# Thaumatica

> Thaumatica is the house behind Mysteria, Libra Esoterica and UAP Nexus — archives of ancient places, esoteric books and aerial phenomena. One account, one evidence standard: what is known, what is claimed, and where the two part company.

Thaumatica publishes nothing itself. It is the endorsing house behind a family of
archives of the unexplained, and it guarantees one thing about all of them: the
evidence is shown. We do not tell you what to believe. We tell you what is known,
what is claimed, and where the two part company.

## The evidence standard

01. Show the evidence — Every entry carries what it rests on — the excavation report, the archive it came from, the released document. If we cannot show you why something is in the catalog, it does not go in the catalog.
02. Grade the claim, not the reader — Confidence is recorded on the entry, in a vocabulary that is the same across every archive. You are told how far the evidence carries, and then left to draw the line yourself.
03. Keep the contested in — Disputed and rejected material stays in the catalog, labelled. An archive that removes what it disagrees with has stopped being an archive and started being an argument.

### The shared confidence vocabulary

Six grades, most confident first. Rejected material stays in the catalog, labelled,
rather than being removed from it.

- Verified: Peer-reviewed consensus: inscribed, extensively excavated, dating corroborated.
- Widely accepted: Broad scholarly acceptance, with minor debate on the details.
- Contested: Active scholarly dispute over authenticity, date, or interpretation.
- Hypothetical: Plausible, but insufficient published evidence — often known only from remote sensing or legend.
- Unverified: Claimed, but lacking peer-reviewed field verification.
- Pseudoarchaeology: Claims the scholarly community has rejected. Included and labelled, never hidden.
