Governance

SIGNAL Earth is governed to preserve epistemic integrity, plural interpretation, and long-horizon institutional stability. Governance is designed to balance openness with authority — and participation with procedural discipline.

Contribution Model

SIGNAL is open to contributions, but authority is governed. This preserves openness while protecting epistemic quality and institutional legitimacy.

What anyone can do

Propose new entries, edits, or sources; suggest improvements; and open structured discussion anchored to specific objects.

Flag issues such as missing citations, unclear boundaries, or outdated observations.

What is governed

Changes to canonical definitions, maturity status, dispute activation, and certain systemic tags require steward action.

Classification scheme revisions and admissibility bindings are versioned and follow explicit review pathways.

Why this boundary exists

Environmental harm is contested and incentive pressure is persistent; openness must be paired with visible, disciplined procedure.

The goal is not consensus-by-assertion, but durable inspectability: what changed, why, and under what assumptions.
