The confidence tag expresses how well-supported the content is, or how likely its overall ideas are right. This uses a scale from "impossible" to "certain", based on the Kesselman List of Estimative Words: 1. "certain" 2. "highly likely" 3. "likely" 4. "possible" 5. "unlikely" 6. "highly unlikely" 7. "remote" 8. "impossible" Even ideas that seem unlikely may be worth exploring if their potential impact is significant enough.
The importance rating distinguishes between trivial topics and those which might change your life. Using a scale from 0-10, content is ranked based on its potential impact on: - the reader - the intended audience - the world at large For example, topics about fundamental research or transformative technologies would rank 9-10, while personal reflections or minor experiments might rank 0-1.
DRAFT — recovered worldbuilding notes. Not yet reconciled against other sources. Source names this character "Shivani Baxter" rather than Astrid Baxter. Preserved verbatim. Possibly same character under different given name, possibly a separate character — decision deferred.
Shivani Baxter is a name known throughout the world, but especially in Indiana. (Source says Indiana, then Uttar Pradesh — preserved.) In Uttar Pradesh, the graphic of SB has been printed on many alley walls. It is a sign of horror and retribution for the wicked.
Shivani formally announced herself in the year ____. A voice recorder came in the mail for the police, giving them an exact play-by-play for capturing the organization called Murkt — a terrorist organization known most famously for kidnapping and arson.
At first the police were very suspicious. They thought this was some kind of trick from Murkt. In the end, the Chief of Police was able to convince the captain it was worth a shot. After capturing Murkt, the police captain announced the existence of the woman known as Shivani Baxter to be a public symbol of fear.
With the uproar of Shivani as a public symbol, the NIA stepped in. Utilizing voice recognition tools, checking vocal patterns and inflections — they were still unable to match any voice in their system.
They ran the voice through a system called MARKS, a global voice database. Still no match.
The Head of the NIA, in a statement regarding the recently named "Baxter Documents" — referring to the set of 6 letters left by Shivani Baxter for the local police force of Uttar Pradesh — referred to Shivani as "Inhumanly Sagacious." Someone that thought like no one he had ever encountered.
He went so far as to say that had he lacked the knowledge of her chastity, he could have expected Shivani to be the child of the late Sydney Lane.
