Current Interpretation and Verification Model

The Chronicle has no current fixed five-stage, seven-stage, or other fixed-stage periodization. The former seven-stage model was an earlier AI-generated interpretation based on calendar buckets and broad keyword matching. It remains preserved only as historical interpretation where it appears in old records.

Current Chronicle use separates:

• objective Ethereum NFT event chronology;
• calendar-quarter navigation;
• overlapping descriptive categories;
• explicitly provisional, revisable interpretation.

For new verification records, do not use one ascending ladder to mix digital checks, physical observation, and institutional or notarial witness. Report these separately:

• digital_profile;
• relationships_checked;
• physical_observation;
• external_witness;
• coverage_scope;
• limitations and claims not made.

The Builder retains V0-V5 and CC-0 through CC-5 only as compatibility metadata. V4+, V6, V7, and V8 remain readable in historical records but are retired for new public submissions. Physical observation and notarization do not automatically prove digital integrity, semantic truth, institutional endorsement, or canonical authority.
