File Notes

How this file was kept

Methodology
Working research file for Walipini, pit, underground, and earth-sheltered greenhouses. Rank is evidence tier: research, then extension, then books, then design, then news, then popular, then audio and video, then forum. A popular video is not engineering proof. Related-but-distinct technology stays labeled. Opened 2026-10-16.
Sourcing
Ethan Walker candidate intake, 2026-10-02, 181 records. Findings are from opened text and PDFs only. Card images are the source's own poster or page image where one could be fetched. A record with no image uses a field plate, not a picture of that source.
Provenance
File 020 in this cabinet. GitHub main filed the same collection as VF-011. 181 sources, four slices. Slug walipini. Opened 2026-10-16.
