Fictional structural fixture · no real editors, decisions, approvals, or publications
Only a human decision can make a reviewed record eligible.
This demonstration separates an imaginary final publication decision from the source, evidence, and structural checks that came before it—and preserves how that decision can later be reversed.
Three final decisions
Approved, held, and rejected remain distinct.
Eligible after human decision
Separate source and evidence reviews are complete, and an authorized fictional role records approval with a reason.
Pending unresolved work
The record remains ineligible while a specific uncertainty, disclosure, or correction review is open.
Declined with history
The human decision and reason remain visible; no automated publication occurs.
Fixture approval record
Approval names the actor role, reason, and limits.
The record below is fictional and non-medical. “Eligible” describes only this demonstration state.

Four non-equivalences
Inputs to a decision do not become the decision.
Validation ≠ approval
Correct structure does not establish scientific support or editorial fitness.
Source check ≠ approval
Matching and verifying a source does not establish the scoped claim.
Evidence review ≠ approval
Assessment informs an editor but does not grant publication authority.
AI assistance ≠ approval
Automation may organize or draft, but it cannot authorize publication.
Reversible, append-only history
A later decision changes current eligibility without erasing the past.
- Evidence reviewed
The fictional scoped assessment was completed.
- Approved
An authorized fictional human recorded eligibility.
- Held
New fictional uncertainty reopened human review.
- Withdrawn
Eligibility was revoked; earlier approval remains in history.
Decision states
The current state never hides what came before.
Approved

Held

Rejected
A human decision declines eligibility.
Corrected
A dated change updates the current record.
Superseded
A later decision becomes current.
Withdrawn
Eligibility is revoked without deleting history.
Unknown
A required value has not been established.
Unavailable
A required input cannot currently be checked.
