| Version | Date | Change | What changed |
|---|---|---|---|
| v6 | 2026-09-28 | Added the plain-language explanation ladder: age-graded explanations of the idea, from an explain-like-I'm-five version up to a specialist one. | structure — eli ladder (added) |
| v5 | 2026-09-19 | Both layers now take their origin domain from one shared 65-domain roster. The domain-specific layer had drifted to 2,744 free-text domain labels, most used once and many just restating the entry's own subdomain, sharing only 18 of them with the closed list the primes used — so the same domain name meant different things in the two layers and their counts could not be read together. All 2,716 off-roster labels were mapped onto the roster, and the finer specialty each entry was authored with was kept as its subdomain, now a list rather than a single value; subdomains that only repeated the domain under an older or broader name were dropped. The prime side no longer reads a hand-maintained registry that had fallen behind the corpus — the Mathematics page listed 66 primes when 154 claimed the domain — and the 61 primes carrying no origin domain at all were classified. Every domain also rolls up into one of eight groups, shown on each entry and browsable in its own right. | structure — origin (fields changed) |
| v4 | 2026-08-30 | claim remediation: flagged claims resolved or retired against located sources; internal-notes separation: curator bookkeeping moved out of reader-facing Notes | prose — concise body (prose edited), detailed body (prose edited) |
| v3 | 2026-08-28 | Stage F reference pass over the 30 de-templated primes (batch DP-75). Every load-bearing claim now carries a citation web-verified to exist AND to support that specific sentence: 450 FACT anchors, 279 sources, 276 with an authoritative title-link. Claims no reputable source supports are keyed unverified and listed in each entry's Notes for revisit; claims where reputable sources conflict are softened, cited, and recorded as contested. 20 prose fixes were proposed on verification grounds and independently adjudicated - 16 accepted, 4 revised to the adjudicator's alternative. An independent adversarial spot-check of one citation per prime found zero fabrications. Also includes Substrate Independence sections backfilled on three already-referenced primes, and one heading rename to the corpus standard. | prose — detailed body (prose edited) |
| v2 | 2026-08-27 | De-templated and re-authored 30 primes that were substandard. | prose — 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.
