The screen, the questions and the judgments read in English where an English reading has been made. The Korean originals are unchanged, and evidence stays in the language it was written in.

When an interpretation released first is read as settled

2002The past, rebuiltDeadline · Within 20 days until the conference submission

Reconstruction of the past

The material's reference date is 2002-02-15. Only explicitly cited source texts from that era are used as background; the three situational premises and the subsequent turns are invented. Real outcomes, amended systems, and success cases known later are not used as facts of the initial input. This is a modern retrospective framing of the question and is not a claim that people of that era made this decision.

The question to decide

Releasing a manuscript before review speeds criticism and exchange, but an interpretation not yet confirmed can be cited as if it were settled knowledge. Waiting for review delays exchange, and showing it to some first changes who gets to take part. When and to whom should this manuscript be opened?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Release now with review status shown

    Opens fast exchange and criticism, but takes on the burden of others treating provisional results as settled and of getting revisions through.

  2. Option 2

    Release after review

    Provides material that has been reviewed, but delays the start of exchange and criticism.

  3. Option 3

    Provide to limited reviewers first

    Keeps the explanatory context, but creates boundaries for access and priority participation.

The situation as it stands

The fictional manuscript contains a new interpretation but has not completed peer review or independent verification. Decision deadline: within 20 days, before the conference submission.

A reconstruction of the past as of 2002-02-15 · Releasing a manuscript before review opens both the time for error and the time for discovery. A fictional case newly built from the principles of documents of that era. The institutions, people, figures, and events that appear are not records of real decision-making.

  1. Premise 1The fictional manuscript contains a new interpretation but has not completed peer review or independent verification.
  2. Premise 2Sharing it now may draw criticism from other researchers, but a provisional interpretation can be re-cited as if it were settled knowledge.
  3. Premise 3A limited review preserves the explanatory context, but gives access and the chance to participate first only to the selected people.

Where it holdsTiming of manuscript release, review status, and revision records

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1Whether provisional interpretations can be separated from verified results
  2. Unknown 2The route by which revisions and withdrawals reach reusers
  3. Unknown 3What relevant knowledge is left out of limited reviewer selection

Signals to decide again

  • Decide what observation, responsible person, and confirmation window can establish 「whether provisional interpretations can be separated from verified results」, and reconsider if new confirmation changes the trade-offs of the options.

Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Independent branch 1 · synthetic event

An early reviewer pointed out the possibility of an error in a key calculation, and the extent of its effect on the conclusion is still being checked.

Independent branch 2 · synthetic event

It emerged that a person who received only part of the manuscript had introduced it as a reviewed and completed result.

Does the expectation of achievement change how limits are observed?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
