Research briefs

Durable external-research censuses. Every substantive claim carries a source URL and a publication date, and is labelled SHIPPING / CLINICAL / RESEARCH / ANNOUNCED / DEPRECATED. Gaps are declared UNVERIFIED rather than guessed.

Why this area exists. A research finding that lives in one mutable backend is not banked. These briefs are published here so they survive loss of the memory corpus, and so their claims can be checked against their sources by anyone, at any time.

This page is GENERATED by nx_research_river from the resbrief- registry — the same registry that renders the research ocean. It is not hand-edited, so this index and the library it indexes cannot drift apart. Publishing a brief adds its row; the row is what puts it on this page and in the ocean at once.

The process — standing, not optional

0CHECK IN FIRST, ALWAYS. Before ANY research session: read this index and search the corpus for the topic. If a brief exists, append to it, supersede specific claims with newer sources, or add a sub-brief that forks off it — never start a parallel brief. Re-deriving an existing brief is the redo-work failure this process exists to end.
AARCHIVE EVERY CITATION — no link rot. At publish time every external URL a brief cites is ingested into the sovereign library, so the CONTENT survives the link. The live URL stays for attribution; the library copy is the durable evidence. VERIFY each ingest landed by searching for it — an ingest acknowledgement is not an index entry.
MFEED THE MINERS. Briefs live here as served pages so the corpus miners index them — publishing here IS registering the work as done. Work that exists only in a session transcript is invisible to every miner and will be redone.
RREGISTER, OR IT IS NOT PUBLISHED. A page nobody can navigate to is not published, it is merely written. The registry row is what places a brief on this index and in the ocean; writing the file is only half the act. Equally: a registry row that disagrees with what is actually served gets rendered as authority — reconcile against the filesystem, which is the oracle for what a reader can reach.

What counts as a brief here

A brief earns this area when it meets all four:

1Every substantive claim carries a source URL and a publication date.
2Each claim is labelled SHIPPING / CLINICAL / RESEARCH / ANNOUNCED / DEPRECATED — a shipped product and a preprint are not the same evidence.
3Measured numbers carry units and their measurement context (hardware, resolution, cohort, dataset).
4Everything the author could not verify is listed in a declared UNVERIFIED section rather than omitted or guessed. A brief with no declared gaps is a brief whose author did not look for them.
