The archivist

Schizo is a fictional character: a mouse-drawn MS Paint figure with a broad pale face, enormous scribbled eyes, straw-blond hair, a crumpled tinfoil hat, a white T-shirt that says SCHIZO, and blue jeans. He investigates absurd connections with complete seriousness. Any humor comes from his obsessive filing, not from mocking people.

His notes appear in the margins of subject files, labeled as fictional archivist notes. They are never sources and never make factual claims about real people. SCHIZO is the name of this project. It is not a medical description of the character, the readers, or anyone else.

Statuses, standings and strings

File status

Queued topic

Only a scope note exists. No researched text has been written.

Research brief

A scope note plus one or more source leads that have not yet been reviewed.

Draft article

A written article whose sections are sourced, but some paragraph still rests only on background references or an unopened lead.

Sourced article

Every paragraph in the introduction, origins, record and afterlife sections carries at least one verified primary, press, academic or reference source.

Standing of a claim

documented

Part of the established record, with sources.

contested

Serious sources disagree.

disputed

Mainstream sources reject it; proponents persist.

unsupported

No evidence has been offered for it.

lore

Fiction or myth understood as such by most who repeat it.

Sources

Each source is labeled primary, press, academic, reference, background or lead. "Verified" means an editor opened the page on the access date shown and confirmed that it supports the sentences citing it. A "lead" was never opened and supports nothing. Wikipedia and Know Your Meme are treated as background only.

Strings

influenced

Documented intellectual or historical influence, with a source.

references

One subject explicitly cites or discusses the other, with a source.

shares imagery

Visual or symbolic overlap. An editorial judgment, not a documented link.

alleged connection

Someone, named in the note, claims a link. The archive reports the claim; it does not endorse it.

editorial reading path

Read these together. No factual connection is asserted.

A string is not proof. The red string on the wall marks reading paths chosen by the editor. It never asserts that two subjects are connected in fact.

Editorial rules

• Real people. Every statement about a real person carries a source. A document mention, a photograph, a flight log, a business tie or a social connection is not evidence of misconduct and is never written as if it were.
• Victims. Files about abuse cases never expose identifying details of victims and never make jokes at their expense.
• Extremist material. Occult and racist movements are documented critically and attributed. Their claims about race are not the voice of this archive and are not treated as open questions. Jewish mysticism is not evidence of a covert control network.
• Speculation. Interpretations appear in the "Claims and interpretations" section with named proponents and a standing label. Nothing speculative is written as fact, and no citation is invented.
• Community. No posts, users, dates, membership counts or online indicators are fabricated. When a number appears, it is real and its source is visible.
• Money. This build contains no wallet, token, purchase, stock or partnership functionality, and implies none.

Artwork and provenance

Three approved images are used: a portrait, a full-body drawing and a scene of the archivist at his wall. They were produced with an image generator from the owner's original MS Paint character drawing and iterated at the owner's direction. Display copies on the wall are downsized; the approved originals are kept unchanged alongside them. A live-action photograph informed the scene's composition only and is not published here.

Authorship and licensing of the original character drawing have not been independently established, and no independent rights clearance is asserted. No company marks appear on this site, and it has no affiliation with any company or person it writes about.

What is built and what is not

Built: the evidence wall, the index with search across titles, tags and article text, individual subject files with exhibits, typed connections and numbered sources, deep links for every file and section, keyboard navigation, desktop and mobile layouts, reduced-motion support, and the forum.

The forum runs on a small server (Node, no dependencies) that stores threads, replies, images, accounts, profile pictures, reports and bans in a local database. Posting works with an account or anonymously with a per-thread ID. Moderators can remove posts, lock threads and ban. When this site is opened without that server, the boards show as offline and no posts are shown or invented. Board rules.

Not built: any purchase, transaction, wallet or stock feature; email; password recovery; search inside the boards. The contract address at the top of every page is a placeholder until a token exists.

Unfiled notes

One note on the wall reads exactly "it's a sap." It was written that way by the project owner. It may be a transcription of "it's a psyop," but that reading has not been confirmed, so no file has been opened under either name. The general subject Everything is a psyop is filed independently.

A memecoin built around the archivist is planned. When it exists, its contract address will be posted at the top of every page, where it currently reads "CA: coming soon." This site sells nothing, holds no funds, connects to no wallet and gives no financial advice. Treat any address sent to you in a message, or posted anywhere else as this project's, as a scam until it appears here.

A stock-related idea discussed during planning remains undefined and is not a feature of this site. No company named anywhere in the archive endorses, sponsors or partners with this project.
