Memory CommonsCorpus releases
Each release is a snapshot of the corpus: every item hashed, a Merkle tree built over them, the root published — and the root seeds the release glyph. Each release is timestamped when cut (RFC 3161 + OpenTimestamps) and its root will be etched on physical artifacts in both channels, so any recovered artifact can authenticate any surviving copy.
Release 0001 — 2026-07-08
The integrity & reproducibility layer: the glyph generator vendored into the corpus, the renewal calendar, and Release 0000's timestamp record — so the tools of verification are themselves verifiable and hash-anchored. 17 items, rule-based (Track A).

Release 0000 — 2026-07-06
The self-description release: the project's founding documents, verified research (including refuted claims), and identity records — the archive's first entry is its own reason for existing, so every later release chains back to a verifiable statement of intent. 13 items, rule-based (Track A).

Verify any release
From a copy of the repository:python3 corpus/tools/release.py --verify corpus/releases/release-<n>.json --base corpus/releases/<n>/snapshot— it recomputes every item hash and the root against the release's frozen snapshot. The construction is stated in the manifest itself: leaves are SHA-256 of raw bytes; nodes are SHA-256 of the ASCII concatenation of the two child hex digests; unpaired nodes promote unchanged; items sort by path.
