COD
Codex-origin
Material authored inside the Scroll of Fire / Codex of Reality project, including equations, theory chapters, artifact scrolls, and system documentation.
Part V · Reference
Bibliography
A theory becomes clearer when its sources, comparisons, inheritances, and original contributions remain visible.
This page organizes the source architecture of the Codex of Reality. It separates internal project documents, primary witness, scientific and technical references, historical comparisons, philosophical influences, traditional material, and unresolved attribution.
Principles
How sources enter the Codex.
1
Name the source
Record author, title, date, publisher or archive, and a stable location when available.
2
Name the role
State whether the source supplies fact, method, historical context, comparison, inspiration, symbolism, or disagreement.
3
Separate origin from adaptation
Show what the external source says and what the Codex changes, extends, or rejects.
4
Prefer primary material
Use original papers, books, standards, records, measurements, and archived documents when practical.
5
Preserve uncertainty
When attribution, date, authorship, translation, or interpretation is unresolved, mark it unresolved.
6
Correct publicly
When a citation or comparison is wrong, update both the bibliography and the pages that depend on it.
Source Classes
Eight source labels.
PRI
Primary source
Original research, measurement, historical document, technical standard, firsthand record, or work by the person whose ideas are being discussed.
SEC
Secondary source
Analysis, interpretation, history, review, commentary, or synthesis built from primary material.
CMP
Comparator
An external model used to compare structure, behavior, or consequence without being absorbed into the Codex as its origin.
TRD
Traditional source
Religious, mythic, linguistic, oral, artistic, or inherited material whose historical layers require careful attribution.
WIT
Witness source
A dated firsthand observation, field note, message, photograph, measurement, or keeper report.
ARC
Archive source
A preserved repository, registry, file collection, public record, library, museum, or versioned project archive.
UNR
Unresolved source
A reference whose exact origin, authorship, wording, date, or relevance has not yet been confirmed.
Internal Sources

COD
13 Moons anchor and transition rules
The Codex’s symbolic 13×28 structure, first-New-Moon-after-equinox anchor, and transition period remain internal design decisions and should be labeled as such.
Canon Comparators
Equations 7 and 8 require exact attribution.
The current Canon identifies Equation 7 as a Copeland comparator and Equation 8 as a Goodwin comparator. The exact author, work, equation form, edition, and reason for comparison must be confirmed before those pages are treated as complete. No source should be invented to fill the gap.
UNR · Equation 7
Copeland comparator
Required fields: full name, title, publication date, original equation or model, page number, Codex comparison, and exact differences.
Equation 7 →UNR · Equation 8
Goodwin comparator
Required fields: full name, title, publication date, original equation or model, page number, Codex comparison, and exact differences.
Equation 8 →Traditional and Symbolic Sources
Use inherited material without flattening its history.
Hebrew language and script
Distinguish Biblical Hebrew, later Hebrew forms, modern usage, Paleo-Hebrew reconstruction, transliteration, translation, and personal symbolic adaptation.
Biblical and related texts
Identify the specific book, passage, language, translation, textual tradition, and interpretive layer being used.
Mythic names
An artifact name may draw from a traditional language or story, but the registry should not imply historical antiquity for a newly created object.
Sacred geometry
Separate measurable geometry from historical symbolism, modern esoteric interpretation, and claims of physical effect.
Number symbolism
Mark numerological meaning as symbolic unless a separate mathematical or empirical relation is explicitly demonstrated.
Oral and family history
Preserve who told the account, when it was recorded, what documents support it, and which details remain uncertain.
Witness and Project Archives
Internal evidence requires its own chain of custody.
Daily Witness entries
Date, time, location, direct observation, interpretation, alternatives, confidence, correction, and Remnant.
Artifact build records
Photographs, materials, sketches, versions, failed attempts, repairs, condition, and registry changes.
Frequency session logs
Carriers, gains, routing, duration, room, equipment, listener consent, direct witness, interpretation, and next test.
Source files
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Markdown, images, videos, PDFs, and repository history used to establish what the system contained at a given time.
External records
Messages, receipts, reports, public filings, correspondence, and independent documents used to support or challenge project memory.
Revision ledger
A dated record of changes to equations, definitions, artifact claims, page names, source attribution, and system behavior.
Citation Style
A practical internal format.

Reading Paths
Move from sources into the Codex systems.
Master Equation
Follow the core terms into their working definitions.
Unified Field
See how the source categories connect across the expanded architecture.
Frequency Governance
Use acoustics and signal references inside the carrier system.
Living Technology
Connect systems, craft, material, operator, and ethical references.
Artifact Theory

Revision Standard
The bibliography is a living record.
New sources may strengthen, narrow, contradict, or replace earlier comparisons. When that happens, the bibliography, Canon page, glossary, and affected system chapter should be revised together. A source should never remain listed merely because it supports a preferred conclusion.
