PUBLIC EVIDENCE REGISTER

Claim Register

Consequential claims should be traceable without forcing a reader—or a machine—to reverse-engineer the whole archive.

QUICK ANSWER

In one sentence

The Claim Register is a public map of consequential Ministry propositions, showing which publication states each claim, which sources support it, how strongly those sources matter, and where correction lives.

48 CLAIMS · 24 PUBLICATIONS · PERSISTENT IDS

A Claim ID identifies a proposition across correction. It is not a truth certificate. A materially replaced proposition is superseded and receives a new ID.

PUBLIC EXPORTS

Take the register with you.

These first-party files project the same 48 Claim IDs and dependency classes in portable forms. The files carry the record; they do not certify the propositions as true.

Claim Register JSON Claim Register CSV Public Evidence Bundle

HOW TO READ THIS

Claim. Source. Boundary. Correction.

Each entry names the public proposition, its class, confidence, article, sources, dependence types, truth boundary, review state, and the kind of evidence that could change it.

TRUTH BOUNDARY

This register is an editorial audit surface. Some entries are sourced external claims; others are Ministry governance commitments, diagnostic frameworks, or philosophical interpretations. Those categories are intentionally not collapsed.

THE RULE

A CLAIM ID IS A HANDLE FOR CORRECTION, NOT A HALO OF CERTAINTY.
