Questions and exclusions

Required questions

1. Required question 1 (exact ID: question-1)
   Does each evidence basis, readiness level, confidence level, rationale, and locator match the frozen sources?
2. Required question 2 (exact ID: question-2)
   Are dependencies, failure modes, precursors, unknowns, Earthside benefits, and the stop gate technically and ethically bounded?
3. Required question 3 (exact ID: question-3)
   Which conclusion should be approved, revised, contested, rejected, or recused from at its current fingerprint?

Explicit exclusions

• A system packet is not a complete spacecraft design, feasibility proof, safety case, or launch authorization.
• Context sources do not become direct support unless the record says so with an exact locator and relation.

Requested controlled scopes: clinical-health, closed-loop-systems, information-science, systems-engineering

Frozen-evidence decision window: 365 days from the packet freeze. Not applicable to this packet family.

   Thesis

   Generation-ship life support must become a materially accountable industrial ecology; high water recovery alone is not closure.

   Current State

   1. ISS systems recover much of crew water and manage oxygen and carbon dioxide, while still depending on resupply and venting material.
   2. NASA achieved roughly 98% water recovery in a specific 2023 configuration; that figure does not describe food, nutrients, solid waste, or total matter.
   3. Physicochemical systems offer fast control, while biological systems can produce food and oxygen and transform or recycle some nutrient compounds and useful materials; neither can regenerate lost elements or energy.

   Unknowns

   1. Element-by-element closure, contaminant sinks, pharmaceutical residues, salts, and inaccessible deposits remain poorly bounded over decades.
   2. Membranes, catalysts, seals, sensors, and sterilization media must be locally replaceable.
   3. This English-language foundation review found no public evidence of an integrated human habitat demonstrating multigenerational material closure and recovery from severe ecological faults; the search was not systematic.

   Earth Benefits

   1. Water recovery, waste conversion, air monitoring, and nutrient recycling directly support drought resilience and remote communities.
   2. Transparent mass-balance standards can improve claims across agriculture, buildings, and circular industry.

   Dependencies

   1. ecology-food
   2. manufacturing-isru
   3. power-thermal

   Gate

   Demonstrate bounded material accounting with a declared system boundary, interval, inventories, flows, losses, maintenance media, and measurement uncertainty, plus independent emergency reserves, manual control, and recovery from contamination.

   Failure Modes

   1. Trace contaminants, microbial fouling, salt accumulation, or sensor drift silently poisons a nominally closed loop.
   2. Closely coupled air, water, waste, and thermal loops share a common failure and cannot be isolated or restarted.

   Precursors

   1. ISS environmental-control operations and increasingly closed terrestrial water, nutrient, and waste systems.
   2. Multi-year sealed-habitat trials with full mass balances, fault injection, local repair, and public negative results.

    Material-flow and mass-balance accounting methods are operational, and official materials-lifecycle programs identify transparent data and comparable measurements as important to circular decisions. Applying them can improve the auditability of agriculture, buildings, and circular-industry claims, but accounting choices, allocation rules, boundaries, uncertainty, and certification can still mislead.

    Scope Note

    Public conference paper reporting Water Recovery System configuration and operations. Its early estimate of 97–98 percent recovery is explicitly scoped to water recovered from urine after adding the Brine Processor Assembly; it is not total habitat-water, food, nutrient, waste, or matter closure.

Frozen source snapshots

Source inclusion does not determine the disposition. Reviewers must inspect the cited locator and relation, note inaccessible material, and identify stronger or conflicting evidence.

Offline packet and worksheet

Downloads contain no reviewer contact details. Downloading does not create an account or store a review response in the GShips application. Ordinary provider request or analytics logs may record the download request. Work locally: the public site has no review account, upload endpoint, or decision-submission API.

Do not paste a completed decision, identity documents, private contact data, confidential conflict evidence, medical information, controlled material, or exploit details into a public form. Until a separately authorized private handoff exists, retain the completed worksheet locally.

Packet schema · JSON · Decision-bundle schema · JSON

Validate offline

Use Node.js 22.13.0 or later. Keep the packet, worksheet, completed decision, and all six kit files together in a local directory.

1. Download the six kit files below. Complete a copy of the JSON template offline and preserve its templateFingerprint.
2. Finalize a separate output file.

   node finalize-review-decision.mjs \
     --input DRAFT.json \
     --output COMPLETED.json

   This marks the copy complete and calculates an unkeyed canonical bundle fingerprint. A fingerprint detects changes; it is not a reviewer signature.

3. Validate the packet and completed copy.

   node check-review-decisions.mjs \
     --packet PACKET.json \
     --decision COMPLETED.json

   Add another --decision for each independent reviewer.

4. Interpret the result narrowly. A zero exit proves structural consistency only. Neither command appoints or qualifies a reviewer, establishes independence, accepts a decision, or authorizes publication.
