Evidence Index

How Every Claim Is Classified and Verified

The Library of Remembering uses a six-level evidence taxonomy to distinguish between what the ancient texts explicitly say, what scholarship has reconstructed, and what belongs to this project\u2019s interpretive synthesis.

Evidence Classification System

P1

Primary text explicit

The surviving text directly states or clearly narrates the claim.

P2

Primary text convergent

Two or more primary texts independently support the pattern.

H

Historical reconstruction

A reasoned reconstruction by modern scholarship.

C

Comparative interpretation

A comparison across texts, traditions, or symbols.

S

Intentional-descent synthesis

The project’s central interpretive model; persuasive but not automatically an ancient consensus.

U

Uncertain or disputed

Fragmentary, translation-dependent, polemically transmitted, or contested.

Editorial Truth Standard

  • \u2022 No fabricated quotations, manuscript references, page numbers, Coptic spellings, Greek etymologies, scholarly consensus, or bibliographic entries.

  • \u2022 The intentional-descent thesis (code S) is argued forcefully but honestly, with counterevidence included.
  • \u2022 Material tagged U (uncertain/disputed) is clearly labeled so readers understand the limitations.
