Stratum Dating Primer
MS-10.1Era: mirror-springTech tier: 4
How certified archivists pair Ember Age and Mirror Spring notations so ledgers, trials, and braid-maps stay comparable across centuries.
When a contract crosses the stratum meridian, clerks do not erase old ink. They annotate it.
Ember Age (AE) marks run from founding charters through the first audited ley surges; most Syndicate seals still cite AE for liability chains. Mirror Spring (MS) begins where mirrored laboratories could reproduce resonance under glass and where the Veilspire consensus started publishing numbered minor beats after each major season—so MS-09.2 is not a guess; it is a quorum stamp.
If a witness names only a festival moon, translators anchor it against stratum meridian tables and the first ley surge baseline before testimony enters the glass consensus symposium record. Disputed overlaps are flagged with a braid-glyph, never a strike-through: the archive assumes every date was true to someone.
