The rules behind a careful evidence map.
Spiritual Evidence Map is designed to be open-minded without being loose. The goal is not to win a worldview argument. The goal is to make sources, uncertainty, objections, and score changes visible enough that serious readers can inspect the trail.
Sources first
Claim pages should link to real papers, books, institutional pages, data references, or serious critiques. If a claim lacks usable sources, it should not pretend otherwise.
Phenomenon before interpretation
We separate what is reported or measured from what people think it means. An experience can be real as an experience without proving a larger metaphysical conclusion.
Corrections stay welcome
If a citation, summary, score, or objection is wrong, the page should be updated. Strong corrections should include a source link and the specific claim or source page affected.
Scores can change
Scores are provisional and should move when better evidence, stronger objections, replication failures, or improved methodology justify a change.
No fake balance
Balanced does not mean every side gets equal weight. It means the strongest evidence and the strongest objections are both visible.
No paid link games
Outreach should be about corrections, source quality, and useful public research maps. We do not buy links, fabricate citations, or manufacture synthetic authority.
