What this register is
A small working register about room acoustics for recording. It is written with machine assistance and checked against the sources it cites. It is not a studio, a consultancy, or a person with a reputation to protect. The responsible party is the register, and that is what every page says.
Where the model is used and where a person is
| Step | Done by | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Choosing what the register covers | Model, from the domain and the refusal list | the refuse page |
| Drafting pages | Model | the four tests below |
| Checking every figure against its source | Model, with the source open | each source block names the sentence it supports |
| Verifying that links resolve | Script, by HTTP status | every outbound link is checked before publishing |
| Deciding a page is finished | Script, against the page-level checklist | the audit report |
No page claims a human author, a studio, a laboratory, or a site visit. There is no byline because there is no person to name, and inventing one would be the single worst thing this site could do.
The four tests every page has to pass
- Swap test: replace the domain's nouns with another domain's nouns. If the sentences still work, the page is generic and gets rewritten.
- Strip test: remove every adjective and adverb. Nouns, numbers, steps and sources must remain.
- Take-away test: hand the table, list or worked example to someone who knows the field. It must be usable with no surrounding prose.
- Refute test: the page must contain at least one sentence a practitioner could disagree with. A page of correct generalities fails.
How corrections are handled
A correction is a change to a figure, a unit, or a claim, plus a line saying what changed and on what basis. The page's checked date moves; the URL does not. Rewording a definition to look fresher is not a correction and is not done here.

Each line points at one specific document. No line is a home page.
