The twenty-one
In the order the announcement lists them — that order is itself data, so
it survives the extractor. Each title links to the piece on worldnewsday.org, and
the last column links to the exact bytes we hold for it. The prose is not here. Read
them at the publisher; this is the description.
Beta, agent-produced. The fetching, extraction, classification and drafting here are done by software agents against frozen bytes. Nothing on this page is a legal opinion, and there has been no legal review. If you are deciding whether you may republish one of these pieces, read the terms on the piece itself and ask the publisher — that is the point we are making.
We hold all twenty-one pieces and republish none of them. Every article is linked to its original on worldnewsday.org. What is published here is the description: who wrote it, under what terms, what it links to, what words it contains. The prose belongs to the people who wrote it, and the gate on this section fails the build if twelve consecutive words of any piece appear on any page we generate.
Every number walks back to bytes we hold. Each page was fetched once, frozen to a dated snapshot in this repository and hashed with SHA-256. The counts are re-derived from those bytes by a second program before anything ships. The register → · The method →

The organisation shown after each name is taken from the role line the
piece itself prints under the byline, never looked up anywhere else, and
transcribed by hand rather than derived — a
regular expression over that prose had an author working at “Philippines”. Two of
the twenty-three role lines name only former posts, and those say so rather than guessing. The themes are the
published lexicon in data/lexicon.json run over
the article’s own prose: a theme means the piece contains those words, and nothing more
than that. The links column counts <a> tags in the article body — the
evidence the piece offers its own reader — and nothing was fetched from them.
The shape of it
For an agent
The machine surface for this table is data/corpus.json: one record per piece with its order in the announcement, slug, canonical URL, publication and modification dates, word count, byline as a list, the role line as printed, the permission statement verbatim, categories, tags, every outbound link, the schema.org types present, and the two frozen files it was built from. The article body is deliberately absent. Follow url to the publisher, who owns it and who has asked to be credited.
