Layer O living board: where councilof.ai is, read live (2026-10-10)

A daily presence-and-measurement dataset about our own distribution: the catalogs, indexes, registries and archives where the Council of AI (councilof.ai, CSOAI Ltd) publishes, or could publish, and what a live public read shows there today. It is not a GSPC model axis. It ranks nothing and scores no one. A surface appearing here says only what that surface's own public page or API returned to a read-only GET.

What is measured

• surfaces.csv / surfaces.jsonl: one row per surface in the Layer O registry: state, state_since, presence (MEASURED or UNMEASURED), observed (how many of our artifacts the live read showed; empty when UNMEASURED), as_of, and two hashes: state_event_hash (the hash-chained registry event behind the state) and presence_evidence_sha256 (sha256 of the bytes read).
• checks.csv / checks.jsonl: every deck-lang statement run on 2026-10-10 against these surfaces (hourly read-only checks: HTTP status, JSON fields, presence counts): verdict, observed value, read time, evidence hash, receipt hash.
• chain.json: counts, and the heads of the registry event chain and of each deck receipt chain, so anyone holding an earlier copy can check that nothing was rewritten.

Today: 137 surfaces, 67 MEASURED, 70 UNMEASURED; 822 checks. Not published (HELD): audit_target (108), vendor_marketplace (22).

States

DISCOVERED, QUALIFIED, READY, AUTH_REQUIRED, BUILDING, CONNECTED, PUBLISHED, SUBMITTED, UNDER_REVIEW, ACCEPTED, REJECTED, BLOCKED, STALE, NEEDS_UPDATE, UNSUPPORTED. PUBLISHED, CONNECTED and ACCEPTED are set only by a live public read that showed our artifact (URL + sha256 recorded). A note, an email or a memory never sets them.

UNMEASURED

UNMEASURED means we could not see, not that we are absent. A 401/403, a JavaScript-only page, a partial sitemap or a read path we have not got is UNMEASURED and stays UNMEASURED until a live read settles it. A check verdict of UNMEASURED means the read did not complete. OBSERVED means a value was recorded with no assertion (never a PASS).

Method

Read-only GETs with a named user agent (csoai-layer-o-registry/0.1), robots.txt respected. We store only our own measurement plus the source URL and the sha256 of the bytes read, never a copy of a third party's record. The same snapshot is published daily, as a new version, to Hugging Face (csoai/layer-o-living-board) and Kaggle (nicktempleman/layer-o-living-board), and each mirror is itself a watched surface in this board.
