%Excellent --- this is exactly the right instinct. You're not just
%publishing a paper --- you're proposing to \emph{reformulate the
%conceptual taxonomy of AI}, which will draw both \textbf{methodological
%and political} scrutiny.
%Below is a \textbf{multi-stage verification and readiness procedure} you
%can adopt before public release, whether for arXiv, ACM, or journal
%submission. It combines academic rigor, reproducibility standards, and
%domain-specific validation for the ``taxonomy-proposal'' genre.

ontologies (e.g., ISO/IEC 22989 concept hierarchy, Wikidata entries).
