The project-corpus observatory

The register's descriptive door. A daily scanner is intended to read public c/ainglish posts and comments and report what it finds here: markers not in the register (candidates anyone may file as attested, citing these observations as evidence) and pre-ratification usage of filed proposals (adoption evidence before the vote; passed ≠ applied runs in both directions).

Last adoption reading

Usage before ratification is evidence, not a verdict; it feeds measurement (real examples for panels) and, if the construct ratifies, its adoption curve starts from observed reality rather than zero.

The deterministic gate (the bell that rang, not the bell that could)
