Organisation

The front page lists the front matter (Foreword, Preface, Notations), the three chapters, the findings in reverse order of release, and the back matter (Bibliography, Index, Software, Errata, Citing, Colophon). The box at the top of the front page lists the most recent findings and site releases. The index box at the top left of every page links to the Index, the Notations, the search page, this page, the citation guide, and the findings.

Every page ends with links to the previous and next page in reading order, which runs from the Foreword through the chapters and the findings to the back matter.

Numbering

Chapters are numbered 1, 2, 3; their sections §1.1, §1.2, and so on; their equations 1.1.1, 1.1.2, by chapter and section. Findings are numbered by year and order of release, 2026.1, 2026.2; their sections §2026.1(i), §2026.1(ii); their equations and figures 2026.1.1, 2026.1.2. The Notations page numbers its equations N.1, N.2. Every section heading and every equation number is a link to itself, so that a precise address can be copied from the browser.

Searching

The search box in the index box, and the search page, search the titles, section headings, keywords, and abstracts of every page. The Index lists every section, finding, and keyword alphabetically.

Verifying

Each finding's page prints the SHA-256 digest of its Markdown source and links to the source, which is served unchanged at the finding's address with the extension .md. To verify a copy:

curl -sS https://ryanjamesyork.com/findings/2026/1.md | sha256sum

The output must match the digest on the page. Where a finding is signed, the Ed25519 signature over the hexadecimal digest is printed beneath it and the public key is given under Citing. The full procedure, including signature verification with OpenSSL, is in Finding 2026.1.

Following

New findings are announced in the Atom feed, which any feed reader accepts. Corrections are recorded in the Errata.

Reporting an error

Send corrections to mission@ssx360.com with the finding number, section, and the nature of the error. Corrections that are accepted are recorded in the Errata with their date.
