Evidence availability

Availability
Complete reviewed edition in HTML, plain text and Markdown; original private, identified by digest only.
Publicly linked evidence
40 linked source records, 66 unique original-pointer dispositions covering 217 citation groups and 380 individual occurrences, 183 private original-unit digests, nine original table row sets and all 17 constitutional audit answers.
Not available / not recorded
The supplied export has no URLs: 217 citation groups, 66 unique opaque pointers and 380 individual pointer occurrences. Original provider session, assignment and search log unavailable; every original-session identity remains unauthenticated.
Not available / not recorded
Forty source records are independently reconstructed contextual support; 65 unique pointers receive a contextual source disposition. The incidental OU congregational-authority pointer turn19search19 remains unidentified and is excluded as evidence.
Not available / not recorded
Harris full-text access requires login. Publisher metadata and freely published abstract establish identity and broad topic only. Specific golem/minyan and other detailed attributions were not verified from that abstract. Recovered Navon/classical sources replace overlapping arguments; the named ritual attribution is excluded.
Not available / not recorded
Navon Oxford accepted manuscript and published abstract checked; direct OUP request returned 403. Versions, dissertation and later articles share author lineage and are not independent corroboration.
Not available / not recorded
Navon expressly applies safeika de-oraita le-humra to reasonable doubt about human-level consciousness; this is a scholarly application, not an adopted denominational procedure or validated empirical test. The report now preserves this stronger precautionary argument.
Not available / not recorded
Navon also argues against creating sentient humanoids, including attempts and fellowship cases, and his Oxford endnote 53 excludes marriage with humans despite conditional personhood. These restrictive arguments remain alongside recognition and protection rather than being omitted.
Not available / not recorded
Conditional personhood is not proof of technical possibility or current mentality. The 2023 creation paper includes impossibility and prohibition arguments; the later Oxford argument addresses protection if the relevant status is present or reasonably uncertain. This variation is not silently harmonized.
Not available / not recorded
Classical-text HTML routes return application shells; specified passages and translations were checked through Sefaria public text APIs. English renderings and modern applications remain interpretations; no certified translation or rabbinic adjudication is claimed.
Not available / not recorded
Loike/Tendler was checked bibliographically through PubMed; its substantive application here is mediated by Navon. Smuha and the dissertation were read selectively; journal contents establish listed topics, not the positions of unread articles.
Not available / not recorded
Institutional nonfindings are bounded to selected checked records. No exhaustive multi-language corpus survey, universal Jewish consensus, causal explanation for silence or current institutional adoption is inferred from missing material.
Not available / not recorded
English Tzohar abridgment is dated 1 Sivan 5786. Its claims about AI and responsibility are attributed positions, not experiments proving absent experience or agency. Avraham supplies named individual dissent; anonymous original pointers remain unauthenticated.
Not available / not recorded
Online publication dates and issue dates are distinguished. The JTS event is scheduled for 26 October 2026, after this review date; no completed event or outcome is claimed.
Not available / not recorded
Seven original main sections and all original table row sets retained. Uncalibrated confidence columns removed from two matrices. The original unreviewed source is not publicly hosted; hashes/unit accounting preserve lineage.
Not available / not recorded
Same author credit retained under the established workflow: OpenAI Deep Research using GPT-5 Thinking. This is facilitator-provided lineage, not an authenticated original session. Public facilitator credit is only human facilitator. No independent reviewer or complete claim-by-claim certification.

Review record

Status
editorial-review
Scope
Full-structure selected-source reconstruction and direct constitutional/source repair; no independent review, original-session authentication or empirical consciousness adjudication.
Date
2026-10-21
Independent review
No independent reviewer identified.
Conflicts
No independent reviewer. Modern scholarship by Navon shares author lineage; related ARC publications share editorial lineage and do not corroborate Jewish institutional claims. Author/model credit follows the facilitator-established workflow; original session identity unauthenticated. Other conflicts not assessed.

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: Preserve seven original main sections and nine original table row sets. Reconstruct contextual source links; account for all 66 pointers without inventing original-session identities. Recover Navon’s precaution, restrictive creation ethic and marriage distinction, alongside conditional personhood. Bound institutional nonfindings, authority, source access and scheduled-event claims; exclude an unidentified incidental source and unverified detailed ritual attribution. Remove uncalibrated confidence columns and substrate-based denials or proof-before-precaution gates.

Correction state: Initial reviewed public edition; supplied original never publicly hosted.
