Contributor Source Atlas

Purpose

This atlas explicitly binds the historical contributors of structural kernels to verifiable public sources. It prevents the conflation of Ivan Pasev's original frameworks with the external mathematical, physical, and systems analogies used for grounding.

Source Quality Rules

Preferred source hierarchy:

1. Original paper, book, lecture, or official archive.
2. University / institutional biography.
3. Publisher or official collection.
4. Scholarly encyclopedia or trusted educational resource.
5. Public encyclopedia only as fallback context.

A source tether must state what the source is used for: vocabulary, historical context, mathematical structure, physical analogy, proof history, systems comparison, design precedent, or formalization target.

A source tether does not validate SFR by itself.
