Source Tether Registry — Contributors to SFR

This page introduces SOURCE_TETHER_REGISTRY as part of Ivan Pasev's public science and systems corpus. It explains the core thesis, its relation to adjacent frameworks, and the review route for readers who want to inspect the claim structure. Where the page presents proposed theory, publication scaffolding, or formalization targets, those claims remain bounded as authorial research pending external review.

Purpose

This registry provides explicit evidentiary anchoring for the structural kernels identified in historical and contemporary contributor work. It ensures that Ivan Pasev's use of these concepts is bounded, verifiable, and free of over-extrapolation.

Source Status Taxonomy

Status	Meaning
PRIMARY_READY	primary public source identified
SECONDARY_READY	reliable secondary source identified
NEEDS_PRIMARY	primary source still required
NEEDS_SECONDARY	secondary context still required
DEFERRED	source tether deferred

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.

Required Boundary Text

All source tethers must carry the following validation boundary:

This source provides grounding and comparison. It does not validate SFR, DFT, FQFT, KBI, GILC-UKC, or any authorial discovery by itself.
