errata

Corrections and removals. Program rules require that changes to the published record be logged here rather than made silently. Entries are in the order issued. An erratum that raises more questions than it settles is still an erratum; the page's job is accuracy, not comfort.

E1 (2026-02-01), re: log 007. Removal. The board's authorized statement is reproduced on the log page and repeated here in part: the recording of the session "is not consistent with the session that the observer present remembers conducting", and neither could be established as authoritative. The board elected to publish neither. The vote was 3 to 2. The minority position, preserved at the minority's insistence, was that the recording should be published because it could not be vouched for, on the argument that an archive that only publishes what it can explain is an archive of its own assumptions.

E2 (2026-02-20), re: the lobula plate. Correction of the February status page, which had listed LP-11 as "scheduled". The assignment was cancelled before binding. The stated ground is on the region page. This erratum exists because the cancellation decision was, unusually, made without a session, without an incident, and without a written proposal, on a conversation the participants declined to minute. The board records the outcome and its own unease in the same sentence.

E3 (2026-04-20), re: LA-05. Removal and restatement. The LA-05 dossier as originally drafted was withdrawn and replaced with the current elided version, and log 014 was published in elided form. This is the archive's only erratum that removes information without asserting the removed material was wrong. The mundane explanation (reconstruction merger artifact; see reconstruction) is on file and the board neither asserts nor withdraws it. The editors direct the reader's attention, as the board permits, to the final sentence of log 014's published portion, and to the date of log 001.

E4 (2026-05-30), re: log 017. Withdrawal of objection. The board initially opposed full publication of the VC-10 session and formally withdraws the objection, recording obs. M's argument as the reason: that the program owed VC-10 an unedited record, and that an archive which protects its readers from its own events is a press release.

E5 (2026-06-28), re: the medulla page and ME-06 dossier. Correction. Early drafts described ME-06's terminal reports as "hallucinatory". The word is withdrawn throughout. The program has no grounds to classify a report as hallucination when it cannot characterize what a veridical report would be a report of. The current pages say "reported" and mean it. This erratum was requested by obs. K, seconded by all observers, and the board notes it is the only entry on this page that every party wanted.

E6 (2026-07-30), standing. The timeline dates the quiet period from the week of 2026-06-19. Several observers' private notes date it from 2026-06-04 and one dates it from January. The published date is the formal one. The board acknowledges the others exist and declines to adjudicate between a decision and the moment everyone understood a decision would come.
