How this site works

Editorial policy

How the writing on this site is produced, labelled, dated and corrected, and how the AI assistant works.

Who writes here

The writing on this site is published under the name of Abdolmadjid Masoomi, who is responsible for it. This is a personal site: it does not sell services and carries no advertising.

Use of AI in drafting

Some drafts are produced with the help of AI models. A generated draft is created private and marked as requiring review, and nothing becomes public automatically: a piece is published only when it is explicitly marked public and has passed the site's publication gate.

Evidence labels

Every essay carries a label saying what kind of claim it makes.

Verified: Claims are checked against cited sources.

Owner-provided: Information supplied by Abdolmadjid; not independently checked.

First-person account: Written from the author's own experience.

Sourced, not independently verified: Claims cite sources, but have not been independently checked.

Research hypothesis: A proposal under investigation, not an established result.

Opinion: An argued position, not a factual report.

Forward-looking: Discusses developments that have not happened yet.

Not yet classified: The evidence status of this piece has not been recorded.

Dates

Each essay shows the date it was first published. When an essay is materially revised, it also shows the date of the latest update.

Corrections

Errors can be reported through the contact page. When a correction changes the substance of an essay, the essay's update date changes with it.

The site assistant

NEXUS is an AI assistant, not Abdolmadjid. It answers from what is published on this site and links to its sources; when the answer is not here, it says so and offers to pass a message on. Its answers can be wrong; the essays themselves are the reference.

Privacy

What happens to questions and messages is described on the privacy page.
