NORTH CAROLINA · THE THIRD STATE · VERBATIM-OR-ABSENT · FAIL-CLOSED
The North Carolina corpus board — the honest state.
Everything below is live-counted from the corpus on every request, nothing aspirational. North Carolina law entered byte-for-byte from official publishers, phase by phase, exactly like Florida and Texas did — this is the build ledger and the live count behind the North Carolina front door.

The build ledger
NC-0 · The Chassis
Jurisdiction registry · dormancy gates · the § 84-2.2 conditional posture encoded · FL + TX pinned byte-identical
NC-1 · The Rules Spine
Ch. 1A Rules of Civil Procedure (70) + Ch. 8C Evidence (66) — legislatively enacted, loaded verbatim from ncleg.gov
NC-2 · Code Sweep α
1,218 core sections (Ch. 1, 1B–1G, 5A, 7A, 150B) — the backtracking-stub catch; 394 orphans retired reversibly
NC-3 · Code Sweep β
3,920 substrate sections (19 chapters incl. Ch. 84 — the rail's own law) + the whole Constitution (153)
NC-4 · Local Layer + Federal Rim
The 1,220-doc nccourts.gov catalog cracked → 301 rule docs live (132 = the OCR queue) + EDNC/MDNC/WDNC + CA4 whole books
NC-5 · The Deadline Registry
18 pure traced formulas — the 30-day answer (NO Monday rule), first-pass 19/19 live corroboration
NC-6 · The Discovery OS
The classic regime with honest contrasts — no Levels, no 193.2 analog, the 26(f) 40-day meeting machine
NC-7 · Theaters + Lifecycles
Six machines — ejectment's 10-day lifeline, 50B safety lane, the BC 30-day window, foreclosure before the clerk
NC-8 · Practice
Rule 10(a) captions, Rule 11's MANDATORY sanction, Rule 5 service, § 7A-49.5 eCourts county-honest, AOC forms pointers
NC-9 · Knowledge
11 claim families — PURE CONTRIBUTORY stated loud — the unified court map, anchors verify-before-citing
NC-T · The Traffic Lane
Ch. 20 + 15A loaded (1,246) — the per-offense posture, THE PJC pinned to loaded text, the DMV layer
NC-10 · Money + COMPLIANCE
The advertising-directory rail (per-lead hard-excluded) + the counsel brief; the § 84-2.2 assembler gate in code
NC-11 · TarBench
The end-to-end matter run + the contamination guard (78 pins, NC-namespace-only, disjoint from FL AND TX)
NC-12–19 · The surface build
All ~30 public surfaces at /nc/* — served (double-gated), authority, discovery, theaters, courts, traffic, learn, family
NC-NAV + HOME · The front door
The jurisdiction-aware nav + the Florida-mirror homepage; NC_LIVE flip + status-'live' promotion remain founder-deliberate
Open the verbatim law
Every unit renders with its hash, review state, and provenance — same trust surface as Florida and Texas.
Rule 12 — the 30-day answer
no Monday rule — the anti-Texas, verbatim
Rule 8 — the answer's form
the conditional general denial, in the rule's own words
G.S. 75-1.1 — the UDTPA
the marquee NC claim (treble via 75-16)
G.S. 84-2.2 — the software safe harbor
the CONDITIONAL provision the platform's own gate enforces
G.S. 7A-243 — the $25,000 line
the Superior/District division boundary
N.C. Const. art. I, § 18
courts shall be open — the floor under all of it
G.S. 50-13.2 — custody
the interest-and-welfare standard, routed not drafted
E.D.N.C. Local Civil Rules
the federal rim, whole rulebook
The North Carolina deadline registry — parameters pinned to the law
18 formulas, each a pure traced function whose operative language must survive verbatim in the live corpus or the release fails — 19/19 green on the first pass, zero drift.
