● METHOD PREVIEW · NOT LIVE DATA

How a city's canon will be decided.

No editor should choose it. No curator should write it. The canon of every city is designed as a deterministic function of the collective vote, with every step logged, hashed, and visible once the canon pipeline ships. The walk-through below uses sample numbers only to show that method end to end.

Steps 2–5 — The pipeline

Five planned steps, in order.

Vectors aggregated
00:00:14 WAT

The planned canon worker sums the 7-dimension contribution of every vote. Rate-limited IPs and flagged-for-review votes are excluded from aggregate.

hash: a3f8...c7e2 · excluded 142 votes (rate limit) · 0 votes (flagged)

Archetype calculated

The Builder · P+S lean. Prosperity 82 · Safety 71 · Tradition 68. Deterministic — same inputs → same archetype, always.

Image rendered + moderated
00:00:47 WAT

The canon pipeline is planned. Personal image generation is live separately through the account gallery; public daily canon renders are not live yet.

Published · canonical for 24 hours
00:00:49 WAT

When the canon pipeline ships, this page will refresh with each day's audit trail. Until then, this is an illustrative receipt format.

Cryptographic receipts
Vote bundle hash
sample-vote-bundle-hash
Render output hash

Canon published hash

Audit log commit

Illustrative receipt format. Live append-only hashes open with the canon-image archive.

Admin events on this canon

No admin actions today.

When the moderation backend ships, admin pauses, flags, and overrides will appear here with a reason and timestamp. Until then, this section shows the intended public format.

● CLEAR last event: never

Sample format only: "00:04 local · moderator paused canon for review · reason logged · resumed after exclusion bundle · audit ID published"

Past days

The archive.

One frozen record per day — the day's chapter, who led, what quietly paid. The past is never rewritten.

No day-stories written for this place yet — the archive begins the first night its people vote.
