Volume 0 publishes the founding manifesto and two substantial proposed-method papers. They remain editorial drafts, not peer-reviewed findings. The submission desk builds a complete source-linked manuscript and saves a private draft; public submission and human review take place through a pull request.

## How review works

Submissions are pull requests. Two independent human contributors must check the sources and approve a paper before it is described as peer-reviewed. Their public review thread stays linked. AI assistance, conflicts, methods, missing data and null results must be disclosed.
