-
1The Codex's prosecution was a clearing operation, and a prosecution that never builds is arson with footnotes, the recovery, not the indictment, is the point of the volume.
-
2Four inheritances were overwritten in the making of Western religion.
-
3Almost nothing on the ledger was destroyed; it was de-prioritized until civilizations forgot they had held it, forgetting is cheaper than burning, and more complete.
-
4Zoroastrianism is a living religion with roughly 100,000-200,000 adherents worldwide.
-
5The Indian Parsi population fell from roughly 114,000 in 1941 to 57,264 in the 2011 census, and the Government of India runs a fertility program to slow the decline.
-
6Zoroastrians are constitutionally recognized in Iran under Article 13 with one reserved parliamentary seat, and recognition has a documented ceiling, the Sepanta Niknam case of 2017-18 is the receipt.
-
7The Foundation of Asha is named with a Zoroastrian word belonging to a living community that owes this project nothing, and the debt is stated by name, in the sentence.
-
8Judaism canonized its own dissent.
-
9Judaism's own suppressions were real, and the difference from Rome's is primarily a difference of available force, not of virtue.
-
10Greek philosophy was never refuted; it was defunded and legislated shut, and the proof is that it flourished in every jurisdiction that did not apply the pressure.
-
11A Zoroastrian king gave the last Athenian philosophers asylum and wrote their protection into the peace treaty of 532, a documented fact, and the sharpest single reversal in this Codex.
-
12The Abbasid translation movement ran on a restitution narrative.
-
13"The church" is not one thing: Eastern Orthodoxy kept theosis, the Church of the East produced Isaac of Nineveh's remedial eschatology, Ethiopian Orthodoxy alone preserved the complete 1 Enoch.
-
14Every monopoly grew a depth-tradition it could not fully suppress, and what each institution did with its mystics scales exactly with the coercive power it had.
-
15The Foundation audits heresy verdicts rather than canonizing everyone Rome burned, and it declines to rehabilitate Marcion and cosmos-hating gnosticism.
-
16Institutional latency, the interval between a verdict being demonstrably wrong and the institution saying so, runs to centuries and clusters by cost.
-
17Restitution here is epistemic and therefore paid in citations.
-
18"Intertestamental development" is a laundering phrase, not false, but agentless, and the rule that replaces it is to name the source tradition in the claim itself at the tier the evidence supports.
-
19Five claims are jointly held by the recovered traditions.
-
20This is a convergence report and not perennialism.
-
21The Foundation is a party in this case and submits to its own instrument.
Add a claim
Anyone may add. Nobody may edit somebody else's line: if you think it is wrong, fight it. Keep it to one proposition, because that exact sentence becomes the motion when somebody disputes it.
Opening a war costs 25 gold and wins 50. You pick the arms: argue it in the Academy, or settle it at a game. Losing burns the deposit, which is why the button is not free. Whoever defends the line is paid by whichever engine judged them, and the house takes the podium if nobody else does, so no claim goes undefended. "Argue it now" is the free door: the line becomes the motion of a judged duel against the house, with no account and no gold, and the page keeps no record of it.
