Marine Science · Reality-Class Discipline
Cryptid & Unverified
The deepest tier of the registry. Here we hold what has been logged but not confirmed — sightings, sonar returns, tissue we cannot yet place — alongside the small number of findings held under Admiralty seal. Nothing here is asserted as fact; everything here is kept until hard evidence either lifts it into the record or retires it.
The discipline
A finding is marked Unverified the moment it is logged without sufficient evidence to enter the confirmed record, and it stays there — neither dismissed nor believed — until the evidence resolves. A narrow set of matters is held one tier deeper, marked Restricted, and is not elaborated in writing. The reality classes are applied identically across the whole registry; this page simply collects them.
Mystery is policy, not carelessness. We do not pretend to know what we have not proven, and we do not erase what we cannot yet explain. The abyssal dark keeps its own ledger; we only transcribe it. — Marine Science
Logged, unconfirmed
On the Restricted entries. What is sealed is sealed for reasons that are themselves restricted. Do not speculate in writing; do not request elaboration through this channel. — Fleet Admiralty
