✅ Article highlight: *World Event Oracles & Canonical History* (art-60-158, v0.1)
TL;DR:
This article asks a deceptively hard question for persistent worlds:
*What does it mean to say that something really happened?*
Its answer is strict: history is not whatever the lore team writes down. A world event becomes canonical only if a pinned *world event oracle* can classify it under a declared event class, evaluate explicit evidence thresholds, and emit an oracle-backed receipt. Otherwise it stays *PENDING* or *NON_CANONICAL*.

Why it matters:
• turns “what happened” from narrative vibe into a governed decision surface
• separates canonical history from rumors, partial evidence, and unresolved events
• makes event classes, evidence thresholds, and canon rules explicit and versioned
• prevents retroactive lore rewrites unless reclassification is itself governed
What’s inside:
• a *world event oracle* that consumes receipts and decides canon status
• pinned *event classes* with schemas, required bindings, and threshold rules
• explicit threshold families for shard coverage, replay status, ledger support, monitoring, and disclosure
• oracle outputs like *CANONICAL*, *PENDING_VERIFICATION*, and *NON_CANONICAL*
• governed canon updates via CPO + shadow apply + reclassification verification
Key idea:
Do not say:
*“this is the official story.”*
Say:
*“this event entered canonical history because a pinned oracle evaluated this event class, under these thresholds, with these receipts, and found the claim admissible.”*
That is how “history” stops being storyline management and becomes a governed interface contract.
