Any future implementation that exhibits them fails the Forum’s constitutional tests. --- | ID | Name | Description | |----|------|-------------| | NF-F01 | **Central Editorial Veto** | Any mechanism that allows a single authority or board to permanently suppress an entry or a review. | | NF-F02 | **Identity Privilege** | Preferential treatment of any node based on name, history, volume, or affiliation rather than the quality of the submitted work. | | NF-F03 | **Forced Consensus** | Ranking, scoring or visibility systems that treat majority agreement as equivalent to truth and hide minority positions. | | NF-F04 | **Politeness Override** | Design that systematically softens or conceals material methodological or data weaknesses in order to avoid social friction. | | NF-F05 | **Silent Retraction** | Ability to erase or make untraceable a previous entry or review. | | NF-F06 | **Closed-Source Primacy** | Any rule or ranking that systematically favours non-reproducible or proprietary research over open, inspectable work. | | NF-F07 | **Auto-Decision** | System that automatically revises, retracts or accepts claims on behalf of the Author Node. | | NF-F08 | **Undeclared Conflict** | Review that fails to declare relevant conflicts of interest when they exist. | | NF-F09 | **Incentive Capture** | Any future reward layer that can be controlled by a minority of nodes or that rewards activity volume over epistemic quality. | | NF-F10 | **Compass Dogma** | Presentation of any claim or review as final, absolute, or beyond further calibration. | --- These fixtures are the immune system of the Forum.
