# Future Esoteric Source Note

## Current Status

The brief names **Future Esoteric: The Unseen Realms** as a supplied reference corpus. No copy was present in the supplied attachments or project workspace during this build. The Oracle therefore preserves a dedicated ingestion slot but does not claim to have mined, summarized, quoted, or evaluated that unavailable corpus. No current card, edge, score, or evidence state depends on it.

## Intake and Rights Record

When the corpus is supplied, register the exact title, edition, creator, publisher, publication date, stable identifier, file checksum, access date, and access conditions. Record whether it is public, licensed, privately supplied for research, or restricted. Copyright ownership and access do not automatically grant quotation, redistribution, image extraction, model-training, or publication rights. Keep a source copy outside generated output when redistribution is not authorized, and expose only the metadata and compliant notes.

## Claim-Level Extraction

Create an extraction ledger with page or section location, bounded claim, speaker or tradition, material mode, proposed evidence state, target card IDs, and reviewer note. Distinguish authorial assertion, quotation of another source, community self-description, historical claim, reported experience, speculation, and symbolic teaching. Do not convert resemblance into historical influence, and do not treat a modern synthesis as the authoritative meaning of a living tradition.

## Canon Mapping

Map supported histories or community meanings to existing cards first. Create a new candidate only when its essence, archetype, evidence boundary, graph role, divinatory use, and visual silhouette are materially independent. Potential aliases belong in the existing node. Contradictory sources remain visible; ingestion may narrow or complicate a claim but may not silently delete counterevidence or upgrade an Evidence State.

## Review and Release Gate

Require rights review, source-tier assignment, tradition or community review where relevant, safety review, and a citation check that each note says no more than the source supports. Re-run content, schema, candidate, graph, safety, contradiction, and coverage validation. Compare checksums and deterministic outputs, document every changed card or edge, and publish the ingestion only in a new versioned release with a reversible migration record.
