The Claim Ledger
The audits, family by family. Every claim gets the same treatment, whether it makes the book look good or bad.
The method in brief
Three questions, asked of every claim. What exactly does it say? — taken verbatim from the archived 1955 text, never from memory. Is it true by today’s knowledge? — the modern record, source-verified. And could its own time have known better? — judged against print available between the delivery (1934–35) and publication (1955). Then one of five grades: MATCH it got it right · RHYME it rhymes with the truth · ERA-AVAILABLE it was the best its era had · CONTRADICTED it’s wrong · UNTESTABLE nobody can check it. The full method — the era window, the riders, the sign-off rule — is on the Method page.
The wing totals
Families C through K — the science shelf (C–I) and the history wing (J–K) — sum to 924 graded assignments. Split claims are graded in split halves and counted separately, the convention used throughout. Families A and B were graded on November 2, 2026, under the project’s earlier convention and are not re-summed here; their pages stand below.
| Family | Assignments | MATCH | RHYME | ERA-AVAILABLE | CONTRADICTED | UNTESTABLE |

| D — The Foreword (Paper 0) | 13 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 5 | 3 |

| F — Paper 15, The Seven Superuniverses | 43 | 1 | 9 | 7 | 16 | 10 |
| G — Papers 41–49, the physical sciences | 70 | 0 | 18 | 24 | 24 | 4 |

The families
- Family A — The Dark Islands of Space
Dead suns known only by their gravity. The shape became cosmology’s central fact; the objects do not exist as described. - Family B — The Outer Rim
Rings of new universes at enormous distances. The galaxy count was surpassed beyond its own geography; the rings are not there. - Family C — Deep-Time Chronology
Papers 57–61. The ladder of dates back 987 billion years — and the ledger’s one square hit with the world: the solar system at four and a half billion years. - Family D — The Foreword
Paper 0. A dictionary with a physics tucked inside it — and on gravity, behind its own time. - Family E — Paper 12, The Universe of Universes
Half of it no instrument can reach. Its testable residue is small, and both entries in it fail. - Family F — Paper 15, The Seven Superuniverses
The galactic neighborhood, remainder. Where the paper reports, it reports its era; where it explains, it explains with its era’s discards. - Family G — Papers 41–49, the Physical Sciences
The most checkable science in the book — a well-stocked science shelf of its time, including two agreements published only after 1935, flagged forever. - Family H — Papers 62–66, the Evolution of Man
The first family, the six colored races, the shining city. Genetics has answered the story directly; the story’s moral outran its era. - Family I — Papers 73–82, Adam and the Violet Race
Ancient DNA finds no arrival and no violet layer. The shelf’s most testable family — 99% of its assignments could be checked. - Family J — Papers 88–92, the Beginnings of Religion
The history wing opens. The strongest survivals are careful copies of era scholarship; the hardest miss is an institution that apparently never was. - Family K — Papers 93–99, Melchizedek and the Hebrew Story
The largest family yet — 373 assignments, exactly one square hit, and a book that once argues with itself about Isaiah.
Beyond the families
The Ranked-Stock Accounting — a census of the whole book’s ranking of human peoples: 263 passages counted verbatim, 85 wording and 178 architecture, against 47 that say the opposite.
Families L–N — the historical frame of Part IV, the Jesus papers — are chartered in outline and do not exist publicly yet. Under the standing rule they will be audited one family at a time, called by name, and signed before they are published. The site never advertises work that isn’t finished.
The pattern underneath it all
So far, nothing checked required knowledge the book’s era didn’t have. Where the book agrees with modern science, it agrees the way its own decade agreed — using its decade’s numbers, its decade’s theories, sometimes its decade’s mistakes. Mostly it fails where its era failed; where it fails where its era had already succeeded, that is written down in the same ink. And one more pattern is worth naming: the closer a claim sits to something we can measure, the worse it tends to do. The safest claims in the book are the ones no instrument can reach.
