Source: cluster #1 from _meta/cluster-map.mddemocracy-political-theology-and-economy Scope: Stage 1 (research batch) per ADR-0022 — citation verification only, no synthesis Date: 2026-05-22 Variant: research

Summary

Stage 1 shakedown cluster. After upgrade pass and grilling-driven ADR-0022 refinement (load-bearing vs supplementary tier), 4 of 5 threads have [verified] load-bearing counter-args and are Stage-2-ready clean. 1 thread (body-of-perfected-person) has a [flagged-paywall] load-bearing and ships in Stage 2 under the CONTEXT.md L82-83 provisional disclaimer + Stage-2 REVIEW backlog entry.

Output: research-notes.md in this staging directory (becomes _meta/research/democracy-political-theology-and-economy.md on finalize).

ADR-0022 refinement (commit 8747588)

This batch surfaced a gap in ADR-0022’s original quality gate. Refinement committed during this batch:

  • Each thread has exactly one load-bearing counter-arg requiring [verified].
  • Supplementary counter-args may be [secondary].
  • A [flagged-paywall] load-bearing ships with the CONTEXT.md L82-83 “source not located — provisional” disclaimer in the ## Counter-argument section + Stage-2 REVIEW backlog entry (avoids Stage-1↔Stage-2 ping-pong).
  • The “still wrestling” mark in ## Response is for response uncertainty, not citation uncertainty.

What you’re reviewing

Read research-notes.md. For each thread’s counter-arg block, decide:

  1. Accept the 4 verified load-bearing citations for Stage-2 lift.
  2. Accept the body-of-perfected-person provisional disposition, OR supply a Cavanaugh T&E primary quote (archive.org borrow at archive.org/details/tortureeucharist0000cava) to upgrade it to clean.
  3. Supply Arendt page numbers (Penguin 1990 ed.) if you have the book — current [verified] carries chapter location only.
  4. Reject any counter-arg if you judge the verification misrepresents the source.

Hard rule honored

No fabricated page numbers. No invented quotes. Where the AI could not access primary text, the entry is flagged, not fabricated.

What’s NOT in this batch

  • No thread drafting (that’s Stage 2)
  • No parking-file mutations (Stage 2 finalize)
  • No question promotions (Stage 2)
  • No [verified] markers in _meta/parking/web-search.md yet (added at this batch’s finalize)

How to review / finalize

  1. Read research-notes.md. Optional supply: Cavanaugh T&E primary, Arendt page numbers, Grudem exact quote.
  2. Approve verified items as-is.
  3. Approve by saying “finalize the research batch” — AI will then:
    • Copy this REVIEW to _meta/batch-reviews/weave-democracy-political-theology-and-economy-research.md
    • Move research-notes.md to _meta/research/democracy-political-theology-and-economy.md (create _meta/research/ if absent)
    • Mark cluster web-search items in _meta/parking/web-search.md as [verified — see _meta/research/democracy-political-theology-and-economy.md]
    • Delete this staging directory
    • Commit
  4. Stage 2 (weaving batch) for this cluster begins next.

Open follow-ups (carry forward)

  • Working primary URL for Aquinas De Regno (current candidates broke; supplement-only impact)
  • Cavanaugh T&E primary page references (blocking-but-not-blocking per Q3-B)
  • Arendt OR page numbers (Penguin 1990 ed.) — chapter location currently suffices
