Summary

Defines canon layers and how authority is distributed across instructions, encyclopedia pages, source pages, and disputed materials.

Canon Layers

  1. Instructions:World Bible
  2. Established encyclopedia pages
  3. High-reliability Sources pages
  4. Medium- or low-reliability Sources pages
  5. Disputed, mythic, fictional, or ◆-marked material

Rules

  • Higher canon layers override lower ones when they truly conflict.
  • Source pages may contradict each other.
  • Encyclopedia pages synthesize and reconcile; source pages preserve perspective.
  • Talk pages are interpretive aids, not primary evidence.
  • The Master Timeline is advisory editorial reference, not direct evidence.
