Evidence-ID convention

One citation grammar across every TLTE surface — MP Packs, Unmai desk honesty grids, the Civilian Safety Observatory. 139 stable anchors this era.

The grammar

E.{surface-slug}.{NNN}
  • surface-slug — the desk, pack or visualisation primitive (e.g. observatory-honesty, mullivaikkal-2009, land-honesty).
  • NNN — zero-padded ordinal within that surface. Stable across eras. If a row is appended, its ordinal is appended; existing ordinals never shift.

Every E-id is also an in-page anchor. https://docs.tlte.cloud/unmai/desk/land#E.land-honesty.001 resolves to the 672-acre row. Parliamentary correspondence, OHCHR submissions and academic citation should use the full URL.

Why this exists

Pages move. Datasets update. URLs slip. A stable, human-readable ID per evidence row means an MP can write E.demil-honesty.001 into a Written Question and have it still resolve in five eras' time.

It also lets Velicham (the AI assistant) point at the exact row when answering a question, and lets the Witness Continuity Vow (when it opens) attach a stable receipt to any cited line.
