About Svatantrya Reader

We publish checkable translations of Trika Shaivism texts: every claim names its source bytes, its gate status, its formal status, and its witness status — and lets anyone recompute the hashes.

What we claim

Authoritative checkability, not authoritative translations. A claim page tells you what passed, what is blocked, what is unreviewed, and how to verify it yourself with curl and sha256sum. Where we could not verify something, we say so first.

What we do NOT claim

• Human review — machine-proposed until a scholar signs; reviewedBy stays null until then.
• Manuscript witnesses — 0 verified corpus-wide; every page says UNPINNED until manuscript eyes verify one.
• Proof of interpretation — Lean models check finite counts; they never prove a reading is true.
• Publication — nothing here is authorized for republication beyond its stated licence.

Rights

• Sanskrit sources are edition-labelled (largely GRETIL, non-commercial). Consult the edition source for its licence; our pages name the edition, never a licence we have not verified.
• Our English layers are quoted only from pinned bundles with provenance. Scholar essays are self-attested positions unless independently reviewed.
• Style/voice examples need an author grant (see Scholar permissions).

How this is built

Identity (openpatala) → evidence layers (translation-work) → formal models + must-fail twins (trika-x) → trace bundles + verify packs → these pages. Every hop carries bytes + hash + status. Lanes, gates and the composition contract are documented in the trika-x repo; nothing here auto-signs, auto-publishes, or auto-promotes.
