## Orientation

A public catalog of source types, report metadata, review status, limitations, corrections, and the boundary between public educational editions and protected internal research.

### Why it matters

Readers should be able to see what supports a claim, what kind of source it is, how current it is, and why some complete reports remain private while their safe lessons are published.

### Three key points

- Complete public reports keep stable heading links.
- Private technical research informs safe lessons but has no public route.
- A report can be preserved without being endorsed as canon or clinical consensus.

## Public research editions

**Primary provenance:** REAL-WORLD INTERPRETIVE

Public reports directly support intelligence literacy, evidence methods, historical context, operational psychology, mental-health literacy, character interpretation, ethics, oversight, or a game-linked case. They receive stable routes and heading anchors.

## Protected internal reports

**Primary provenance:** REAL-WORLD INTERPRETIVE

Internal implementation materials, private operational records, deployment-sensitive information, and unrelated product strategy remain protected. Useful human-centered conclusions are translated into public-safe methods and cases.

## Source quality rubric

**Primary provenance:** REAL-WORLD INTERPRETIVE

The site records source type, author or institution where known, publication date, jurisdiction, access to evidence, independence, corroboration, incentives, methodological transparency, limitations, and correction history.

## Research versus canon

**Primary provenance:** REAL-WORLD INTERPRETIVE

Research supports design decisions but does not automatically establish fictional world truth. Game canon is authored separately, and fictional records remain labeled.

## Citation and print

**Primary provenance:** REAL-WORLD INTERPRETIVE

Public research pages provide stable URLs, heading anchors, source notes, print styles, and machine-readable public metadata without exposing private memory or implementation details.

## Known limitations and gaps

- Public evidence about intelligence institutions is incomplete by design and often uneven across jurisdictions.
- Historical cases can illuminate methods but should not be treated as universal templates.
- Game examples are fictional abstractions and do not establish real-world facts.

## Source notes and safety transformation

This is a complete public educational edition authored from the protected research corpus. Full internal reports remain preserved for maintainers where their original wording contains implementation strategy or operational detail that is inappropriate for the public companion. Public material intentionally omits executable intrusion, interception, evasion, coercion, document-fraud, targeting, and real-person profiling instructions.

## Review, corrections, and reuse

This WIP edition was last generated on 2026-07-18 UTC. External subject-matter, cultural, legal, accessibility, clinical, or lived-experience review remains pending wherever the review status says so. Material corrections are published in the [corrections ledger](/corrections).

Citation should identify this page as a PsychologicalWar.org public educational edition rather than as a primary historical or clinical source.
