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.

Primary Original documents and scans.

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

PKS Narrative Archive narrative (official PKS statements).

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

Derived OCR, translations, and summaries.

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

Secondary Documentaries and later commentary.

Useful for context, never used as primary proof.

Section Provenance Map

Each section below lists what evidence anchors it today. Anything not backed by primary documents is explicitly labeled on the page.

Section	Primary Anchors	Derived / Narrative	Notes
Biography	Primary records pending	PKS archive narrative	All claims labeled as PKS narrative.
Timeline	Patents, ANNO issues	PKS narrative	Only verified dates get primary badges.
Patents	PKS patent PDFs	Summaries, OCR	Summaries cite PDF scans.
Water & Forestry	Patents, ANNO issues	PKS narrative	Primary first, narrative labeled.
Implosion / Repulsine	Primary artifacts pending	PKS narrative	Explicitly marked as unverified.
IRT Handbook	Flipbook assets	Derived PDF, OCR translation	Translation labeled derived.
Documentaries	Official video files	Secondary commentary	Used for context only.

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.

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