Title: PLMRS Scope, Intent, and How to Contribute (Read This First)

Body:
PLMRS is published as an open engineering note: a conceptual, research-oriented synthesis for passive, foundation-embedded seismic resonance control. It is not construction documentation, not a stamped design, not site-specific guidance, and not a certified safety system.

Start here (recommended order)

docs/PLMRS_Engineering_Note_v1.0.md, concept overview + modeling directions

docs/PLMRS_Open_Release_and_Liability_v1.0.md, scope, licensing, liability boundaries

What this discussion space is for

Modeling critique: assumptions, boundary conditions, stability, failure modes

Feasibility analysis: what would have to be true for the mechanism to work

Experiment proposals: safe lab-scale test concepts (non-site-specific)

Literature connections: prior art in tuned mass damping, base isolation, resonance control

Documentation improvements: clarity, diagrams, terminology normalization

What this space is not for

“Can I build this for my house/building?” (No, this repo is not construction guidance.)

Site-specific engineering advice

Claims of guaranteed protection or performance

Contribution format (fastest path to useful review)

If you post a critique, please include:

What section you’re referencing

Your assumed model (linear/nonlinear, damping assumptions, forcing function)

What would falsify your claim (test or calculation)

Goal: keep this inspectable, falsifiable, and safe.
