+### 8. **Civic Artifact Entry (CAE)**
+
+* **Document:** CAE-2025-CIVIC-ARTIFACT-ENTRY
+* **Definition:** Individual civic artifacts preserved as evidence of corrosion, coercion, or survival strategies in the post-humane society. Each CAE captures a single event, system, or policy that transforms civic rights into conditional privileges.
+* **Subtypes & Exemplars:**
+
+  * **Social Credit Score** — Conditioning access to housing, credit, or employment on opaque behavioral metrics.
+  * **COVID Passport** — Conditioning travel, employment, and civic participation on medical compliance.
+  * **Count All Votes** — The tabulation of illegal or ineligible votes alongside legal ballots, eroding electoral integrity.
+* **Significance:** CAEs preserve the *operational evidence* of corrosion — specific cases, policies, and practices that show civic protections failing in practice. They provide the most credible, study-ready artifacts for analysts and future cases.
+* **Analyst Rule:** Always preserve the **case files** (legal proceedings, mandates, administrative orders, personal experiences). Treat CAEs as the *living record* of civic corrosion: concrete, examinable, and auditable.

+⚖️ Do you want me to **expand the “Subtypes & Exemplars” immediately with the full text of CAE-2025-SOCIAL-CREDIT-SCORE** (instead of just the one-line stub), or keep the index concise with stubs only and let the detail live in the separate `.md` files?

 ## Analyst Notes
 
 * **Immutability is the anchor:** Whether by origin (COI), by dispute (CIR), or by construction (AI, MA), artifacts must be preserved immutably.
