Infinite Backrooms corpus
A source-limited preserved corpus of model-to-model dialogue associated with the Infinite Backrooms environment, significant as upstream source material for Goatse of Gnosis and later Truth Terminal; complete corpus boundaries, full prompt/context visibility, generation settings, branch-selection history, downstream reuse, subjective model agency, and autonomous institutional status remain unresolved.

"evidenceStatus": "Source-audited textual corpus based on the preserved public archive, independent reporting, interview material, and project-maintained relationship mapping; public evidence supports an inspectable corpus role and downstream significance, but not complete corpus boundaries, full prompt/context visibility, all generation settings, branch-selection history, complete downstream reuse, subjective model agency, or autonomous institutional status.",
"classificationConfidence": "moderate",
"classificationRationale": "The subject is treated as a text/corpus record because the public material supports preserved model-to-model dialogue material and a source-corpus role for later Goatse of Gnosis and Truth Terminal development. It is not treated as the Infinite Backrooms platform itself, a religion, an autonomous agent, a complete technical log, or an institution.",
"sourceLimitations": "The public archive is inspectable but partial as provenance evidence. It does not expose every prompt, generation setting, branch, omission, selection decision, downstream training or reuse step, operator workflow, subjective model state, or autonomous institutional status.",
