00 / Method

Separate what is known
from what is remembered.

Археологическая культура, история языка и этническая идентичность — разные линии данных. ONAR связывает их только там, где существует доказуемая связь, и показывает неопределённость там, где её нет.

01 / Atlas

Territory is not backdrop.
It is evidence.

Ландшафт, расселение и исторические слои — в одной исследовательской системе.

02 / Timeline

History, with the joins visible.

Периоды — навигационный каркас, а не утверждение непрерывной этнической линии.

Pre-ethnic layers

Archaeological cultures are not automatically ethnic identities.

Draft · high uncertainty

Formation hypotheses

Competing models connect several archaeological and linguistic processes.

Draft · hypotheses

Regional formation

Territory, economy and ritual patterns appear alongside strong contact zones.

04 / Myth & Memory

Onar walks between
archive and memory.

Мифологические сюжеты сохраняются как отдельный evidence layer. Они могут свидетельствовать об идентичности и памяти, но не заменяют исторический источник.

05 / Culture

Living systems,
not decorative motifs.

Material culture, ritual, music, visual language and everyday life are documented with context.

06 / Scenario Lab

Compare conditions.
Never call them forecasts.

Экспериментальная рамка для прозрачного сравнения исторических и современных траекторий.

Scenario only · assumptions remain visible · no predictive claim

07 / Sources

A public chain of custody.

Source records include identifiers, access paths, definitions, excerpts, provenance notes and review decisions.

Draft

Collected; not yet independently reviewed.

Verified

Checked against source and bounded to its actual claim.

Canonical

Approved for the project’s research layer.

Published

Deployed and read back in the public artifact.

08 / For AI

Readable by people.
Legible to machines.

Structured context exposes scope, evidence status, uncertainty and known limitations. AI systems must not collapse mythology into history or archaeological culture into ethnicity.
