Walk through your first review
  1. Open the example or your source. Keep the original file alongside your saved work.
  2. Make it readable. Open Reading & image tools. Expand Adjust the view for image zoom, brightness, contrast, and background; expand Adjust reading size and spacing for text comfort.
  3. Compare one passage. Keep the original OCR. Edit Your proposed reading only where the source supports it; describe uncertainty.
  4. Choose how to read it (optional). Under Reading context, choose a starter example or your own context. Its exact version is saved with your reading.
  5. Explain and save. Add your name, passage location, and what you checked. Save the proposed reading.
  6. Invite a second check. Under Decisions & history, a reviewer or mentor records their reasoning. Disagreements stay visible.
  7. Take your work with you. Use Save as… for a review record, readable text, or PDF. Reopen the review record to replay saved steps.

Real-source exercise: read the Anniston expert report, page 61, then compare page 51. Which assumptions qualify the estimate? Record those qualifications rather than treating an estimate as a measurement. This exercise does not establish court admissibility or a historical discovery by Reckoner.

Start: Open a source or the example → compare → save your proposal with reasons. You decide; this form keeps the record.

Source

Open a document from a link

A link opens the document from its host. Upload a local copy if it will not display here.

100%
Adjust the view

The source bytes stay unchanged. Current viewing settings are captured when you save a reading. Image adjustments do not apply inside a PDF viewer.

▧

The original is your reference

Open an image or PDF.
The image stays on your device.

Compare an externally enhanced image

Keep the original above. Open an enhanced copy from your own tool below. Its file hash can be measured here; the processing method is your declaration. Do not treat newly apparent detail as confirmed source content.

No enhanced copy opened.

Matching pixel dimensions are required for the comparison slider. Matching dimensions alone do not prove alignment.

Keep the source file with your saved record. Document files are not embedded in the JSON export.

Your reading

Contribution details & uncertainty
AI assistance · not declared

State what assistance you used. This is your declaration, not verified identity or a guarantee of accuracy. Earlier records with no declaration remain marked not declared.

Reading context · none selected

Optional. A context, or lens, states how this passage should be read. Its exact version is saved with your reading, so reviewers check against the same meaning.

To save: add both readings, a source, a passage location, your name, and your reason.

A saved proposal awaits review. Names are self-declared, not authenticated identities.

Prepare an Internet Archive handoff

Prepare a local checklist for a public web capture or an authorized file upload. This form does not submit anything to Internet Archive.

A publicly reachable page is not automatically licensed for republication. See Internet Archive rights guidance.

Find supporting sources

Preview the exact query before choosing a search service. That service receives your query when you open its link. Use public titles or citations; leave private document text out.

A search result is a lead. Check the original publisher, document identity, and page before adding the result to Source URL below. Finding a page does not grant permission to republish it.

SOURCE DETAILS

The document you are reviewing

Record source facts separately from your contribution. Leave unavailable information unknown rather than filling it in.

Lexicon and lens versions describe interpretation. They never replace the preserved source wording.

People, places, subjects, events, dates and format

Record each item as the source states it; several per group are fine. Similar names are never merged, and a file type or date never identifies a source. Link entries only with an identity key you checked or with a recorded relationship under Decisions & history. Entries are saved with your next reading.

Add a named entry
Add a typed date
File format

Open a local file to measure its content signature. A file name is never used.

REVISION HISTORY

Contributions remain traceable

Replay saved steps

Step through recorded readings and reviews. Unsaved edits and unrecorded actions are not included. Replay follows recorded dependencies because device clocks may differ.

Filter saved readings by facet

Lists readings whose saved entries match exactly. Readings reachable only through a recorded relationship are listed separately, with that relationship’s review status.

Save a proposed reading to begin the history.

READING CONTEXTS

Say how a passage should be read

A context, which some people call a lens, is a named and versioned statement of meaning: what its terms mean, the rules it applies, and what a reader should check. Choose one for a reading so that others can see exactly which version you used.

Contexts stay on this device until you export them. Exporting creates a file; it does not publish or release anything. Starter examples are newly written for this form. They are not endorsed by Internet Archive or promoted for Garrison Node production use.

Definition byte budget

Optionally limit each definition to a number of UTF-8 bytes. A definition over the budget is never shortened: it cannot be saved or chosen for a new reading until someone shortens the wording or changes the budget.

Measure a BitNet token budget in a separate tab · byte storage and model token capacity are separate limits.

Archive activity and error notes

Keep a record before retrying an upload or metadata change. These are your observations; this form makes no Archive API request and verifies no service outcome.

Optional help from your own model
The reckoner works without a model. If you choose assistance, prepare a prompt for your own local or cloud model and decide where to paste it. This form makes no model API request.
Review the text before sharing. The source image is not included. Model responses remain suggestions until you explicitly apply and review them.
Your work, saved with its reasons
Keep the original reading, corrections, decisions, and who contributed. Save or print the record, reopen it later, and replay its saved steps.

Technical details for interested readers and developers
Internally, the portable evidence record is called a cairn. It preserves source context, readings, review decisions, and related records. Names and reviewer roles are self-declared in this browser-local prototype. Shared contribution queues and authenticated reviewers are future work.
A reading context corresponds to a Garrison Node microtheory (Mt). Its portable definition is a readable CycL subset. The current format, reckoner.context.cycl.v0.3, follows the native six-section order: a header with schema, provenance and filing facets; identity and inheritance with 5W1H emphasis; active concepts; rules; disambiguation hints; and doctrine references. Earlier versions keep their own format, v0.1 or v0.2. A version is identified by its ID, version number, and the SHA-256 of its exact UTF-8 bytes. Lists, facets and indexes are projections of that text. Compatibility with the native Garrison Node parser has not been verified here; it is tested separately on the owner’s machine. Open a context under Contexts to read its definition text.
