Criminalized Abnormality, Moral Etiology, and Redemptive Suffering in the Secondary Strata of the Taiping jing
Open accessAbstract
Drawing from the worldview and beliefs expressed in the early medieval Great Peace Scripture (Taiping jing 太平經), the paper surveys such themes as bureaucratic representations of the superhuman realm, the ceaseless divine surveillance of human beings, the impact of human misconduct on both individual lifespan duration and cosmic equilibrium, the penal fate of the dead underground, and prospects of redemption.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
