EDITORIAL / 003

Revisions,
not erasures.

The graph will change as better documentation and disputed evidence come to light. We intend to make consequential changes public and traceable.

PUBLIC RECORD / 1.0.0

09 October 2026 · First edition

Released the first set of ten research dossiers, the five-edge ALGOL / Simula / C / C++ graph, six source entries and a source-backed field note. No prior public correction, independent audit or reader submission is claimed.

FUTURE REVISIONS

What a correction entry must show.

Every material future revision will identify the affected edge or article ID, previous assessment, replacement assessment, evidence supporting the change, editorial review date, and any unresolved disagreement.

READER CHALLENGES

What can be challenged?

Relationship type, direction, timing, claimed influence, contributor attribution, missing context or even the graph’s visual treatment. Submit a source and describe the precise claim you contest.
