Changes are part of the argument. This log records what changed, why it changed, and what the revision now permits or prevents.
role_conversion 2026-07-10
REV001 — RQ1
What changed: Former claim C9 is now an open research question rather than a public conclusion.
Why: The causal pathway lacks a dedicated comparative case and specified temporal reverse-causality design.
Affected evidence: E062, E063, E064
Consequence: The record is excluded from explanatory claim counts and cannot be promoted without the specified comparative test.
Prior and current wording
Prior: C9 was presented in the explanatory claim sequence as a causal responsibility-gap claim.
Current: RQ1 asks when if ever measurable repair failure increases authoritarian appeal through a defined mediator.
role_conversion 2026-07-10
REV002 — M1
What changed: Former claim C10 is now a method commitment and does not add to the theory claim count.
Why: This is an auditable practice requirement rather than evidence that any substantive theory is true.
Affected evidence: No individual typed evidence edge was assigned to this architecture-level revision.
Consequence: The record moves to the method layer and is evaluated by audit and break conditions.
Prior and current wording
Prior: C10 was presented in the explanatory claim sequence as a substantive claim about visible repair.
Current: M1 commits the project to exposing objections evidence gaps corrections narrowing and withdrawals.
claim_split 2026-07-10
REV003 — C5
What changed: The empirical fertility hypothesis and the ethical guardrail are now explicitly separate.
Why: An empirical hypothesis can be revised by evidence; an ethical protection must not be treated as a demographic output variable.
Affected evidence: E046, E047, E048, E049, E050, E051, E052, E053
Consequence: Evidence may narrow or withdraw the causal pathway without weakening the anti-coercive rule.
Prior and current wording
Prior: The empirical fertility pathway and the ethical protection of reproductive agency were combined in one claim frame.
Current: C5 tests a bounded intention-achievement pathway while reproductive agency bodily autonomy plural life projects and anti-coercion remain an unconditional guardrail.
scope_narrowing 2026-07-10
REV004 — C4
What changed: The belief claim has been narrowed to settings where recombination can be defined and observed.
Why: The broader wording overgeneralized Western online subcultures and lacked longitudinal non-Western comparisons.
Affected evidence: E054, E055, E056, E057, E058, E059, E060, E061
Consequence: The claim cannot support a global account of belief change and requires contrasted settings before expansion.
Prior and current wording
Prior: C4 risked describing belief recombination as a broad trajectory of contemporary secularization.
Current: C4 now applies only to specified societies cohorts periods and mediated settings with predeclared indicators.
status_demotion 2026-07-10
REV005 — C8
What changed: The symbolic-displacement idea is now marked frontier rather than treated as an established mechanism.
Why: No current case demonstrates causal displacement and symbolic action may enable rather than block repair.
Affected evidence: E032, E033, E034, E035
Consequence: C8 stays outside the core explanatory sequence until a bounded discriminating case is registered.
Prior and current wording
Prior: C8 could be read as an established mechanism in which symbolic response displaces material repair.
Current: C8 is a frontier mechanism requiring a demonstrated displacement pathway distinct from coexistence or mobilization.
taxonomy_separation 2026-07-10
What changed: The public register now separates what a record does from how well it is evidenced.
Why: Architecture and evidence maturity answer different questions and must not silently substitute for one another.
Affected evidence: No individual typed evidence edge was assigned to this architecture-level revision.
Consequence: Public displays and audits must report the separate fields and cannot infer support from hierarchy position.
Prior and current wording
Prior: Claim role theory status and research confidence could be read as one undifferentiated ranking.
Current: Each record now separates claim role claim kind research state and theory status.
verdict_correction 2026-07-10
What changed: The existing cases have been relabeled as illustrations rather than proofs.
Why: The available records document settings and events but do not meet the declared three-way causal test.
Affected evidence: E001, E002, E003, E011, E012, E019, E024, E036, E046, E065, E066, E067, E068
Consequence: Case cards must use illustration language until failure successful-repair and boundary comparisons satisfy predeclared tests.
Prior and current wording
Prior: Case verdicts could be read as tests establishing the general mechanisms assigned to them.
Current: The three current cases are described as bounded illustrations that do not establish general causality incremental effects or independent mechanisms.
status_correction 2026-07-10
REV008 — F;G
What changed: The F and G modules are now marked provisional; their current cases are illustrative.
Why: Existing cases illustrate relevant settings but do not establish module-level causal validity.
Affected evidence: No individual typed evidence edge was assigned to this architecture-level revision.
Consequence: Public hierarchy labels may not use case-tested for F or G without qualifying comparative evidence.
Prior and current wording
Prior: The hierarchy labeled Theories F and G as case-tested.
Current: Theory F is a provisional defensive provenance module and Theory G is a provisional agency and care module.
status_correction 2026-07-11
What changed: The Vienna–Montreal regime now fills one successful-repair role for C1 and C7; it refines the comparison set without confirming the general theory or a climate-sector mechanism.
Why: Verified canonical sources now support a bounded control-output pressure-reversal and incomplete-recovery record, while technology market domestic-regulation trade tractability and attribution rivals remain live.
Affected evidence: E009, E044
Consequence: C1 and C7 remain developing. C7 still lacks a carbon-dioxide-sector boundary case and sector threshold, and C1 still lacks a prospectively specified discriminating cross-domain test.
Prior and current wording
Prior: C1 and C7 showed Montreal as an unregistered successful-repair candidate and active evidence gap.
Current: C1 and C7 now link CS004 as a substantial adaptive but incomplete successful-repair comparison. The retrospective case fills the named comparison roles without promoting either claim.
scope_narrowing 2026-07-11
REV010 — C1
What changed: North American acid deposition now fills one general boundary role for C1; the five lag types remain unchanged and C7's climate-sector boundary gap stays open.
Why: The acid-deposition record shows that residual damage is not sufficient evidence of continuing institutional repair failure and that control pressure chemical and biological endpoints must remain separate.
Affected evidence: E010
Consequence: C1 remains developing. The case supplies a retrospective boundary of inference, not a prospectively confirmed negative case or a matched causal comparison.
Prior and current wording
Prior: C1 required an independent boundary case but did not yet encode the distinction between repair-process adequacy and substrate-recovery time.
Current: C1 now links CS005 as a boundary challenge: strong institutional control and pressure reduction can coexist with slow and uneven substrate recovery for physical and biogeochemical reasons.
publication_authorization 2026-07-13
What changed: The first living editions are now publicly accessible as dated working manuscripts; future versions receive new paths and earlier public versions remain available.
Why: The editions are evolving author manuscripts whose history should remain accessible; bounded publication can preserve provenance without importing every sentence as canonical evidence.
Affected evidence: No individual typed evidence edge was assigned to this architecture-level revision.
Consequence: Only the registered artifacts and archive presentation become public. Current canonical registries supersede conflicting status score or evidence wording and full citation-level external verification remains outstanding.
Prior and current wording
Prior: RPT52 kept the Deepening Edition PDF and Peech Narration DOCX as Project source files that were not approved for wholesale public publication.
Current: The owner authorizes the exact checksum-registered Deepening Edition 2.0 PDF and Peech Narration Edition companion for an immutable versioned public archive while preserving all prior public editions.
scope_narrowing 2026-07-13
What changed: The acid-deposition boundary case now names its observed endpoint precisely and preserves the biological-evidence gap.
Why: The registered evidence supports regionally uneven acid-neutralizing-capacity and chemistry response; it does not yet define or establish a biological-recovery endpoint.
Affected evidence: E010
Consequence: The boundary verdict remains in place and C1 remains developing, but public surfaces may not generalize chemistry indicators into biological recovery.
Prior and current wording
Prior: Public headlines described the observed CS005 endpoint broadly as uneven aquatic recovery, which could be read as including biological-community recovery.
Current: CS005 headlines now identify uneven monitored surface-water chemistry recovery and state that direct biological recovery remains undefined.
scope_narrowing 2026-07-13
REV013 — C4
What changed: The public history now matches C4's bounded status and keeps its rival descriptions visible.
Why: The categorical sentence exceeded C4's bounded developing status and obscured its registered rivals and non-Western longitudinal gaps.
Affected evidence: E054, E055, E056, E057, E058, E059, E060, E061
Consequence: Historical framing may introduce C4 only as a specified-setting question and cannot promote a general account of belief change.
Prior and current wording
Prior: The public History page stated categorically that belief change is recombination.
Current: The History page now says that in some specified settings belief change may involve recombination alongside secularization indifference institutional switching or continuity.
status_correction 2026-07-13
REV014 — M1
What changed: The method record now distinguishes an existing public revision history from the still-unmet test of responsiveness over time.
Why: The old wording was stale after twelve public revisions and multiple evidence-driven corrections; publication alone still does not prove sustained responsiveness.
Affected evidence: No individual typed evidence edge was assigned to this architecture-level revision.
Consequence: M1's remaining test is sustained response to real external criticism or a failed prospective test with timing evidence and consequence recorded.
Prior and current wording
Prior: M1 still described the revision log as a v1.7.2 design and proposed publishing revision records as a future test.
Current: M1 now records the published correction history through v1.8.2 while retaining partially implemented status.
scope_narrowing 2026-07-13
What changed: The broad thematic list is now explicitly framing rather than a supported causal package.
Why: The narrative layer could otherwise sound more evidentially mature and causally unified than the canonical registry.
Affected evidence: No individual typed evidence edge was assigned to this architecture-level revision.
Consequence: Homepage themes cannot borrow active-claim status from proximity and must defer to canonical claim and challenge records.
Prior and current wording
Prior: The homepage listed broad contemporary themes before explaining whether they were active claims context or frontier questions.
Current: The homepage now labels the list an interpretive horizon rather than a bundle of supported claims and directs readers to Claims and Challenges for current status.
taxonomy_separation 2026-07-13
REV016 — M1
What changed: The v1.9 method records how the simulated forum was disciplined and what it cannot establish while M1 remains partially implemented pending real external criticism review and failed-test response evidence.
Why: The forum needed a durable method record that preserved disagreement and prevented simulated convergence from being mistaken for evidence authority or participation.
Affected evidence: No individual typed evidence edge was assigned to this architecture-level revision.
Consequence: Forum recommendations may be implemented only with stated reasons dependencies risks and stop conditions; simulation cannot supply empirical support expert review consent affected-party legitimacy or public authorization.
Prior and current wording
Prior: M1 exposed objections gaps and corrections but did not yet encode the full forum procedure used for the v1.9 project review.
Current: M1 now anchors a public simulated-standpoint forum protocol with evidence-room tags independent openings a steelman-before-critique rule adversarial pairings a dissent ledger an affected-party absence check dual co-chair functions and seven non-numeric disposition criteria.
scope_narrowing 2026-07-13
REV017 — M1
What changed: The project now exposes one prospective-design infrastructure stub while still reporting zero prospective discriminating tests and zero results.
Why: A visible contract can make missing design decisions auditable before case selection or outcome inspection without pretending that infrastructure is a test or result.
Affected evidence: No individual typed evidence edge was assigned to this architecture-level revision.
Consequence: T001 cannot be cited as a preregistration active or completed test result evidence or support for C3 Theory F Repair-Lag Systems Theory or another substantive claim; any future design requires a new dated version and no silent amendment.
Prior and current wording
Prior: No prospective-design registry row existed for a discriminating comparison and no prospective test was registered.
Current: Under M1 T001 now records a future synthetic-versus-conventional voice-deception comparison as a design stub with infrastructure-only status and outcomes not inspected; required design fields and real review gates remain unresolved.
candidate_integration 2026-07-17
What changed: The hiatus family is a governed publication boundary and final pre-adoption closure transfer, not empirical validation, external review, release authority, or a narration/accessibility proxy.
Why: The dated closure material should be inspectable without overwriting the current Forum pairs, implying independent review, promoting a claim, or converting selectable text into an accessibility claim.
Affected evidence: No individual typed evidence edge was assigned to this architecture-level revision.
Consequence: RPT69-RPT72 add no evidence edge, case verdict, prospective event, real review, or claim-state change; v1.9 Forum and v2 completion artifacts retain their own identities and states.
Prior and current wording
Prior: The four reviewed 16 July hiatus reports existed only as a checksum-bound transfer package outside the canonical repository.
Current: The exact reviewed Markdown sources and PDF bytes are registered as a distinct report-only project-hiatus family with current-state wrappers, immutable paths, explicit topical lineage, and no invented narration.
publication_authorization 2026-07-17
What changed: This entry records a release-state and rights-map correction only; it is not theory validation, independent review, accessibility conformance, or successor visibility authority.
Why: Release facts must follow verified repository and live-origin events, while historical candidate records and substantive epistemic qualifiers remain unchanged.
Affected evidence: No individual typed evidence edge was assigned to this architecture-level revision.
Consequence: No claim, evidence edge, case verdict, prospective event, real-review state, T001 state, accessibility claim, or immutable artifact byte changes in this reconciliation.
Prior and current wording
Prior: The official website and current registries still described v2.0.0 and the Project Hiatus family as unmerged candidate material after the exact reviewed pull requests had merged and deployed.
Current: Mutable current-state documents, site sources, registries, lifecycle rows, and successor rights text now record the verified v2.0.0 release while preserving all six registered completion and hiatus PDF bytes.
