Evidence & Gaps

This archive separates primary documents from archive narrative and derived materials. Each page shows evidence tiers so readers can trace claims back to the underlying files.

PrimaryOriginal documents and scans.

Patent PDFs, ANNO issues, and official archival pages. These anchor factual claims.

PKS NarrativeArchive narrative (official PKS statements).

Preserved for completeness, but labeled as narrative until independently corroborated.

DerivedOCR, translations, and summaries.

Produced for research access only. These are not official editions.

SecondaryDocumentaries and later commentary.

Useful for context, never used as primary proof.

Primary Evidence Gaps

These are the top missing primary sources that would move the archive from narrative-heavy to primary-heavy.

  • Civil registry records for birth and death (dates + places).
  • Official employment or appointment records in forestry and waterworks.
  • Official patent office confirmations (DPMA/EPO/AT) for filing and grant dates.
  • Original 1933 edition scans of “Unsere sinnlose Arbeit.”
  • Primary drawings or lab notes for Repulsine / implosion artifacts.
  • Publication metadata for the IRT Handbook (publisher, edition, date).

Verification Queue

These tasks are scheduled for the next verification pass. Each completed item updates the claims ledger.

  1. Cross-check all patents in official patent databases and record bibliographic data.
  2. Extract and index patent figures by patent number and page.
  3. Corroborate timeline milestones against ANNO issues and archival records.
  4. Request or locate primary correspondence or reports referenced by PKS.
  5. Document legal availability for each primary work and reprint.
