Weekly note, week to 2026-10-18
Disposition: stated. Provenance: weekly map run of 2026-10-18, compiled from trail-2026-10-11 to trail-2026-10-16, steer and log.md.
What moved
Disposition changes
- local-archives moved from live to stated (2026-10-11), because it was Claude's proposal rather than one of James's threads.
- farmer-mutual-telephones, havana-snet and sixteen new source pages entered as stated, because each rests on a single source and several were read only from search text.
- The three contested pages stayed contested, and each says why. macro-view lost its deglobalisation leg on James's call; its resources leg now holds as rising energy cost and the loss of cheap process routes, and fails as physical depletion. hosting-cost-claim was narrowed by his lean to surplus hardware, where the evidence so far supports an age window rather than a blanket yes. municipal-inference was not touched.
- Housekeeping today: seven pages whose bodies had gone missing (hobbies, music, apple-exit, pi-ecosystem, astrology-product, open-audio-hardware, read-aloud-pipeline) were restored from the raw seeds with their original dispositions. This is a repair, not a change of disposition.
Steer
- Item 1, resources as uneconomic extraction, was acted on in two sessions (11 and 12 Oct). Its Thanatia hop ended as a dead end because MDPI blocks the browser.
- Item 2, surplus hardware, was acted on once (14 Oct) and produced Havana's SNET and the Bashroush refurbished-server study.
- Item 3, the philosophy line, was acted on once (16 Oct) and produced Borremans and Hornborg's money proposal.
- Two open items were not acted on and are still unanswered: the Arrighi 2009 postscript, and the AI-capex-as-missing-driver hunch.
- Discovery under item 0 came mostly from side routes: farmer telephones, ENAMI, SNET and Borremans.
Lint left for James
- james-fairbairn, hermes-environment, morning-briefing and astrology-readings have no disposition. They are personal and utility pages migrated from memory, so the disposition was not guessed.
- reading-catalogue is a source page without a URL; it points to where his book list lives rather than to a web source.
- Four "dead links" are syntax examples in SCHEMA.md and log.md and were left alone.
