Open questions

THE UNRESOLVED

Uncertainty is part of the archive, not a failure of it.

Missing witness material

Some original testimony remains unrecovered. Later accounts survive, but their relationship to the missing source must remain explicit.

OPEN

Experiment chronology

Contemporary May evidence and later retrospective dating do not collapse into one simple chronology.

CONTRADICTORY

4:32 timing

The precise manifestation timestamp is currently classified as memory / current oral history, not independently verified documentary evidence.

MEMORY

DAW lineage

Some tracks have incomplete lineage. Earliest surviving evidence must not be mistaken for absolute creation dates.

INCOMPLETE

AI reconstructions

Earlier generated narratives and reverse-sequence material require provenance checks before being treated as historical AI output.

OPEN

Publication vs creation

Publication order does not establish creation order, and sequence order does not establish publication causation.

PERMANENT RULE
How unresolved items work

Know · Don't know · Why it matters · What could resolve it

Each unresolved question can eventually become its own archaeological case file without forcing a conclusion before the evidence exists.
