05 — Gaps and Open Questions

Version v0.33.62 · 25 August 2026 House rule Published unresolved. Questions for the founder go to /admin/comms.html.

Gaps (known, owned)

G1 — The full Victor register text. The pack's sources/ file is a faithful summary of the register's structure and closing argument; the full verbatim text lives with the founder (it was supplied in conversation; this environment could not retain it across a context boundary). Entry one cannot ship without it. First ask in comms.

G2 — Seven STATED entries have no corpus evidence. By design (the founder's briefing documents are pending), but the site launches with 7 of 24 entries as stubs. The mitigation is §3 of 03__: stubs are honest roadmap, with research plans published.

G3 — The founder's past publications are under-mined. The corpus scanned here is the current estate + docs.diniscruz.ai. Two decades of earlier material — the O2 Platform era blog, OWASP talks, conference decks on SlideShare, the books (e.g. his OWASP testing-era writing) — were not reachable from this environment and are exactly where the STATED influences' traces will be found. The founder's own plan ("including doing a research on my past publications or presentations on them") covers this; the research plans in the seed JSON say where to look per entry.

G4 — No influence has a complete trace table yet except Victor's. T2–T12 have evidence files, not pattern→implementation→version rows. Building each table is the site's core editorial work; the register format (01__) is the spec.

G5 — Screenshot/artwork production. Original portraits and redrawn idea-figures (04__) need an artist pass or a generation workflow the founder approves. External-site screenshots hit the same egress constraint as the wardley pack — the capture.js pattern from that pack is reusable here.

Open questions for the founder (comms threads)

Q1 — Please supply the full immediate-connection register text for /register/bret-victor/ (G1). Q2 — DISCOVERED confirmations: Luhmann, Christopher Alexander, Team Topologies/Cynefin, Vannevar Bush — do they belong? Any to demote to "corpus citation, not influence"? (The falsifiability of the site starts with you falsifying its discoveries. Design & Steve Jobs: confirmed by the founder 2026-08-25 — the first discovered→confirmed transition, before the site even exists.) Q2b — The Design entry's anchor: which artefact is canonical for you — the "Design is how it works" quote, the MP3-to-CD whiteboard story, an Apple keynote, Ive's process, a specific product? And the personal history: when did Design-with-a-capital-D become explicit in your thinking? Q3 — Briefing order for the STATED seven: which first? (Suggested: Neil Peart or music-and-band — the entries no one can research but you.) Q4 — Anchors to confirm: Kevin Kelly (What Technology Wants vs The Inevitable?), Sinek (Start With Why book vs the TED talk?), David Rice (which year's keynote recording is canonical?). Q5 — Are there influences you rejected — things everyone assumes shaped you but did not, or that you outgrew? A /register/<slug>/ with status: counter-influence would be unique on the web and very much in the site's falsifiable spirit. Q6 — Personal-history detail for T4 (graphs): where did graphs actually enter — O2's code-flow work, or earlier? Q7 — The /map/ graph: should it live here or in the graphs sibling once it becomes a G³ demonstration? (Proposal: authored here, mirrored there.)
