• evidencefailedEssay asserts critics do not dispute that palpable tender spots exist

  second reader rejected (independenceNoted): The quote appears verbatim at p.2 and accurately reflects the essay's claim that critics do not dispute the existence of tender, localizable spots, only their mechanism, matching the record's use. The locator matches, and the record itself notes this is uncited/secondary AI-…

  second reader rejected the anchor (statementSupported): The quote itself appears verbatim on p.3, but the record's statement frames it as if a standardized, measured tender-point count study exists, whereas the source explicitly states elsewhere (p.13) that no such census or dataset has ever been collected and this is…

  second reader rejected the anchor (statementSupported): The quoted phrase does appear on p.4 and is used in context as the essay's own assertion, not misattributed. However the record's proposition demands quantitative histological evidence showing nerve-ending density comparable to or exceeding other tissues, while t…

  second reader rejected the anchor (statementSupported): The quote does appear on p.14, but it is explicitly framed by the author as a speculative reframing ('the vasocomputation reading says...'), not as a claim about acute reversibility of PWV with vasodilation or unlatching interventions. The anchored proposition ad…

  second reader rejected the anchor (statementSupported): The quoted passage at p.17 does appear and does state that latent points separate from active ones on flow velocities, but the source is a speculative essay summarizing literature loosely, without any mention of a blinded design or group-level statistical analysi…

• claimfailedA latched knot is metabolically cold on FDG-PET while stiff on elastography and electrically active on EMG. (True if FDG uptake at palpated knots is at or belo…

  second reader rejected the anchor (statementSupported): The source explicitly frames the PET/EMG/elastography triple signature as an untested prediction of the latch hypothesis ('PET is the dark horse, with a distinctive prediction'), not as an established or verified property of knots. The record's statement presents…

  second reader rejected the anchor (statementSupported): The quoted passage does occur on p.18 and is used in context to assert independent convergence, but the record specifically claims that classical Chinese medicine (ashi points) satisfies all three claims including 'untying changes consciousness'; the source's own…

• claimfailedReleasing held somatic material faster than the system can integrate produces destabilization — tears, trembling, disorientation, surfacing affect. (True if in…

  second reader rejected the anchor (statementSupported, relevant): The source at p.22 does support that overly fast release of held material can be destabilizing (tears, trembling, disorientation, surfacing affect), but it never frames this in terms of rates compared to matched controls—that operationalization is inven…

  second reader rejected the anchor (statementSupported, relevant): The quoted text at p.23 accurately reflects the essay's mention of Britton's research on meditation adverse effects, but the anchor source itself is an AI-generated Substack essay, not a peer-reviewed study—it merely references Britton's program secondh…

  second reader rejected the anchor (relevant): The quote about stressed caregivers' wounds healing roughly a quarter slower is accurately located at p.27 and fairly represents the source's claim, used there as evidence for a separate 'mundane mechanism' argument about stress and healing rates, not about muscle knots or…

• claimfailedDuring a purely cognitive stressor such as serial subtraction, a knot measurably stiffens and its local perfusion drops. (True if co-registered elastography an…

  second reader rejected the anchor (quoteInContext, statementSupported): The quoted phrase is explicitly framed in the source as a predicted outcome of a not-yet-run proposed experiment (the Tier 1 keystone study), not as an observed or measured finding; the sentence begins 'The prediction is that...'. The record's sta…

  second reader rejected the anchor (relevant): The quoted line is a genuine aside on p.32 where the author dismisses further foam-rolling RCTs as unnecessary because they already reliably show short-term ROM gains, so the quote is accurately used and located. However, this observation about ROM outcomes from foam-rolli…

Cortical body-map degradation in chronic pain (Moseley/Flor lineage) is an alternative, non-vascular account of why a felt release follows attention-plus-pressure, and would qualify or contextualize VASO-C004 and the conventional explanation. Nothing can be anchored without…

  reopen if: A primary Moseley or Flor paper on somatosensory cortical reorganization in chronic pain is retrieved with text.

• sourceduplicateSRC-MOORE-CAO-2008Report: 'The hemo-neural hypothesis (Moore, Cao, 2008) — no OpenAlex result close enough'. Index contains SRC-MOORE-CAO-2008.

  Moore & Cao 2008, the hemo-neural hypothesis, already in the ledger (doi:10.1152/jn.01366.2006), anchoring VASO-E004. Note: the essay gives the second author as 'Rosalind Cao'; the ledger record's authorship should be checked against the paper itself, but no text was shown this pass.

• sourceduplicateSRC-JOHNSON-2023Report: 'Vasocomputation hypothesis (Johnson, Michael Edward) — no OpenAlex result close enough'. Index contains SRC-JOHNSON-2023.

  Johnson's vasocomputation hypothesis is already in the ledger as SRC-JOHNSON-2023 (Principles of Vasocomputation, Part I), verified, anchoring VASO-E013.

• sourceblockedReport: 'Tweet thread on vasocomputation and Buddhist enlightenment (Johnson, Michael Edward, 2024) — no OpenAlex result'. Essay p. 11 shows a screenshot dated…

  The Dec 2 2024 X thread by @johnsonmxe is reproduced in the essay only as a screenshot, and the essay is supplier's words, not a source. The thread is a proponent's own statement bearing on VASO-C021 (the tanha/vascular-tension identification); it would enter only as the source's statement of its own hypothesis, at ze…

  reopen if: The X post (and thread) is retrieved with text and a stable URL.

• sourceduplicateSRC-MIZRACHI-2026Report: 'Voluntary attention regulating peripheral inflammatory response (histamine skin prick study) (Mizrachi, 2026) — no OpenAlex result'. Index contains SR…

  Mizrachi et al. 2026, voluntary attention regulating acute immune responses (histamine skin prick), already in the ledger (doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02541-1), anchoring VASO-E008.

• sourceirrelevantReport: 'Common neurobiology of pain and pleasure (pain offset/relief) (Leknes, Tracey) — no OpenAlex result close enough'.

  Leknes & Tracey on the common neurobiology of pain and pleasure is cited by the essay for its 'euphoria of release' section; no ledger claim concerns the affective phenomenology of release, so the work bears on nothing currently in the case.

  reopen if: The founder adds a claim that release events produce a rateable euphoria tracking stiffness/perfusion change.

• sourceirrelevantReport: 'Cinderella fibers hypothesis (low-threshold motor unit recruitment) (Hägg) — no OpenAlex result close enough'.

  Hägg's 'Cinderella fiber' hypothesis is invoked by the essay as one of several speculative mechanisms for age-accumulation of knots; the ledger has no claim about age-accumulation mechanism (VASO-C001 states only common occurrence), so the work bears on no current record.

  reopen if: The founder adds a claim about knot burden rising with age or about low-threshold motor-unit overuse as a mechanism.

• sourceirrelevantReport: 'Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha (Ingram, Daniel) — no OpenAlex result close enough'.

  Ingram's book is cited by the essay for the 'cascade warning' and harm-reduction argument, which the article records without a claim. No ledger claim concerns destabilization from rapid release or disclosure ethics.

  reopen if: The founder adds a claim about adverse effects of rapid release or meditation-related destabilization.

• sourceirrelevantReport: 'Research program on meditation-related adverse effects (Britton, Willoughby) — no OpenAlex result close enough'.

  Britton's research on meditation-related adverse effects is the one peer-reviewed body of work behind the article's line 'the modern literature on meditation's adverse effects says the same', but the article makes that remark explicitly without a claim, and no ledger claim concerns adverse effects. It bears on no curr…

  reopen if: The founder adds a claim about meditation-related adverse effects or rapid-release destabilization; the primary paper (e.g., the 'varieties of contemplative experience' study) should then be retrieve…

• sourceirrelevantReport: 'Spiritual emergency concept (Grof, Stan) — no OpenAlex result close enough'.

  Grof's 'spiritual emergency' concept is cited for the cascade-warning section; no ledger claim concerns it.

  reopen if: The founder adds a claim about crisis states following rapid release.

• sourceirrelevantReport: 'Autobiography on kundalini awakening (Krishna, Gopi) — no OpenAlex result close enough'.

  Gopi Krishna's autobiography is a single first-person account cited for the cascade-warning section; no ledger claim concerns it, and as testimony it would carry no diagnostic weight on any mechanism claim.

  reopen if: The founder adds a claim about kundalini-crisis phenomenology as a first-person data class.

• sourceirrelevantReport: 'Bibliography of spontaneous remission case reports — no OpenAlex result close enough'.

  The spontaneous-remission bibliography (attributed by the essay to the Institute of Noetic Sciences) concerns the essay's 'repair ceiling' argument, which is not a proposition in this ledger. Bears on no current claim.

  reopen if: The founder adds a claim about state-dependent repair or remission.

• sourceirrelevantReport: 'Work on bioelectric control of regeneration and morphology (Levin, Michael) — no OpenAlex result close enough'.

  Levin's bioelectric regeneration work is cited for the essay's most speculative rung (repair as a callable subroutine), which the ledger does not carry as a claim. Bears on no current record.

  reopen if: The founder adds a claim about contemplative or autonomic states triggering regenerative programs.

• sourceduplicateSRC-BUTTERFLY-MIDJOURNEY-2026Report: 'Full-body ultrasonic tomography scanner announcement (2026) — no OpenAlex result close enough'. Index contains SRC-BUTTERFLY-MIDJOURNEY-2026.

  The June 2026 full-body ultrasonic tomography announcement is already covered by SRC-BUTTERFLY-MIDJOURNEY-2026 (Butterfly Network's commentary press release), anchoring VASO-E018. Note the ledger record is a third-party commentary, not Midjourney's own announcement; the primary announcement would be a distinct record…

  reopen if: Midjourney Medical's own announcement is retrieved with text and URL, in which case it enters as a separate primary source rather than a duplicate.

• sourceirrelevantReport: 'Cheetah House (resource for meditation-related adverse effects) — no OpenAlex result close enough'.

  Cheetah House is a support resource for meditation-related adverse effects, cited by the essay as a referral; it makes no empirical statement bearing on any ledger claim.
