Priority claims register

37 dated first-publication anchors. One permalink page per claim, grouped by category, ordered by first date within each category. Each page carries the verbatim claim text, anchored evidence, and a plain statement of what the claim does not support.

How to read this register. Every entry is a first-publication anchor: a dated, citable point of public record. Priority is established by the date of publication, not by credential or affiliation. See the human-readable ledger view at /priority-claims, the machine-readable priority record at /research/priority/, and the raw JSON at /research/priority.json.
