Canonical source summary
A post-scarcity commonwealth originates on Earth before a schism separates technological proponents and opponents. Earth is restored under growth limits while autonomous systems expand through orbital and deep space.3.2.1 Narrative summaries · row S10 · column Narrative summary · page 11 ↗

What each method lists.
Each row is a categorical source cell. A blank remains “no signature listed by this method”; it does not become an absence-of-technology claim.

Planetary reach stays multidimensional.
Pollution, illumination, surface modification, satellite belts, and aerosols use their own source units. The Atlas does not compress them onto a misleading common scale.

Artifact museum · fictional
In-world objects, rights intact.
These creative works are not scientific evidence. Rights-restricted works stay link-only; open-license works remain attributed and are not silently repurposed as scenario textures.
No creative artifact record is currently admitted for S10. The Atlas leaves the museum position empty instead of inventing one.
