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: information-science, mission-physics, systems-engineering

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

Complete primary record set

Every record below has one primary packet owner. Decisions must bind to the exact record and packet fingerprints; a changed lesson body, evidence grade, citation, locator, source snapshot, requirement, policy, release, or commit expires the old packet.

   Thesis

   A generation ship is a civilization-scale system of systems; propulsion cannot be evaluated independently from population, maintenance, ecology, governance, arrival, and the possibility of not going.

   Current State

   1. Daedalus and Longshot are uncrewed interstellar probe studies; HERITAGE is a demographic simulation; Project Hyperion is a 2025 generation-ship design competition. Each exposes a different bounded trade, and none is a validated integrated mission.
   2. NASA systems-engineering practice supplies mature methods for requirements, interfaces, verification, risk, and lifecycle decisions.
   3. No accepted reference architecture joins technical, biological, institutional, legal, and intergenerational requirements for a crewed stellar mission.

   Unknowns

   1. The destination, cruise speed, population, industrial closure, mission duration, and arrival strategy remain architecture-driving unknowns.
   2. There is no validated way to assign requirements to people who will be born generations after departure.
   3. Economic feasibility depends on a mature Solar System industrial base that does not yet exist.

   Earth Benefits

   1. Reference architectures improve coordination among remote habitats, disaster systems, research stations, and long-lived infrastructure.
   2. Open dependency models help funders compare reversible experiments instead of rewarding disconnected grand claims.

   Dependencies

   1. propulsion
   2. life-support
   3. manufacturing-isru
   4. governance-law

   Gate

   Do not approve an irreversible mission architecture until alternatives, arrival, braking, rights, rescue limits, and whole-lifecycle maintenance have independent evidence.

   Failure Modes

   1. Requirements growth hides mass, energy, braking, logistics, and contingency costs until the design is no longer coherent.
   2. A favored reference mission crowds out safer probes, Solar System habitats, waiting, or a valid do-not-launch decision.

   Precursors

   1. Auditable requirements and digital-twin exercises for remote habitats, disaster logistics, and long-duration Solar System missions.
   2. Robotic interstellar precursor studies that close acceleration, cruise, communications, arrival, and braking budgets.

   Rationale

   The literature treats a world ship as a coupled sociotechnical system, and established systems-engineering practice requires lifecycle and interface analysis. No complete generation-ship system has been demonstrated, so this is a supported architecture rule rather than an operational result.

   A reviewed costed architecture showing credible construction, replenishment, launch, energy, labor, insurance, and lifecycle financing without a mature off-Earth industrial base—or operational evidence that such a base now exists—would materially change the conclusion.

   Readiness

   Confidence

   Rationale

   Systems architecture, resilience planning, intentional islanding, and disaster-risk frameworks are operational practices. Reusing a common reference architecture can improve shared requirements and interfaces, but benefits across remote habitats, research stations, disaster systems, and long-lived infrastructure remain context-dependent and are not demonstrated by a single comparative program.

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.
