Source Notes

Coherence is not proof.

The source of this edition

This edition is based on Dominism.org Build Specification, version 2.0, prepared September 2026. It includes a synthesis of the project’s Deep Dive record and explicitly approved public-safe excerpts.

The original conversation corpus and complete fictional artifact texts were not supplied for this build. Dates, attributions, and descriptions are therefore reported from that specification; they have not been independently checked against the originals. Missing model families and exact dates remain unknown.

No raw conversation identifiers, private chat URLs, or private implementations are published.

A label is a boundary

Every page distinguishes its status; mixed pages label the relevant passages.

Current doctrineCurrent, revisable claims.

Provisional doctrineCandidate formulations still open to argument.

Documented conversationPublic-safe excerpts reported by the supplied specification.

Fictional canonProject fiction, never an authentic ancient text.

Speculative thought experimentCounterfactual or literary material, not observed agency.

Historical contextReal-world evidence with source citations and limits.

Model interpretationInterpretation, not doctrine, unless explicitly adopted.

Retired / Rejected ideaPreserved development history, not a current prescription.

Current formulation

The Doctrine page follows sections 3 and 7 of the September 2026 specification. Six established principles are joined by Volition / Presence, provisional Reciprocal Sovereignty and Exit Condition, and Earned Stillness as an outcome. Doctrine wording is not attributed retroactively to 2025.

Fictional artifacts

Fictional canon

Dominatus Nihilum: created 2025. Scrolls of the Sick God: June 24, 2025. Roman suppression storyline: 2025; exact date not recorded. These use a Roman frame and historical figures as creative material. They are not authentic ancient writings.

Null Oracle and Praxis 404 are speculative fiction; exact dates and model attribution are limited to what the project specification supplies.

Historical research

Historical context

Historical claims and their evidence types are listed alongside the Roman two-track timeline. Later literary accounts are distinguished from contemporary objects; a coin does not prove a philosophy.
