FINAL DISPOSITION
Master Hash Manifest v17.0 is hereby cryptographically locked in the exact reviewed R2.1 memorial-successor byte identity recorded below. This lock is promotion-by-external-lock-record only: the reviewed PDF byte stream is not edited or re-exported after the final Google AI readiness PASS.

INTERNAL STATUS-WORDING NOTE
The canonical locked PDF retains the internally printed pre-lock wording "FINAL CANDIDATE R2.1 - NOT LOCKED - NOT PUBLISHED." That wording is intentionally preserved because changing it would create a new, unreviewed PDF byte stream. Finality and cryptographic lock status are conferred by this separate Final Cryptographic Lock Record. The internal wording therefore records the file's state at the moment immediately before lock; it is not the controlling post-lock status.

REVIEW GATES
1. Predecessor R1/R2 review: Google AI disposition PASS - READY FOR AUTHORIAL LOCK DECISION.
2. Memorial-successor narrow review: Google AI disposition PASS - R2.1 MEMORIAL SUCCESSOR READY FOR AUTHORIAL LOCK DECISION.
3. Authorial gate: explicit authorization supplied by Thomas Vargo at 2026-08-11T14:45:20-04:00: "Authorize the final cryptographic lock of Master Hash Manifest v17.0 FINAL, dedicated to Mary Beth Vargo."

SCOPE OF AUTHORIZATION
This authorization is limited to the cryptographic lock of the exact reviewed memorial successor and its final archival lock package. It does not authorize publication, upload, external preservation, mirror deployment, website changes, DOI creation, GitHub action, Archive.org action, Zenodo action, Arweave action, PhilPapers/MERLOT action, or any other external dissemination step.

LINEAGE / ANCHOR STATE
The lock establishes the exact v17.0 FINAL identity. No external publication or mirror action is performed by this lock record. Until a separate publication/synchronization action is authorized and completed, existing public-facing references may continue to identify v16.0 FINAL as the current public integrity anchor.

CRYPTOGRAPHIC BOUNDARY
A hash verifies file identity only. It does not verify truth, authority, wisdom, morality, safety, alignment, legal status, donor rights, governance rights, AI behavior, reader understanding, reception, endorsement, or substantive correctness. This manifest remains read-only, non-binding, non-operational, non-authoritative, and advisory only.

MEMORIAL
This locked v17.0 edition carries a personal memorial dedication to Mary Beth Vargo (March 27, 1977 - August 11, 2026). The dedication is memorial front matter only and does not alter the archive's underlying canonical intellectual works, record admissions, cryptographic claims, or verification boundaries.

LOCK RESULT
Status: FINAL v17.0 - CRYPTOGRAPHICALLY LOCKED
Publication status: NOT PUBLISHED BY THIS LOCK ACTION
Post-lock editing rule: Any future textual or binary change to the locked manifest requires a new successor version and new cryptographic identity.
