## Abstract

An inspectable Generalized Notation Notation (GNN)-specified active inference Battleship implementation, manuscript, and reproducibility materials. Finite-catalog Bayesian inference and one-shot objectives; no unrestricted optimality or empirical efficacy claim. Version 0.5.0 is the organization and visual-explanation edition: transferred GitHub repository, updated DOI-bearing manuscript, enhanced dashboard explanations, and a captioned 20-minute lecture with slides and transcript. Scientific traces and statistical design are unchanged. Synthetic local Aiden narration; original script and artwork are CC BY 4.0.
