Source atlas
Follow every idea back to its origin.
Code, papers, observations and context—arranged so anyone can keep exploring with confidence.
Six ways of knowing
Read from code outward.
Each source answers a different kind of question. The atlas shows where to begin without making research feel like a legal document.
Bitcoin Static v24.0.5
Implemented protocol behavior—not real-world economic outcome.
Proportional block reward
The authored model, equations and assumptions—not observed stability.
Bitcoin: peer-to-peer electronic cash
Signatures, proof of work, incentives and probabilistic confirmation.
Ergon public website
Project intent, terminology and attributed history—not authority over source.
Ergon Lab
Public explainers, engineering evidence, research status and visual assets.
Public explorers
Time-bound views that may be incomplete or wrong—not consensus truth.
A simple habit
Ask what a source can truly tell you.
Code describes rules. Papers describe models. Explorers show a moment. None of them has to carry every kind of truth.
