● ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

How a city's canon is decided.

No editor chooses it. No curator writes it. The canon of every city is a deterministic function of the collective vote — every step logged, hashed, and visible. The walk-through below uses a sample day to show that method end to end; live per-day archives open once the canon pipeline ships.

Admin events on this canon

No admin actions today.

If any admin pauses, flags, or overrides this canon, it appears here — with a reason, a timestamp, and a named actor. Silently modifying a canon is technically impossible by design.

● CLEAR last event: never

Sample format (not real — Lagos has no events today): "00:04 WAT · admin elena.k paused canon for 14 min · reason: brigading detected (IP cluster 102.89.xx) · resumed 00:18 · canon rebuilt with exclusion bundle · audit ID #2026-03-14-NG-LAGOS-001"

See something wrong with this canon?

Flag it. Appeals to a different admin than the one who ruled. 72-hour SLA. Outcome is also logged here, publicly.
