We separate two distinct concepts:
* '''Document Version''' — Tracks revisions ("Which revision am I looking at?")
* '''instrument_grade''' — Communicates current calibration trustworthiness ("How reliable is this instrument right now?")


'''1. Document Version''' 
Both are recorded in the {{Admin Page Status}} template on every page.
Answers: “Which revision am I looking at?” 
Simple incrementing number that tracks changes to the page.
 
'''2. Calibration Status (Instrument Grade)''' 
Answers: “How trustworthy is this as a calibrated instrument right now?” 
This is the more important metrological signal.

Every page should maintain a short **Calibration History** section (usually in its Calibration Log) that records meaningful changes as calibration events, not just text edits.

CYCLE Calibration position — Active Development

This page is a conceptual instrument under Permanent Beta. It declares a real calibration position, not a finished product waiting to ship. Checking continues; an edit is only required when evidence demands it. Stage: Seed to Fruit.

Feedback welcome — especially clarity, failure modes, and calibration gaps. Use discussion or Contribute.

Versioning

This page establishes how The Sovereign Games tracks changes and communicates the reliability of its conceptual instruments.

Two-Axis Model

  • Document Version — Tracks revisions ("Which revision am I looking at?")
  • instrument_grade — Communicates current calibration trustworthiness ("How reliable is this instrument right now?")

Both are recorded in the


template on every page.

Versioning Scheme

  • 0.x → Early development (frequent changes expected)
  • 1.x → Stable working version
  • 2.0+ → Major revision

instrument_grade Levels

  • Experimental — Very early, high uncertainty, frequent changes
  • Development — Actively being refined, moderate stability
  • Confirmed — Self-assessed + reviewed by at least one other calibrator
  • Field Validated — Tested in real-world use with supporting evidence
  • Reference Standard Candidate — High confidence, suitable for broad reliance

These levels are implemented via the `instrument_grade` field in the Template:Admin Page Status.

Changelog Practice

Every page should maintain a short Calibration History section (usually in its Calibration Log) that records meaningful changes as calibration events.

Example:

  • 0.4 (2026-06-12) — Initial draft
  • 0.7 (2026-06-28) — Added boundary conditions
  • 1.0 (2026-07-09) — First Confirmed Rating after external review
