The Correction Ledger records how consequential factual errors, clarifications, supersessions, retractions, and reviewed disputes are handled without silently rewriting the institutional record.
CORRECTIONS
Correction is strength.
A durable record does not protect its identity by protecting a broken fact. This page explains what can be corrected, what should be preserved, and what evidence makes a correction useful.
WHAT COUNTS AS A CORRECTION?
Typo
A non-substantive spelling or formatting error.
Broken link
A destination moved, vanished, or no longer supports the referenced point.
Factual correction
A verifiable statement was wrong or materially incomplete.
Attribution correction
A quote, document, author, organization, date, or source was misidentified.
Interpretive clarification
The facts remain but the wording blurred fact, inference, doctrine, or opinion.
Retraction
A claim cannot responsibly remain published in its current form.
Supersession
A newer position, version, or source replaces an older current record without pretending the older record never existed.
Disputed
A serious disagreement remains unresolved and should be visible as disagreement.
THE CORRECTION RECEIPT
Make the repair reconstructable.
Original statement
Quote or identify the exact sentence or record.
Problem
What is broken: fact, source, attribution, interpretation, date, or link?
Evidence
Provide the strongest source supporting the correction.
Correction
State the smallest accurate replacement.
Affected copies
Which pages, files, or derivative statements need review?
Disposition
Corrected, clarified, retracted, superseded, disputed, or no change.
WHAT NOT TO SEND
A correction does not need a dossier.
Do not send passwords, private keys, account credentials, unnecessary medical information, private addresses, or unrelated personal data. If a correction can be established with public evidence, use the public evidence.
PUBLIC CORRECTION LEDGER
Publication status is visible. Silence is not a correction.
This ledger carries a current correction/status record for each of the 24 first-edition Library articles. Most records report no change; others preserve a clarification or source-status correction. A status label is not evidence by itself—the record below must show what changed, what did not, and what weight the evidence now carries.
OPENVERIFIEDCORRECTEDEDITORIAL CLARIFICATIONSUPERSEDEDRETRACTEDREJECTEDNO CHANGE AFTER REVIEW
The v32 no-judgment audit found person-verdict vocabulary in prose describing cognition: “People judge danger,” “affective judgments,” and “risk judgment.”
Original publication state
The first-edition article used “People judge danger with analysis and with feeling,” described “fast affective judgments,” and referred to “risk judgment.”
Mistaken intermediate interpretation
Those phrases were scientific shorthand for appraisal and estimation, but the public wording could be read as restoring judgment as an institutional ideal inside a judgment-free publication.
v32 clarification — 2026-08-31
The article now says that people estimate danger through analysis and feeling, calls the fast process affective appraisal, and uses risk appraisal in Ministry prose. The exact title of MFTAC-SRC-0010 remains unchanged as source metadata.
Current disposition
Editorial clarification only. The propositions, source set, claim classes, confidence statements, and dependency classifications remain unchanged.
Current evidence weight
MFTAC-SRC-0009 remains essential for MFTAC-CLM-0007 and supporting for MFTAC-CLM-0008. MFTAC-SRC-0010, MFTAC-SRC-0011, and MFTAC-SRC-0012 retain their prior supporting or contextual weights.
Claim IDs
MFTAC-CLM-0007, MFTAC-CLM-0008
Remaining dispute
Risk and affect scholarship uses field-specific terminology. The Ministry may preserve exact source titles while choosing non-verdict language in its own explanation.
The v32 no-judgment audit found “suspended judgment,” “I currently judge,” and “empirical judgment” in a page whose doctrine rejects a tribunal over persons and minds.
Original publication state
MFTAC-CLM-0021 and the article description used “suspended judgment.” The article table used “I currently judge the claim more likely false,” and the body used “empirical judgment.”
Mistaken intermediate interpretation
The wording intended provisional reasoning about propositions, not moral appraisal of people, but it left the distinction implicit.
v32 clarification — 2026-08-31
The registered claim and public projections now use “suspended conclusion.” The table uses “I currently conclude,” and the body uses “empirical conclusion.”
Current disposition
Editorial clarification only. The proposition, source set, claim classes, confidence statements, and dependency classifications remain unchanged.
Current evidence weight
MFTAC-SRC-0037, MFTAC-SRC-0038, and MFTAC-SRC-0039 retain their existing supporting or contextual weights for MFTAC-CLM-0021 and MFTAC-CLM-0022. No essential dependency was created.
Claim IDs
MFTAC-CLM-0021, MFTAC-CLM-0022
Remaining dispute
The Ministry taxonomy remains an editorial research tool. Disciplinary uses of skepticism and cynicism vary, and distrust can be earned.
Voice review found clinical-service framing where the page meant to state scope, evidence limits, and reader sovereignty.
Original publication state
The registered claim opened “A non-clinical guide…” and the shared truth boundary opened “This page is educational, not clinical care.”
Mistaken intermediate interpretation
The wording treated a legitimate evidence boundary as a service-desk disclaimer and let institutional caution speak over the reader’s choice.
Clarification
The registered claim now opens “What remains when certainty leaves…” and the truth boundary now states that the page is an educational map, not a diagnosis. The article’s scope language names the page’s limits while leaving the choice of outside help with the reader.
Current disposition
Editorial clarification only. The source set, claim classes, dependency classifications, confidence statements, and propositions carried by the evidence remain unchanged.
Current evidence weight
MFTAC-SRC-0040 remains essential for MFTAC-CLM-0023 and supporting for MFTAC-CLM-0024. MFTAC-SRC-0041 and MFTAC-SRC-0042 retain their existing supporting/contextual weights.
Claim IDs
MFTAC-CLM-0023, MFTAC-CLM-0024
Remaining dispute
Research on role exit and belief disaffiliation describes patterns in groups and does not predict an individual sequence.
The v32 no-judgment audit found the truth-boundary phrase “time constraints still require judgment.”
Original publication state
The first-edition truth boundary said that source credibility, expertise, primary evidence, and time constraints still require judgment.
Mistaken intermediate interpretation
The sentence referred to human source evaluation, but “judgment” could be confused with a verdict on a person rather than a bounded assessment of a record.
v32 clarification — 2026-08-31
The public truth boundary now says that those conditions still require human evaluation.
Current disposition
Editorial clarification only. The propositions, source set, claim classes, confidence statements, and dependency classifications remain unchanged.
Current evidence weight
MFTAC-SRC-0045 remains essential for MFTAC-CLM-0027. MFTAC-SRC-0039 and MFTAC-SRC-0046 retain their existing supporting or contextual weights. No weight changed.
Claim IDs
MFTAC-CLM-0027, MFTAC-CLM-0028
Remaining dispute
Lateral reading and SIFT remain useful methods rather than guarantees. Expertise, time, and incomplete evidence still constrain the result.
v20 source-status review overgeneralized NIST’s withdrawn record and treated the whole SP 800-34 Rev. 1 publication as withdrawn.
Review state
Corrected after resolving NIST’s initial and updated Rev. 1 records on 2026-08-30.
Disposition
NIST CSRC shows the 05/31/2010 Rev. 1 record as withdrawn because it was superseded by the updated 11/11/2010 Rev. 1 record. The ledger now points to the updated Final record. MFTAC-SRC-0056 remains supporting—not essential—because the Ministry proposition is independently supported by other sources.
Claim IDs
MFTAC-CLM-0037, MFTAC-CLM-0038
Remaining dispute
No distinct NIST publication was established as a formal superseding replacement for the updated 11/11/2010 Rev. 1 record. Adjacent current recovery materials should not be called replacements without an explicit supersession relationship.
Previous statement
v20 described SP 800-34 Rev. 1 as withdrawn historical guidance and reduced dependency weight on that basis.
Original publication state
At first-edition publication, no post-publication correction had been recorded for this article.
v20 mistaken interpretation
The v20 maintenance pass treated all of NIST SP 800-34 Rev. 1 as withdrawn historical guidance after reading the withdrawal marker on the initial 05/31/2010 record.
v21 correction
The next pass resolved NIST’s record lineage: the initial 05/31/2010 Rev. 1 record was withdrawn because the updated 11/11/2010 Rev. 1 record superseded it; the updated record is Final.
Current disposition
MFTAC-SRC-0056 points to NIST’s updated 11/11/2010 Final record. Its dependency remains supporting rather than essential because the Ministry proposition is independently supported by other sources; that dependency decision is separate from the corrected source-status error.
Current evidence weight
Supporting for MFTAC-CLM-0037 and MFTAC-CLM-0038. No essential dependency is created by this source-status correction.
CORRECTED SOURCE STATUS + EDITORIAL CLARIFICATIONMFTAC-CORR-0020
v20 source-status review overgeneralized NIST’s withdrawn record and treated the whole SP 800-34 Rev. 1 publication as withdrawn. The v28 voice review also found that the registered declaration “LIGHT THE SAFE TEST” used an undefined institutional safety label where the page actually meant a named failure test.
Review state
Source status corrected after resolving NIST’s initial and updated Rev. 1 records on 2026-08-30; declaration wording clarified in v28 without changing its proposition, sources, confidence, dependency classes, or evidence weight.
Disposition
NIST CSRC shows the 05/31/2010 Rev. 1 record as withdrawn because it was superseded by the updated 11/11/2010 Rev. 1 record. The ledger points to the updated Final record. The declaration now says “LIGHT THE FAILURE TEST” because the six tests expose named dependency failures rather than granting an undefined condition of safety. MFTAC-SRC-0056 remains supporting—not essential—because the Ministry proposition is independently supported by other sources.
Claim IDs
MFTAC-CLM-0039, MFTAC-CLM-0040
Remaining dispute
No distinct NIST publication was established as a formal superseding replacement for the updated 11/11/2010 Rev. 1 record. Adjacent current recovery materials should not be called replacements without an explicit supersession relationship. The Six Fires remain a Ministry diagnostic framework, not a validated scientific taxonomy.
Previous statement
v20 described SP 800-34 Rev. 1 as withdrawn historical guidance and reduced dependency weight on that basis. Through v27, MFTAC-CLM-0040 said “DO NOT ASK WHETHER THE SYSTEM LOOKS RESILIENT. LIGHT THE SAFE TEST AND SEE WHAT STILL WORKS.”
Original publication state
At first-edition publication, no post-publication correction had been recorded for this article.
v20 mistaken interpretation
The v20 maintenance pass treated all of NIST SP 800-34 Rev. 1 as withdrawn historical guidance after reading the withdrawal marker on the initial 05/31/2010 record.
v21 correction
The next pass resolved NIST’s record lineage: the initial 05/31/2010 Rev. 1 record was withdrawn because the updated 11/11/2010 Rev. 1 record superseded it; the updated record is Final.
v28 editorial clarification — 2026-08-31
The declaration changed from “LIGHT THE SAFE TEST” to “LIGHT THE FAILURE TEST.” “Safe” was an undefined Ministry label; “failure” names what the six tests actually inspect. The clarification does not alter the claim’s diagnostic proposition.
Current disposition
MFTAC-SRC-0056 points to NIST’s updated 11/11/2010 Final record. Its dependency remains supporting rather than essential because the Ministry proposition is independently supported by other sources. The declaration wording is clarified; the source set, claim classes, confidence, dependency classes, and truth boundary are unchanged.
Current evidence weight
Supporting for MFTAC-CLM-0039 and MFTAC-CLM-0040. No essential dependency is created by either the source-status correction or the v28 wording clarification.
Published; no post-publication correction recorded as of 2026-08-31.

Notes
Context needed for reconstruction.
DIFFERENT REPAIRS HAVE DIFFERENT NAMES.
Correction repairs a factual or material error. Clarification makes an accurate statement less ambiguous. Supersession makes a newer version current while preserving the old record. Retraction withdraws a claim that cannot responsibly remain. Rejected records that a proposed correction was reviewed and not adopted.
SUBMIT
Point to the sentence.
The most useful correction is specific enough to reproduce: page, statement, source, problem, and proposed repair.
A changed source does not automatically erase every article that cited it.
When a Source ID is corrected, withdrawn, superseded, materially changed, or shown to have been misused, the first task is dependency review—not panic and not silence.
01
Find dependents
Locate every published article and derivative page that cites the Source ID.
02
Inspect the exact claim
Identify what proposition actually depended on the source.
03
Classify dependence
Essential, supporting, contextual, or redundant.
04
Decide the disposition
Correct, clarify, supersede, retract, reject, or leave unchanged after review.
05
Check derivatives
Inspect summaries, metadata, guides, exports, and Source Ledger notes that may have inherited the claim.
06
Record propagation
Leave a receipt of what was reviewed and what remains disputed.
TRUTH BOUNDARY
A source changing or disappearing does not prove every dependent conclusion is false. Another independent source may carry the claim, the citation may have been contextual, or the source may have moved without changing content. Dependency classification remains claim-specific.
