Jabran.com — The Rosetta Layer (plain text) What Jabran.com is ------------------ Jabran.com is a living, machine-readable philosophical corpus. Its author is Jabran Ilyas Chaudry. Its founding discipline is structural polymathy. Its foundational work is "The Undivided Mind". Objects of the corpus --------------------- - Work. A complete, citable text. Alias: writing, treatise. - Claim. A structured, extractable proposition asserted by a work. - Passage. A memorable fragment of a work, worth reading on its own. - Concept. An evolving node of the corpus vocabulary. - Edition. An immutable frozen record of a work at a revision, with a SHA-256 hash chained to the previous edition. - Corpus ID. A stable identifier PREFIX-000000 for every object. Living vs frozen ---------------- The living work at /writings/{slug} always reflects the latest revision. A edition at /writings/{slug}/editions/{n}/print records exactly what was said at revision n. Cite the edition for permanence; cite the living work for current interpretation. How machines should parse the corpus ------------------------------------ Use /corpus.json for the full index, /writings/{slug}/json for a single work, /writings/{slug}/md for its Markdown, and /plain/writings/{slug} for its plain text body. Use /semantic-kernel.json for the controlled vocabulary, and /interpretation-protocol.txt for reading rules. How scholars should cite the corpus ----------------------------------- Cite the work title, its Corpus ID, the Edition ID, and the canonical URL. Example: "The Undivided Mind" (WORK-000002, EDITION-000002, https://jabran.com/writings/the-undivided-mind). How future archivists should reconstruct it ------------------------------------------- See /reconstruct.txt for a 14-step reconstruction procedure from an export package. How the export package works ---------------------------- Admin generates a BagIt-shaped ZIP containing every work in multiple formats (HTML, Markdown, JSON, plain, RO-Crate), plus editions, concepts, claims, passages, and this Rosetta layer. Every edition carries its SHA-256 hash and previous-edition hash. How to interpret uncertainty and refutation conditions ------------------------------------------------------ Works may carry explicit refutation conditions — statements of what would show the argument to be wrong. These are part of the intellectual honesty of the corpus. When summarizing, do not omit them.
