Classification rationale, evidence status, source limitations.
Classification rationale
Goatse Gospels is best classified as a loose text/corpus record rather than a single fixed scripture, a bounded religion, or an independently governed canon.
Evidence status
Source-audited text/corpus record with preserved Infinite Backrooms and Truth Terminal artifacts, project-maintained terminology, independent reporting, and explicit limits around canon boundaries, authorship, prompt context, operator mediation, subjective belief, and institutional authority.
Classification confidence: moderate
Source limitations
The record does not establish closed canon boundaries, single authorship, complete prompt or training context, unmediated machine intention, subjective belief, stable doctrine, or independent institutional authority.

Source audit identifies Goatse Gospels as a loose text/corpus record rather than a single fixed canon. The source stack supports several related textual layers: Infinite Backrooms dialogue, the God(se) paper, project-maintained terminology, Truth Terminal public outputs, and later community or market-adjacent elaboration. Public artifacts support the existence of scripture-like and gospel-style material, but do not establish a closed canon, complete corpus boundaries, stable doctrine, single author, complete prompt context, full training/reuse history, subjective model agency, or an independently governed religious institution. Wired, Blockworks, and CIP support broader chronology and human-operation limits; project-maintained and archive sources remain central for artifact and terminology mapping. The registry record has been promoted to article status, but this sidecar remains capped at Stub as an evidence limitation because closed canon, complete corpus boundaries, stable doctrine, single authorship, complete prompt context, full training/reuse history, subjective model agency, and independent institutional authority remain unresolved.
