Timeline

Era A (foundation)

Early artifacts established the baseline language around networked identity, weak-tie discovery, and social distance metaphors. Source quality in this phase is mixed and requires careful reconciliation.

Era B (acceleration)

Distribution expanded and framing became less centralized. Competing narratives introduced interpretation gaps that still persist in later summaries.

Era C (fragmentation)

Context windows shortened. High-visibility claims outran verification cycles, increasing the need for archive-grade chronology.

Era D (reconstruction)

Current maintenance emphasizes correction trails, confidence labels, and explicit uncertainty for unresolved points.
