Filed to Date (linked to blog post)

Pre-Trial Foundations

The Proceeding Starts — Judge Spock presiding: jurisdiction, stipulations, disclosure (no witnesses) Establishes scope: human choice, not divine causation; no meaning assigned to tragedy; numbers as attention markers; no verdict is sought.

Opening Statements

The A-Team — Opening statement (Affirmative Counsel / Counsel for the Record) Frames the inquiry: whether the alleged prophetic experience—under disciplined constraints—resists dismissal as coincidence and is remarkable enough to warrant attention and compel action (share the record / support Choose Love).
Satan — Opening statement (Adversarial Counsel / Examiner) Challenges the frame: pattern-seeking cognition, narrative leverage, and the risk of mistaking meaning-making for evidence—especially when action (sharing/donating) is requested.

Foundational Testimony

The Author — Foundational testimony (Primary Witness) Establishes origin, timing, constraints, and handling of the number framework as a disciplined “attention record,” with explicit guardrails against causation, prediction, or assigning meaning to tragedy.
