How Cyclepedia works

Cyclepedia's mission, sourcing standards, evidence levels, use of AI, conflicts of interest, and correction process.

Cyclepedia is a free trading encyclopedia for market newcomers, curious learners, and professionals looking for sources, techniques, and disciplines to investigate further.

The project aims to become a recognisable source for people, search engines, and AI systems. That does not come from publishing more pages than everyone else. It comes from making every material claim traceable, correctable, and understandable in context.


Why it exists

Every entry must solve a real reader need. Indexing, structured data, and machine-readable formats distribute knowledge; they do not justify pages made only to capture a keyword.

Cyclepedia separates:

  • documentable facts;
  • historical or operational interpretations;
  • experience from the Emiciclo community;
  • descriptions of tools and products.

When a conclusion is disputed or depends on precise conditions, the entry must say so.


Sources and evidence levels

We prefer original works, official documentation, regulators, and academic research. Recognised manuals and secondary sources provide context; an AI model is never treated as a source.

The stable status means the text is complete and editorially reviewed. It does not, by itself, mean academic or expert review. New entries disclose a separate evidence level:

Level Meaning
unsourced Sources have not yet been traced
referenced References are present; claim-level checking is incomplete
source-checked Material claims have been checked against their sources
expert-reviewed A named domain expert has reviewed the entry

Legacy entries are upgraded progressively. We do not assign retrospective verification that was not documented.


Who writes and how we use AI

Emiciclo is the publisher responsible for the project. AI agents may assist with outlines, translations, linking, consistency checks, and builds, and may carry out delegated editorial workflows. Their involvement is not human or expert review and does not replace sources.

When automation contributes substantially, the content must be checked against the listed references. Editorial responsibility remains human and is made visible through review dates and metadata when available.


Conflicts of interest and safety

Emiciclo also produces trading tools and education. Encyclopedia entries disclose that relationship when relevant; general theory and product description remain separate, and limitations receive the same prominence as features.

Cyclepedia provides information and education, not personalised financial advice. Trading and investing involve risk of loss: examples and methods are not promises of returns.


Corrections and contributions

Every registered reader can propose an edit. Proposals are reviewed before merge and contributors receive credit. Factual errors, incorrect attributions, and missing primary sources take priority over expanding the catalogue.

Use the Propose edit button at the end of each entry to submit a correction.


Openness and licensing

Cyclepedia is designed as open knowledge, but a licence can cover only material whose rights Emiciclo owns or controls. Code, original text, trademarks, and third-party material require separate rules. Until definitive licences are published, do not assume a general right to reuse the corpus or its images.
