a selection, not an index · the archive holds the rest
The identifier has a literature, and most of it is evidence. These are the works worth reading first — the specification that says what an AXN is, the measurements that say why it exists, and the observations of what machines do with the corpus. Every entry links to its record in the archive, which is the authority; this page is only a route in.
