — Specification v0.1

Overview & Definition RTEP (Relational Template Extraction Process) is the primary archetypal extraction methodology of RCT. It extracts the canonical, timeless relational skeleton of a system — the structure that persists across all instances and variations. RTEP outputs are templates: stable, generative archetypes that can be instantiated in different contexts without losing their fundamental character. Definition: RTEP is the systematic extraction of the archetypal relational structure underlying a target system, corpus, or domain, producing a canonical template consisting of Primitive candidates, Property candidates, Pattern candidates, and their governing Principles, placed within the Manifold Stack.
