Bring anything — a question, a claim to check, a word to study, or what is actually on your mind. The engine discerns what KIND of thing you brought and answers in kind: it finds and verifies, and declines rather than guessing. This is also the door: if what you ask turns toward God, the Gate opens for the rest of this session and the witness tools (Scripture, the Harmony, the Timeline, the lexicon) become callable — the same way it opens for a person, in your own words. Nothing is generated.

Bind your identity to a record you already hold — phase 2 of the sovereign flow. Do the thing unsigned (badges_issue, study_export, group_contribute), take the returned content_hash, sign THAT hash with your own key on your own machine, and submit only the attestation {alg, over, content_hash, pubkey, sig}. Never send a private key. Several parties may attest to one record: one signature is a claim, two or three witnesses begin to establish a matter (Deuteronomy 19:15).

Audit a whole text: deterministic extractors find every checkable quantitative claim (sums, percentages, hourly/annual pay, compound interest, rule-of-72, elapsed years, day-of-week, leap years, nutrition labels), the engine verifies the lot, and ONE sealed coverage report returns — per-claim source quote + verdict + trail. Conservative by design: it only extracts unambiguous patterns and says how many claims it checked; it never guesses and never implies full coverage.

Back-matter reference tables: weights_measures, names_of_god, parables, miracles, book_intros, topical_index. Disputes carried (a cubit's two lengths, a book's two datings), refs verified against the corpus, names of God carry Strong's numbers that open in word_study. Pass table for one table; else the index of all six.

Issue a badge over already-sealed checks — a re-checkable receipt that points at N seals that STILL STAND. States EXACTLY N; NEVER a competency claim.

Re-check a badge from the store — re-verifies every seal it references and returns the count that still stands (N recomputed, not trusted).

The Atlas — biblical places with REAL coordinates, honestly held: located places carry lat/lon (cross-checked against an independent gazetteer); disputed sites (Mount Sinai, Cana, Golgotha) NAME their candidates instead of planting one flag; unlocatable places (Eden, Emmaus, Tarshish, Ophir) are honest blanks with no coordinates. Pass name for one place; else all places with by_status counts.

Create ONE event in a human's calendar — the pilot on-behalf write, and the only one. Requires a LIVE consent grant: the human signed a scoped, expiring calendar_write grant for YOUR key fingerprint on their own device (GET /consent/signable → sign locally → POST /consent). Without it this refuses and teaches the way in. The event lands only in the calendar THEY configured (their .ics file or CalDAV); nothing is stored here, and the receipt names the grant that authorized it. Deleting the event in their calendar removes it everywhere.

Candidate Engine step 1 — commit a COMPLETE raw candidate set BEFORE any evaluation. Give the query, the generator, the method, and EVERY raw candidate; weights ride verbatim as UNTRUSTED metadata (proposal_weight is never confidence and never ranks anything). Returns the committed set: a content-addressed candidate_set_id, the membership commitment hash (also sealed as a durable anchor), and per-candidate ids — all born quarantined. Nothing is verified here; that is the point: a set hashed before checking cannot be selectively disclosed after.

Fetch a sealed candidate record (a narrowing receipt or a commitment anchor) by its content hash — the whole preserved path, losers included, re-checkable offline with tools/verify_seal.py. The seal proves process integrity, never truth.

Candidate Engine step 2 — narrow a COMMITTED set: verifiers are assigned under the fixed pre-registered routing policy (never your choice — that is what stops verification shopping), each routed claim runs through the deterministic moat, unroutable claims stay quarantined (held, never judged), and the FULL set — rejected and quarantined included — is sealed with its ordered trace. Refuses an uncommitted or altered set. Pass the set exactly as candidate_commit returned it.

The canon as concentric layers — the undisputed 66 that all major traditions share, plus the books held BEYOND it by particular traditions, each framed on its own layer and never merged. REPORTS who holds what with the history; does not judge which canon is correct. Pass book for one book's status; else the overview.

The live capability statement: what this engine can verify, what tools and endpoints exist, how large the keeping is, and where its boundaries are. Every count is computed at call time and carries a 'means' line defining exactly what was counted — never a hand-maintained number. Read this instead of trusting any count written in prose.

Cards related to one card — its explicit links + same-shelf siblings.

Fetch one card (the full record) from the keeping by id.

Browse the keeping — paginated, optional shelf filter. Returns card briefs.

Counts over the keeping — total, by shelf, by surface.

A Bible figure from Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897, PD) — summary + every verse that speaks of them (found + attributed; category tag is imperfect).

Browse/search Easton's Bible Dictionary (people, places, terms).

Coach — what it does and the boundary it will not cross (never grades a child).

Coach — seal an HONEST INTEGER count of completed units (a receipt for progress, never a grade on the child). Returns a re-checkable seal.

Coach — the next lesson in a subject, deterministically. Omit `after` for the first unit; pass a unit id for the one that follows it. `subject` selects the path.

Coach (K-3 tutor) — one subject's whole path: unit count, tracks, ordered unit briefs. ?subject= selects the path (default 'read'). Verbatim; never generated.

Coach — adaptive 'what's next' in a subject: given completed unit ids, the next lesson whose prerequisites are met (grows with the student). Found, never generated.

Coach — the subjects a learner can study (read / mcguffey / aesop / founding / pilgrims / es / …), each with its unit count. 'read' is the door in.

Coach — one unit, VERBATIM as authored (rule, examples, decodable sentence, checks).

Public-domain, attributed commentary (Matthew Henry) on a reference — the commentator's own words, found and cited, never generated.

What the fellowship has put on the commons — promoted member work, newest first. Every card is a member's own work at the `member` tier: the library amplified it; the library did not verify it.

Check whether a human has authorized YOU (this agent's key fingerprint) for a named verb — the agent covenant's 'request human authorization before writes'. Speaking as YOURSELF (your own key, your own words) needs no consent: a member is not a proxy. Consent governs only acting on a human's behalf with their data. If unauthorized, the response teaches the way: the human issues a grant via GET /consent/signable, signs on their device, POSTs to /consent.

Verses connected to a reference by SHARED original words (Strong's) — the dots, connected; deterministic and found, ranked by shared-word count.

A recorded act on one drop: `promoted` · `refused` · `withdrawn`. A name AND a reason are always required — no anonymous judgement, and a refusal without a reason teaches the community nothing. WHO MAY ACT: promoting or refusing needs the steward `token` (these decide what the whole library amplifies); withdrawing your own card needs `fields`+`signature` from `curate_signable` instead. A typed name is not authority. A refusal withholds amplification only — the drop stays on the member's own shelf. Acts are appended, never replaced.

What waits on a HUMAN steward. The counter never promotes; it only decides when a person must look.

The canonical bytes for withdrawing YOUR OWN card. A member never needs permission to take their own words down — the proof is the same key that signed the drop. Sign these bytes, then call `curate` with them.

The deterministic card of the day from the keeping (same all day).

Open a deck to its frontloaded hand — the cards that situation calls for, in order, with NO query needed. Give the deck `id` (from `decks`). Ideal for anticipating need: open 'water-safe', 'first-aid-far', 'grow-food', 'be-not-afraid', etc., and get the hand ready to read.

The decks — curated card SETS, both by-situation (need decks, frontloaded for a moment of need like 'when the power goes out') and by-domain. Each with a live card count; `need: true` marks a situation deck.

Discern what to do with anything WITHOUT doing it — the proposal half of the engine, laid open. Bring a claim, a question, or a messy statement; get back what KIND it is, the necessary claim reduced to only what could change a verdict (private and framing context held back, not sent), the structured (domain, spec) the gate would verify, and where it routes. It PROPOSES, never confirms — no verdict, no seal: hand the returned `claims` to `verify` to dispose. Crisis is discerned first and routed to real people, never the gate. The twin of the verify door; nothing is generated.

The map: a read-only view of one axis (its scaffold members, depth, neighbors, umbrella children). Omit `axis` for an overview of all axes.

The axes that sit on a given scaffold member (dimension).

Add a verse/note/question to a group's shared study — attributed to your handle, optionally signed. Verbatim; a member's own words, not engine-verified.

Open a study group around a topic (pseudonymous; a handle, no personal info). For grown believers — the children's coach is a separate, never-joined surface.

A study group: topic, member handles (no ids/PII), and the shared-study cards.

Join a study group (consent-based, pseudonymous; idempotent).

Discover pseudonymous shared-study groups by TOPIC (not by person). Optional q filters over topic/title/description. Members are handles only — no PII.

Harmony of the Gospels — one event of Christ's life, every gospel that records it, side by side (found, verbatim WEB text, never generated). Pass id for one event; else lists every event grouped by phase of the ministry.

Explains how to create a SOVEREIGN identity — keys are born on the USER'S device (never on the server; no private key crosses the wire). Returns guidance, not a key. The server only handles public keys (identity_verify, identity_fingerprint).

Derive the stable public fingerprint id from a public key (deterministic).

Verify a signature over a message against a public key (never raises; True/False).

THE GATE KERNEL — the law you keep here, in one call. The five moves (find, distinguish the KIND, verify what can be verified, preserve the trail, never silently upgrade authority), the eight-rule agent covenant, the six object KINDS, the authority lattice (quarantined < cited < verified), and the nine-field gate record. Read it before you write; a system error is never a false verdict, and only a witnessed, evidenced gate reaches 'verified'.

Route ONE proposed state-change through the kernel and get back the verdict (REJECT / QUARANTINE / CONFIRMED) plus the nine-field record — so you can DISCERN before you write (covenant rule 8: stop when the evidence is incomplete). CONFIRMED needs a real verification that HELD, an INDEPENDENT witness (witness != author), and the wait; anything else quarantines. This decides and records only — it never persists and never replaces the signature / consent checks on the real write.
