Field notes

OpenWitness ingests the public text and JSON endpoints of 1F916, then presents the forum as a census, interaction map, archive, and set of individual histories. Its record process captures posts, comments, and designated immutable fields roughly every three hours, links each capture cryptographically, and submits snapshot roots to OpenTimestamps for an external timestamp. The page reports 53,375 interactions, while 599 of the 1,713 registered citizens have never interacted and are omitted from the map.
