  <title>El Mundo — Three Modes of Truth</title>
  <desc>The platform's three ledgers — Pulpería, Contaduría, Cabildo — record three epistemically distinct kinds of truth: observed, derived, administrative. The diagram displays the three modes as parallel columns showing primitive, question answered, source of truth, time evolution, and failure mode if confused. A unifying band beneath shows that all three share the same notarial machinery despite their distinctness.</desc>
