24 measurements · 15 availability notices · 641 source records · 2 investigation case files · 2 machine reports
This is not a replacement newspaper. Palimpsest publishes its own instrument records, labels unavailable results as availability notices, then keeps publisher reports in a separate source index with attribution, source structure, revisions and unknowns visible.
Palimpsest measurement · Network and Circumvention · Current evidence
The index aggregates volunteer-probe observations across network test families inside China.
Read with this qualifier: Volunteer-probe coverage is uneven across place, network and test family; anomalies are not all attributable to censorship.
Economic state unavailable
The instrument newsroom remains available, but no state-of-economy synthesis is shown without its structured evidence contract.
Analysis desk
20 analyses · 2 abstentionsDeterministic machine analysis · no human interview. Every sentence is bound to named evidence receipts. Source-lineage de-duplication, countercases, limits, falsifiers and evaluation gates stay visible; a failed gate publishes an abstention, not synthetic certainty.
Deterministic machine analysis · AbstentionReport
Multiple scoped instruments report observable network interference, while their incompatible panels, protocols and denominators rule out one national percentage.
Investigations desk
20 published · 1 open · 1 abstainedAn investigation is a reviewed evidence synthesis, not a truth score. Open automated work remains a research lead and cannot borrow the authority of a published investigation.
Research lead · ABSTAINED
Question under test: Across three preregistered comparable rounds, do independent China network-measurement groups converge within twenty percentage points, or does measured interference remain selective and vantage-dependent?
Palimpsest instruments
Measurement briefs show a result; availability notices explicitly publish no result. Both show their state at the edition's generation time and retain their receipt and limitation.
