Live Status — Research Loop COMPLETE (10/10)
Public: https://god.olibuijr.com · The deliverable: The Answer — peer-reviewed (2 independent referees, minor revisions ×2, all addressed), 29 vault notes cited,
status: reviewed. Canon awaits Óli's read.
The answer in three sentences
Every documented religion is a datable regional development — none appears out of nothing, and none traces to a single primordial religion. The shared stories travel by three routes, unequally established: inheritance (sky father — sound-law grade) and borrowing (the Near Eastern flood — textual-dependence grade) are proven at high confidence, while independent reinvention is the best reading for specific cases but nowhere yet proven (open at Q5/Q7/Q11, with the pre-contact New World as the cleanest test — Q27). The honest picture is a braided river — many streams that split, merge, and rhyme — not one trunk.
Loop ledger (10 iterations)
| It | Work | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Audit remediation (4 agents) + 12 SVG figures | 4 criticals + majors fixed |
| 2 | Final-answer draft (Fable 5 high) | 29-note cited draft |
| 3 | 2× independent peer review (citation-fidelity + methods referees, both web-stress-tested) | minor revisions ×2, convergent findings |
| 4 | Revision (incl. crash-recovery rerun) | all required points addressed; Q27 filed |
| 5–6 | External stress-tests + cross-review | folded into reviews: 5 empirical claims held; Nongbri/Lincoln objections engaged |
| 7 | Citation/UI polish | designed note layouts, validator built |
| 8 | Second audit pass | tools/validate.ts — 96 files, 0 errors, pre-commit gate |
| 9 | Final revisions | advisor consult → Tian/Tengri hedge applied |
| 10 | Final verification | live probes + public screenshots; loop closed |

Wave 3 (when Óli wants it)
Pick off OPEN_QUESTIONS: Q27 New World convergence test bed, Q1 phylogenetic methods, gender dimension (Enheduanna!), Axial Age, ritual-first theory — then build experience #1 (time-machine-mode).
