Claims lead to evidence
Protocol claims link to specifications, source code, release notes or reproducible node commands whenever those records exist.
EDITORIAL METHOD
How Meridian 2140 builds reliable Bitcoin knowledge
Editorial method, source hierarchy, correction policy and the boundary between protocol facts and interpretation.
Primary before secondary
Original documents come first. Secondary sources are used for context, competing interpretation or when no adequate primary record exists.
Facts and interpretation stay separate
What the software validates, what happened in a dated record and what an economist infers are different kinds of claims. Meridian labels and writes them accordingly.
Uncertainty is visible
Estimates, disputed identities, market narratives and incomplete historical records are described as such instead of being converted into certainty.
05Publication and review workflow
- Identify the smallest claim the page needs to make.
- Find the closest original or independently reproducible evidence.
- Connect every important term to its Atlas definition and backlinks.
- Review translations for meaning, not word-for-word similarity.
- Revisit material when protocol releases, source records or factual errors require it.
06Source hierarchy
- Your own validating node or reproducible computation
- Consensus code, specifications and cryptographic standards
- Original announcements, legal records and first-party documents
- Independent technical documentation and research
- Journalism and commentary for context only
07Corrections
A material correction changes the page and its review date. Meridian does not silently preserve a known factual error for the sake of URL stability. Pages are educational references, not investment advice.
