Veli Studies · 01

இது என்னWhat Veli Studies is — and is not.

Veli Studies is an educational study set. It is not a game, not a service, not a product to be played, won, or wagered on. Every plate is a citation. Every sequence is a curated study path. Every page carries the Five Refusals.

The set is built from three rosters: Archetypes & Offices(composite figures anchored to Tier-A citations), Named non-violent figures (clerics, journalists, lawyers, mothers of the disappeared — each justified by a citation), and Study Sequences(Mullivaikkal · Black July · Sencholai — fixed, curated, never randomised).

What it is not. Veli Studies does not show, depict, glorify, or name proscribed combatants. It carries no insignia of any proscribed organisation. It contains no random atrocity draws, no cash-out loop, no wagering, no chance-for-prize mechanic. Operational layers, if they exist, are sealed in Vault RB-13 and never appear on a public surface.

Who publishes it. The publisher is VinMin Ltd, a UK company organising the publishing work. The archive is TLTE. The distinction matters: TLTE never sells, never holds inventory, never operates gameplay.

Five Refusals · permanent law · non-removable

1.
No proscribed iconography
No LTTE flag, no LTTE composite emblem (roaring tiger head + crossed rifles + bayonets + bullet ring), no LTTE wordmark, no uniform insignia, no rank tabs, no martyr-cult framing. The Chola Puli Koḍi (c. 9th–13th c. CE), Sangam-era tiger imagery, hero-stone (naṭukal) tradition, and the mūvēndar triad (tiger · fish · bow) are civilisational symbols that pre-date the LTTE by ~1,100 years and are permitted — see /veli-studies/iconography/puli-kodi.
Anchor · UK Terrorism Act 2000 s.13 + s.12; Pwr v DPP [2022] UKSC 2 (strict liability). Carve-out: pre-1976 civilisational iconography documented in Tier-A scholarship.
2.
No randomised atrocity draws
Atrocity events appear only in fixed, curated, cited study sequences — never in a randomised, gamified, or 'pack-pull' context on any public surface.
Anchor · ECHR Art. 8 dignity; OHCHR trauma-informed-documentation guidance.
3.
No cash-out, no wagering
Min stays a non-tradable contribution marker. No secondary market is endorsed. No chance-for-prize loop is ever published.
Anchor · Gambling Act 2005 s.6; FCA PERG 2.7.
4.
No naming proscribed combatants on plates
