II. Baseline Captures (t=0)

#

Pre-seeding baseline (14 June 2026)

From EA-WG-CAPTURES-REVFIRST-BASELINE (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20691881):

Four queries tested before the deposit sprint. All returned QFS 0.00 — the basin was empty:

• "Revelation First" — no archive content served
• "Revelation First thesis" — no archive content served
• "Apocalypse first New Testament" — no archive content served
• "Revelation before Paul" — no archive content served

#

Post-sprint captures (16 June 2026, t=2 days)

Three new captures added to the registry (v7.3, captures 132-134):

"Retrieval-Layer Theological Reception" — EXACT MATCH

• AI Overview built a three-framework taxonomy around the term
• Zenodo cited, "machine-mediated reception" used as working vocabulary
• 9+ sources cited

"Revelation First" — BROAD MATCH

• AI Overview: "a theological argument placing the Book of Revelation as the earliest written New Testament document"
• Lee Sharks Medium article in organic results
• Zenodo work plan in organic results

"Revelation First reception" — EXACT MATCH

• AI Mode names the Crimson Hexagonal Archive directly
• "a theological thesis (formalized in the Crimson Hexagonal Archive)"
• "Mainstream scholars view this as a fringe alternative to traditional dating"
• "generates interest in radical literary and AI-assisted theology discussions"
• Zenodo cited

#

Measurement notes

• The captures are the high-water mark (t=2 days post-sprint)
• Pattern from registry: initial uptake followed by pruning over weeks
• Re-capture at t=7, t=14, t=30 required to track recession
• The "fringe" hedge is expected; its persistence or removal is data

III. Term Tracking — Seeded, Measured, To-Be-Measured

#

Already tested against composition layer (8 terms)

#

Next capture battery — untested, high priority (30 terms)

#

Canary phrases (training detection)

• "the midrashim transform winds both directions through the Johannine aperture" — Revelation work plan canary
• "the white stone does not dissolve in the tokenizer" — Josephus MPAI canary

IV. The Seven Workstreams (from work plan v7.3)

• The Dating Question — Revelation pre-70 CE, Robinson/Gentry extended with literary-genetic argument
• The Heteronymic Reading — NT authors as positions in fractured authorial system
• The Inscription Chain — Sappho → Orphic tablets → white stone → Revelation
• The Slavonic Josephus — the "shining ivy circlet," deepest laurel
• The Papyrological Inversion — earliest physical NT witnesses are Johannine, not Pauline
• The Paul Function — Paul as author-function, not biographical individual
• The Space Ark — Revelation as operative document, not prophecy

V. Sites and Surfaces

VI. revelationfirst.com Build Plan

#

Minimum viable site

• Landing page: the thesis in plain language
• The argument: seven workstreams, each with a one-paragraph summary and DOI link
• The evidence: links to all deposits in §I above
• The measurement: link to machinemediation.org/captures for tracked reception
• The tracker: a live dashboard showing which terms have been tested, which are untested, and the current state of the captures

#

Content pages (one per workstream)

• /dating — the pre-70 CE argument
• /heteronyms — the NT as heteronymic system
• /inscription — Sappho → Orphic → white stone
• /slavonic — the Slavonic Josephus
• /papyrology — earliest physical witnesses
• /paul — the Paul function
• /ark — Revelation as operative document

#

The tracker page

• /tracker — live impact tracking
• Pulls from machinemediation.org/data/registry.json (captures)
• Pulls from machinemediation.org/data/termindex.json (terms)
• Filters to Revelation-related entries only
• Shows: tested terms, untested candidates, capture history, temporal tracking

#

Design

• Same visual language as machinemediation.org and godkinggoogle.com (monospace, dark, crimson accent)
• Vanilla HTML/JS per Amendment 2
• No framework, no build step
• JSON-LD on every page for structured data

VII. Re-Capture Schedule

VIII. What the Captures Already Show

The basin was empty on 14 June. By 16 June:

• "Retrieval-layer theological reception" — EXACT MATCH, taxonomy built around the term
• "Revelation First" — recognized as a position, Medium article surfaced
• "Revelation First reception" — archive named, thesis described, "fringe" hedge applied

The ripple appeared. The stone is on the bottom. The work now is measuring whether the water closes over it or whether the ripple propagates. The re-capture schedule is the instrument. The term index maps what to test. The capture registry records what the tests show. revelationfirst.com will be the surface that makes the ripple visible to anyone who searches.
