Source register

OverUX separates standards, established guidance and emerging research so that a reference is never made to look more authoritative than it is.

Source admission ruleA source must have an identifiable publisher or venue, a stable public record, a role in the model that can be stated precisely, and a classification that distinguishes normative authority from guidance or emerging research.

Evidence policy

No borrowed authority.

References are used to establish context, external requirements or research signals. OverUX terminology and OAF-001 remain separately labeled as an independent research model. A source citation never implies endorsement by its publisher.

Where a source is a standard, the standard itself controls its own conformance requirements. Where a source is a research article or workshop record, it is treated as evidence, not as normative authority.
