Source boundary · evidence boundary

BASELINE START POINT ONLY. The exact workbook and WIP.30 normalized scenario register remain preserved. A source URL and source note establish only the supplied provenance relationship. They do not authenticate the source, verify a scenario premise, calibrate a probability, validate warning indicators, prove consequence paths, authorize monitoring, or support operational action. The public interface preserves these exact labels: HISTORICAL RECORD ENDS AT 2026-07-24; FICTIONAL SCENARIO — NOT HISTORICAL, NOT A FORECAST; SOURCE-AUTHORED ANALYTICAL ESTIMATE — NOT CALIBRATED OR ADDITIVE; ILLUSTRATIVE CONSEQUENCE PATH — NOT A PREDICTION.

LEVEL 1

ORIENTATION

Why this matters

REAL-WORLD INTERPRETIVE

One-sentence brief

A future scenario can borrow the authority of a familiar institution merely by displaying its URL. Explicit lineage prevents that visual association from being mistaken for evidentiary support.

REAL-WORLD INTERPRETIVE

Three key points

A baseline source is a verification starting point, not endorsement of a fictional scenario.
Scenario premise, numerical estimate, warning indicators, and consequence path require separate review.
One source reused across many tracks remains one origin chain rather than independent corroboration.

LEVEL 2

WORKING BRIEF

Evidence, context, and limits

REAL-WORLD INTERPRETIVE

A source URL starts review

The workbook supplies nineteen distinct URLs and source notes. WIP.31 preserves those relationships and assigns each URL a stable source ID. The URL shows where review begins; it does not prove that the linked institution authored, endorsed, or calibrated any scenario.

REAL-WORLD INTERPRETIVE

One origin can feed many tracks

Several baseline URLs are reused across dozens of scenario families. Reuse increases source concentration, not corroboration. Every track mapped to the same source remains part of one origin chain until independent evidence is added.

REAL-WORLD INTERPRETIVE

Review the support scope

A climate, conflict, cyber, energy, health, or governance publication may support a broad domain baseline while providing no support for a specific fictional trigger, annual probability, named consequence, or date. Those propositions must be reviewed separately.

REAL-WORLD INTERPRETIVE

Stable source and track identifiers

Source IDs, review IDs, track IDs, scenario IDs, source rows, year anchors, and deep links allow corrections to propagate without changing the preserved workbook.

REAL-WORLD INTERPRETIVE

No institutional endorsement

Public wording must say that the source was used as a baseline start point. It must not imply that the institution predicts the scenario, agrees with the probability, or recommends the consequence path.

LEVEL 3

COMPLETE DOSSIER

Limitations, game links, and review context

DISPUTED / MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS

Known limitations and gaps

The source workbook is preserved but not authenticated as an institutional forecast or intelligence product.
Source URLs are start points; their content and currentness were not independently verified in WIP.31.
No scenario premise, probability sequence, warning indicator, or consequence path is certified by this docket.
The docket records no reviewer identity, assignment, specialist disposition, publication approval, production approval, activation, or tuning authority.
The interface provides no private-person monitoring, target selection, cyber operation, surveillance, casualty optimization, or individualized persuasion capability.

Scenario evidence treatment matrix
Question	Acceptable treatment	Prohibited implication
Source URL	Describe as a baseline start point with stable source ID.	Institutional endorsement or prediction.
Repeated use	Count as one shared origin chain.	Multiple independent confirmations.
Source note	Preserve as supplied and review separately.	Proof that every scenario detail follows from the source.
Correction	Update the sidecar review record and dependent routes.	Rewrite the preserved workbook silently.

Publication audit checklist

Origin count

Does the page distinguish publications from independent origins?

Pass condition: One URL reused across tracks remains one origin.

Support scope

Is broad baseline support separated from specific scenario support?

Pass condition: Premise, probability, indicators, and consequences have separate states.

Endorsement

Could readers infer that the linked institution authored the scenario?

Pass condition: The non-endorsement boundary is visible beside the URL.

Correction

Can a source relationship be corrected by stable ID?

Pass condition: Source and track records have durable identifiers and dependencies.
