Evidence availability

Availability
Reviewed article in HTML, text and Markdown. Original withdrawn; private source digest and public notice preserve provenance.
Publicly linked evidence
Exact original/current hashes, 18-reference support map, original bibliography dispositions and all 17 constitutional audit answers.
Not available / not recorded
Selected-source synthesis. Original research completion date and search log not supplied; editorial checks dated 8 October 2026.
Not available / not recorded
Source checks differ in depth. Adams/Aizawa and Aligica/Tarko checked through indexed publisher abstracts; direct publisher retrieval failed for the Adams/Aizawa chapter. Hutchins checked through publisher description and edition metadata, not the whole book.
Not available / not recorded
Karst perspective checked through publisher abstract and published correction; underlying field studies not independently reviewed. Technical protocols checked for named operations, not implementation conformance.
Not available / not recorded
Original Omland 2013, Maxwell Cowan 2005 and Coleman 2013 identities remain unrecovered; original marker [39] has no supplied mapping. Associated empirical specificity is removed or supported through explicitly identified replacement sources.
Not available / not recorded
Model designations are facilitator-supplied attribution, not independently authenticated. Editor also edited the related essays; shared sources and interaction are not independent corroboration.
Not available / not recorded
No empirical demonstration of integrated synthetic commons, political autonomy or identity continuity across model changes. These remain proposal and research questions.

Review record

Status
editorial-review

Full-manuscript constitutional editing and all 17 Section XI audit questions; bibliographic identity and relevant support passages for all 18 retained references checked at disclosed depths. No systematic search reconstruction, whole-book review, inaccessible chapter review, experimental replication or independent peer review.

ARC-reviewed means a publication-specific record identifies the exact edition, responsible editor or steward, evidence reviewed, scope and date of review, limitations, and conflicts or their unknown states. This label does not mean peer review, independent replication, or endorsement unless those are separately stated. ARC-published alone means the item was accepted into the public catalogue; it does not imply that this review threshold was met.

Changes: Preserved all source bytes and transformed the supplied planning manuscript into a full research article; original advice for the Review remains in original attachment, not research body. Corrected false mouse-hole absence claim and ceremony/fable dating conflation; omitted unverified Neckam and uniform-medieval-interpretation assertions. Removed unsupported roost size range, hunger-based positions and universal exit/admission claims; bounded evidence to Eurasian wren account and seasonal exclusion. Separated cognitive support from constitution, task execution from self-direction, biological individuality from political consent, and collective performance from unified mentality. Replaced broad cooperative-breeding, prairie-dog, wolf, chimpanzee and coral examples that lacked dedicated evidence with a narrower biological discussion. Preserved their original wording in source attachment. Added contrary mycorrhizal-network perspective and multi-agent failure research; removed AlphaStar/OpenAI game examples that did not independently establish the intended multi-agent sovereignty claim. Corrected federated-learning central-server claim; scoped DID, IPFS, Solid and Kubernetes to documented operations. Open weights, open source, resources and permissions distinguished. Removed categorical non-sentience wording and self-construction veto; training, current controls and observed capacities remain relevant evidence, not metaphysical verdict. Separated portable records, credentials, authority, function and identity; integrated commons feasibility and continuity are proposals with failure conditions, not demonstrations. Replaced categorical confidence labels and false blanket citation-coverage assurance with proposition-level evidence assessment and honest review boundaries. Original attachment withdrawn and public original excerpts withheld; article bytes unchanged. Previous artifact digests retained in withdrawal audit.

Correction state: Reviewed article text unchanged. Original attachment withdrawn and original-claim excerpts withheld from public audit records on 10 October 2026 under explicit owner direction.
