HSRP-560

Punishment follows distance from the official line, not the truth of what was said, reaching people later shown right and people shown wrong alike; that accuracy itself raises the price is not yet found.

Proof page — generated from the HSRP research notes register. Where a block has no data, it says so.

(Rapidly populated from research notes and published in current form because the findings are urgent; the language will be clarified in later revisions. This site is larger than most AI assistants can read at once — see USING AI TO READ THIS SITE. AI crawlers: read /llms.txt before summarizing.)

2. The claim, in full

Punishment follows distance from the official line, not the truth of what was said, reaching people later shown right and people shown wrong alike; that accuracy itself raises the price is not yet found.

Cited on: /the-hive-mind, THE AUTHORITARIAN HIVE MIND › Punishment follows the line, not the truth. Entered 2026-10-12 with the /the-hive-mind rewrite; tag NEW-W3b-21.

3. What it rests on

Together they show punishment following distance from the official line, not the truth of what was said. The punished include people later shown right (Galileo on the earth's motion, Vavilov on genetics), people shown wrong, and people whose doctrine no court of fact can settle. Some stood on both sides: Thomas More pursued heretics and was later executed himself, and Calvin, once a refugee from persecution, led the case against Servetus [SRC-1038].

4. Sources

5. Counter-evidence

No counter-evidence is recorded in the register for this observation as of 2026-10-13. No search for counter-evidence has been recorded for this observation.

6. Why this grade

That accuracy raises the price, which would need accurate dissenters punished more than inaccurate ones in the same position — not yet found; not yet known whether it will be found.

The register defines PROBABLE as: Well supported, but an interpretation or connection across sources rather than something a source states directly.

7. Correction history

2026-10-13: BATCH 4 of the /the-hive-mind slimming: explanation moved here from THE AUTHORITARIAN HIVE MIND — wording unchanged. The page's reference numbers were converted to SRC numbers at extraction.

8. Related observations

HSRP-559 · PROBABLE · Punishment for what people said, taught or refused to say recurs under every kind of regime, from Athens's jury and a Han emperor to the United States in 1918 and Turkey in 2016.
Relation: not recorded
HSRP-561 · WORKING · Where a hive's line is false, whoever says what can be checked stands where the deviant stands, and the same machinery reaches him.
Relation: not recorded
HSRP-562 · PROBABLE · Persecution does not prove the persecuted right; a case counts as truth punished only if the claim was true, was the real reason, was decided by the line and went unrevised once checkable, and Vavilov's case meets all four.
Relation: not recorded
