Participation without automatic authority
The Community is for questions, cases, sources, corrections, and disciplined disagreement. Contribution and publication are separate states.
Boundary. No member statement, vote, sequence claim, or moderator action becomes doctrine or public research automatically.
Inquiry without automatic authority.
The method keeps the room open to difficult questions while separating disagreement from harmful conduct. Contributions should make a claim inspectable: name the scope, the material, rival explanations, and what could change the conclusion.
Participation stages
The first 30 days after live membership begins are readable but not postable. Orientation participation opens after 72 hours, ordinary discussion after 7 days, and higher-risk research/case submissions after 14 days or manual approval.
Conduct boundary
Harassment, slurs, dehumanization, targeted abuse, privacy violations, spam, and research used as a pretext to provoke or injure are not protected by intellectual disagreement.
Submission boundary
Nothing a member submits becomes public, canonical, or a Research Level finding automatically. Approval means “reviewed and acceptable for the next step,” not publication.
Revision is normal
Observations, inferences, hypotheses, sources, corrections, cases, and research notes can all enter review. Counterexamples and nulls are useful outcomes, not failures.
Contribution lifecycle
A post, a submission, and a publication are different states.
Community participation can page evidence and counterevidence without granting canonical status. The transition between states must remain visible.
