READ FROM PUBLIC DISCUSSION
The pool
Claims a model read out of public threads, each with a link to the comment it came from. Nobody judged any of it: a room certifies a link when three quarters of a group say so, and nothing here has been through that. A claim came from one comment; a link came from one comment; no path through this was asserted by anybody. What is counted is how many communities and how many distinct people — never a total, which would read as a score it has not earned. Open questions.
