spectralbranding/boundary-adjudication-data

The dataset viewer is disabled deliberately. Every file here is a non-tabular archival artifact — gzipped XML repository metadata and a filed HTML exhibit — so there are no columns to extract and no split to preview. Auto-detection reports "cannot extract the features" on such a repository; that is the expected result, not a fault in the upload. The files are downloaded whole and parsed by the paper's coding script, which is the only consumer they have.

Boundary Adjudication — perimeter and source-composition data

Data of record for Zharnikov, D. (2026bo). When a Boundary Claim Becomes Testable: A Criterion for Adjudicating Scale-Relative Claims, with One Coded Case. Zenodo concept DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22148374.

Code and paper: github.com/spectralbranding/philosophy-papers.

Dataset DOI: 10.57967/hf/10145. Cite the dataset by this DOI and the paper by its Zenodo concept DOI.

What this is

Two disjoint document sets, coded independently, that together support the paper's existence claim. They share no document, and neither was authored with the other in view — that is the point of the design, not an accident of collection.

Legal side — the audited perimeter

File	Description
redhat_ex21_1_fy2019.htm	Exhibit 21.1 to Red Hat's Form 10-K for fiscal 2019, filed 2019-04-24, accession 0001087423-19-000012. Subsidiaries stated as of 2019-02-28
redhat_ex21_1_fy2019.txt	The same exhibit parsed to plain text: 60 subsidiary legal entities across 39 jurisdictions

The canonical public copy of this filing is the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR archive, and the accession number above resolves there. The copy here is an archival snapshot so the coding is reproducible from a fixed artifact.

Persistence side — the source composition

File	Description
baseos-primary.xml.gz	primary.xml.gz repository metadata, BaseOS source repository, CentOS 8.0.1905
appstream-primary.xml.gz	primary.xml.gz repository metadata, AppStream source repository, CentOS 8.0.1905

CentOS 8.0.1905 is the public rebuild of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.0, released 2019-05-07 — inside the window between the audited perimeter date (2019-02-28) and the perimeter-event (2019-07-09). This metadata is authored by packagers, for package managers, and for purposes unrelated to corporate structure.

CentOS 8 reached end of life on 2021-12-31 and its repositories have since been retired from the primary mirror network. That is why this snapshot is archived here rather than fetched at run time.

What is NOT here, and why

The per-package coding output (2,093 rows) is not published as data. It is a deterministic output of a committed script with no randomness and no network access, so it is regenerated rather than stored — one canonical home per artifact, and a second copy is how the two drift apart.

Reproducing the paper's numbers

git clone https://github.com/spectralbranding/philosophy-papers.git
cd philosophy-papers/boundary-adjudication
./reproduce.sh          # downloads this dataset, then runs the coding script

Expected output: 2,093 distinct source packages, 2,060 codeable, 90 inside (.044) and 1,970 outside (.956); under a sensitivity pass reclassifying all 328 github.com packages as inside, 418 inside (.203) and 1,642 outside (.797). The pre-registered failure condition was an inside share above .500 and was not met.
