Infoblock — the public evidence graph ^ALPHA

Empirics only — every block is one atomic, primary-sourced fact; the links between blocks are the edges; theory stays out; refuted findings are kept and re-edged, never deleted. Alpha: content is under source-verification (some citations pending precise refs).
