Editorial clarity

Editorial Policy

The site prioritizes faithful source display, stable references, and clear separation between original text layers, comparison, translation, and future commentary.

Original form

Source text is preserved

Text is not reshaped merely to match another source or a preferred interface.

Comparison

Parallel layers stay separate

When two layers differ, the page can show both forms without hiding the difference.

Corrections

Changes require visible reason

Substantive corrections should be documented with textual context and date.

Commentary

Future notes attach to anchors

Commentary, translation, and glossary material should attach to stable segment IDs.

Scope

Text first

The first public objective is a stable, complete Hebrew-Aramaic corpus with reliable reference pages. Translation, glossary, and commentary layers are planned as later editorial expansions attached to the same anchors.

Segmentation

No artificial harmonization

A text layer may preserve its own natural segmentation. It is not divided only to match another source, and it is not merged merely to simplify the interface.

Review

Corrections remain traceable

Corrections should be made against a visible reference unit, with enough detail to identify the layer, page, segment marker, reason, and date of the editorial decision.

Publication

Public wording stays clean

Internal planning language, experimental notes, and private workflow details are not published on reading pages. Public pages use stable technical labels and documentation links.
