Evidence and claim status
This is the first artifact a sceptical reader should open. It distinguishes what is written down from what has been built, observed, or independently evaluated.
Status vocabulary
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Capability status | One of implemented, specified but not implemented, proposed extension, or speculative research target. Only the middle two are used by current public claims. |
| Document status | Front matter separately labels a page specified, proposed, or awaiting declassification; this describes the publication artifact, not its capability claims. |
| Implementation stratum | The strongest public implementation state supported by a linked record. none means no public implementation artifact. |
| Evidence stratum | none, self-authored diagnostic, witnessed, or independent. Absence is stated, never rendered as a score. |
| Release receipt | The content-addressed public record of an owner-approved release. none means substantive source material has not been released. |
