If the named phenomena prove to be different things sharing only a family resemblance, the table overstates the convergence; a study measuring several of them in the same people and groups is not yet found; not yet known whether it will be 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.)

If the named phenomena prove to be different things sharing only a family resemblance, the table overstates the convergence; a study measuring several of them in the same people and groups is not yet found; not yet known whether it will be found
Cited on: /the-hive-mind, OTHER NAMES › What the names add, and what they don't. THE PAGE'S OWN GRADE LINE READS: "not yet found; not yet known whether it will be found". Entered 2026-10-12 with the /the-hive-mind rewrite; tag NEW-W4a-5.
3. What it rests on
-
The falsifier: if the named phenomena prove to be different things that share only a family resemblance, the table overstates the convergence. The test is to measure several of them in the same people and groups and see whether they travel together. That study is not yet found; not yet known whether it will be found. Until then, read each row as one observer's report, and read it first against yourself and your own side.

- HSRP-412 · AUTHOR'S POSITION · THE AUTHOR'S DETERMINATION (the author's position): the line has been crossed. The author sets the model of institutionalized necrophilia beside the research as a determinant condition. His argument: a government that claims to rule a people because they cannot rule themselves, citing their immorality, must draw from that same stock the individuals who decide how it acts; absent morality within the institution, and having embodied the necrophilia harbored in the individuals of the population, the government is in a position and on a trajectory to devolve, and has thus crossed the line. Texts set beside the argument, each established as a text: Jefferson's First Inaugural (1801), Plato's Republic VIII, Federalist No. 55, John Adams to the Massachusetts Militia (1798) and Polybius VI.9. Necrophilia is Erich Fromm's term for an orientation of character in a person (Fromm, "Creators and Destroyers", 1964); its application to institutions is this project's model, and none of the texts quoted establishes that model. Polybius's own caution is kept: the stage of decline can be read, the time cannot, so the page names no date. The duty that follows is stated as the author's: to act on that knowledge, righteously and by lawful means, under a judgment that belongs to God (Acts 5:29); Nuremberg Principle IV is cited as a parallel only. The site's rule stands beside it: this is a moral judgment and no defense in any court (United States v. Benabe).Relation: not recorded

- HSRP-588 · PROBABLE · Real persecution mixes the forms: in a German police battalion and in Rwanda many killed without believing their victims guilty, out of fear, conformity and pressure from their own side.Relation: not recorded
