Rufus Pollock and David Joseph
About this record
Only statements and connections that Rufus or David has accepted for now, selected from their working record. Their proposals, disagreements and working notes stay in that record.
What “accepted for now” means
Named people are willing to build on a statement or connection for now. It records their judgement at the time. It does not establish truth, and it does not mean everyone agrees: each item names exactly who accepted it.
Contributed is not the same as accepted
Each item records who contributed the idea and, separately, who accepted it. Ideas suggested by the AI are attributed to the AI, and only people can accept anything. Some statements were imported before contributors were recorded; they say so rather than guessing.
What isn't here
Proposed and disputed reasoning, open questions, assumptions and challenges, outcome reports, approval records and working notes stay in the working record. They are not published here.
