PROJECT SHADOW 1.0.1 · CORRECTED R1 REFERENCE · PRELIVE · 2026-08-17

Project Shadow 1.0.1 contains no Myth package. Generic Myth v0.2.0 and Full-Canon Myth v0.3.5 are separate optional companions; both default off, neither is required by R1, and neither can authorize action or change an R1 result. ARM remains a civic repair workshop, not a certification service; publication transfers no authority and is not operational deployment, efficacy, safety, certification, a legal-compliance finding, permission to act, or a global green.

CHAMBER 04 / PUBLIC-POWER TEST

Agreeing is not the same as proving.

Start with a ten-question values map. Then define one exact candidate, office, jurisdiction, cycle, claim, and review scope before testing it through eight evidence lenses, six non-averageable hard stops, a public formula, and a local receipt you can challenge or correct.

Know the baseline. Scope the claim. Inspect the record.

The quick path tells you how your answers map to this Manual's openly published values. The complete path tests a candidate's words, record, funding, contradictions, foreseeable harm, consistency, and correction history. Neither produces an endorsement.

VIEWPOINT DISCLOSUREValues-driven. Evidence-disciplined. The scoring map is public.

Authored by Phillip Linstrum from a real democratic-socialist perspective: democracy should reach the economy; workers deserve power; essential needs should not be held hostage by private profit; markets and small businesses can exist; and concentrated wealth must not be able to buy public power. The evidence rules are the same for every candidate.

START STATEBlank by default. Nothing is preselected.

Client-side only. Demonstrations are invented fixtures—not real candidates, claims, or findings.

01 / QUICK PATH

Map your values first.

This measures alignment with the Manual’s published baseline—not whether your politics are “correct,” and not how any candidate scores. Answer at least eight for a profile.

V1 · QUESTION 1 OF 10Democracy and money

Should public policy prevent concentrated wealth—whether billionaire, corporate, or foreign—from buying greater political power than ordinary voters have?

REQUIRED RECEIPTPublish the review scope, formula, unknowns, N/A rationales, hard-stop checks, sources, timestamp, and correction invitation—not just the label.

Boundary: this is not a neutral oracle, endorsement, voting instruction, fact-checking service, legal conclusion, or official Civic QA review. It creates a local, user-generated receipt. Its FNV-1a change ID is not a cryptographic signature, authentication, or custody proof. Unknown stays unknown; different reviewers may reasonably disagree; preserve the source trail and correction path.
