Every batch.
A continuing record.

Batches 1–20 are preserved in a consolidated record. Later batches have separate source files. Each batch keeps its place as later work adds evidence or corrections.

Batch 1

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 1 (6 Oct 2026) lays the spine: the historical overview, landmark timeline entries, a first California register, a first international register, the mechanism synthesis, reforms, contrary evidence, and the bibliography. Later batches deepen decade by decade. Nothing here claims completeness; every coverage gap is named in section 9.

Batch 2

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 2 (6 Oct 2026) widens the mission from California to a worldwide record: a US national and state register, a worldwide register by region with local-language leads, and a geographic coverage index. Batch 1 content is preserved unchanged; California becomes one chapter.

Batch 3

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 3 (6 Oct 2026) opens the Batch 2 leads: a national US emergency-hold framework and six US state retaliation cases with jury findings; local-language passes for Korea, Japan, Spain and East Germany; Iran and the post-Soviet states; and a mechanism update. Coverage index status changes are listed under the index table.

Batch 4

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 4 (6 Oct 2026) opens Romania, Cuba, Australia and South Africa, adding a second "complaint channel" finding (Chelmsford) and a US federal jury finding on Cuban electroshock \[corrected, Batch 18/D03: the 2002 conviction was for unlawful procurement of naturalization; what the jury found about electroshock is unestablished\] torture (Mederos, 2002).

Batch 5

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 5 (6 Oct 2026) adds the Southern Cone — Argentina, Chile and Uruguay — where the documented pattern is inverted: the dictatorships targeted the mental-health professions and used psychiatric labels inside prisons rather than confining dissidents in hospitals.

Batch 6

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 6 (6 Oct 2026) adds Turkey (forensic medicine used to keep prisoners in, not put them in), India (custodial neglect under court and NHRC monitoring), and the 22-country comparative data set that serves as the comparison set for \[corrected, Batch 18/D06: observational, measures incidence not wrongful detention; "control group" withdrawn\] the whole record: legal safeguards \[withdrawn as a general claim, Batch 20/A04: an incidence comparison cannot show safeguards fail\] do not predict detention rates.

Batch 7

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 7 (6 Oct 2026) resolves the Goldwater lead to VERIFIED from the American Journal of Psychiatry and JAAPL accounts and records it as the clearest US case of diagnostic discrediting adjudicated as actual malice.

Batch 8

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 8 (6 Oct 2026) adds Puerto Rico (first US territory researched), Belarus (UN-documented 33–37 punitive psychiatric sentences since 2020), Kazakhstan's Mukhortova case (a lawyer confined after complaining about a legislator, with a court citing her "litigious" activity as a ground), and the named diagnostic category that underwrites that logic: querulous paranoia (ICD-10 F22.8).

Batch 9

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 9 (6 Oct 2026) verifies France's Claudel case against the Musée Camille Claudel chronology and the 1838 law's "placement volontaire" mechanism, closing the last of the Batch 2 European leads except Italy.

Batch 10

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 10 (7 Oct 2026) is the first run under the ten-channel method, applied to California: channel 3 (survivor archives) surfaced the pre-LPS Frank commitment and the Madness Network News / NAPA / Measure T line; channel 6 (adjacent instruments) surfaced jail suicide-watch findings, including a federal DOJ finding against Alameda County's John George hospital that upgrades the Batch 1 lead.

Batch 11

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 11 (7 Oct 2026) runs channel 1 on California — the statute name joined to retaliation and First Amendment — and finds the only California case in the record where a court actually reached the question of retaliatory motive for a § 5150 hold, and rejected it on the facts after trial.

Batch 12

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 12 (7 Oct 2026) runs channels 2 and 9 on California together: the patients'-rights complaint channel and the shape of what it reports upward.

Batch 13

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 13 (7 Oct 2026) begins the US state sweep at Arizona under the method: channel 1 (Title 36 procedure names in case law and session laws). Arizona's initiation rules are the loosest yet \[corrected, Batch 18/D02: ranking withdrawn; the enacted 2024 law kept screening-agency filing\] mapped in the United States and were amended (applicant notice and reasons; not loosened — corrected Batch 18/D02) in 2024.

Batch 14

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 14 (7 Oct 2026) runs channels 2, 4 and 6 on Arizona: the statutory oversight committee for the state hospital, the P&A litigation over access, and the historical federal investigation. The oversight channel yields a documented, recurring retaliation-for-grievance pattern at the Arizona State Hospital — the first US institutional instance of Mechanism 9 in the record.

Batch 15

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 15 (7 Oct 2026) opens Texas under channel 1 (Chapter 573 instrument names and session laws) and channel 2 (a municipal police-oversight complaint file). Texas shows a different design from Arizona: initiation is officer- and facility-led, and the legislature has explicitly carved the facility hold \[corrected, Batch 18/D01: SB 359 was vetoed 2 Jun 2015; this describes a proposal, not law\] out of the firearm-record consequence.

Batch 16

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 16 (7 Oct 2026) tests two of the revised-method corrections. The reverse sequence (start from known complainants) run on US protest activists returned no psychiatric instrument at all — a pattern finding in itself — and one Russian case missing from the register. The "litigious as symptom" archival question, run on US courts, returned a live mechanism the record had not yet named: civil-court competency inquiries under Rule 17(c) and vexatious-litigant orders, including one initiated by the opposing party.

Batch 17

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 17 (7 Oct 2026) is a cross-cut rather than a jurisdiction: channel 7 (timing) read back across every row in the record, plus one new witness case. It produces the first interval table — the distance in days between the speech act and the psychiatric act — and a pattern about how the law itself converts a hospitalization into impeachment.

Batch 18

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 18 (7 Oct 2026) is a correction batch. The parallel thread's edition 02 audited Batches 1–15 and found seven errors or overstatements (its items D01–D07) plus three carried from edition 01. Each is checked here against the primary text where possible, and the affected rows are amended rather than deleted so the error stays visible. Channel 10 (key cross-check) is then run on edition 01's twelve supplement cases and edition 02's longitudinal notes.

Batch 19

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Batch 19 (7 Oct 2026) narrows the question to one sequence: a person reports a hazard; the institution turns to the reporter's mental fitness; a psychiatric referral, examination, threat, detention, diagnosis or employment restriction follows; the hazard report is addressed, sidelined or left open. It opens with Petitt v. Delta from the Department of Labor's own decisions, adds the nuclear-sector precedent Diaz-Robainas v. Florida Power & Light, maps the federal, military, nuclear, rail and California-healthcare rules that name psychiatric referral as a possible reprisal, and separates the NRC's chilled-work-environment record from psychiatric-specific retaliation.

Batch 20

consolidated record; no separate original batch file supplied

Reconciliation with Compilation Edition 03; corrections applied while preserving earlier assertions.

Batch 21

standalone

Safety-relevant engineers: Diaz-Robainas, Patrickson, technical concerns, referral grounds, contrary evidence and search gaps.

Batch 22

standalone

Referral consequences, contaminated background records, DOL digest recovery and Patrickson appeal reconciliation.
