Version	Date	Change	What changed
v3	2026-09-10	DS reference campaign batch 6 (60 entries cited, 351 slots, all filled — no reader-facing citation-pending gaps left); ~90 prose errors corrected against the sources that establish them and independently reviewed, among them social loafing attributed to Steiner (1972) where it is Latané, Williams & Harkins (1979), and Hill's 1988 random-number guessing result restated to what the experiment found rather than what the audit test later made of it; every FACT marker in these entries now carries a footnote, and each reference names the work, its link where one exists, and what it is taken to establish.	prose — detailed body (prose edited)
v2	2026-09-08	A major expansion: 61 new prime abstractions and 4,412 new domain-specific abstractions. The encyclopedia now contains 1,482 primes and 7,556 domain-specific abstractions. For the handful of entries that were pre-existing, they were audited against references to improve their their accuracy.	prose — concise body (prose edited), detailed body (prose edited)
v1	2026-08-24	First published edition.	first published edition

Editions are cut at publish time from a content hash of the entity's canonical source, so a version changes only when the content actually changed. Full canonical content for every edition, and the exact per-part diffs between them, are in the downloadable editions archive (editions_archive.jsonl); the current-state index is versions.jsonl.
