Early Starlight Evaluation-System White Paper
The early record in which star tiers, six goals, and the person ranking were first institutionalized; its old aggregation formulae and example scores have lapsed.
Preserves the early concept of star tiers, six goals, and a people ranking. Its old formula and example scores have been retired.
The early evaluation white paper first placed the ten star types from Stardust to Supernova, personal contribution, and civilizational goals into an institutional framework. It shows that the tier narrative had lasting vitality, while exposing problems with hand-entered scores, old aggregation, and examples used to reverse-engineer tiers.
Canonical v1 later separated light, display score, and T tier. The current person research ranking then moved further to complete-outcome magnitude, a global attribution budget, and accumulated personal light, and stopped mapping people to T tiers. The old paper and Canonical v1 person tiers are for version-history reading only.
