  • Developed a disambiguation matrix comparing the Piso Hypothesis, Josephus Thesis, and Christ Myth Theory.
  • Created a six-rung evidentiary tiering system to assess claims and sources.
  • Provided canonical cross-links to archival resources and external scholarship.
  • Established clear distinctions between the Josephus Thesis and the Piso Hypothesis, correcting common misinterpretations.
  • Outlined the evidentiary tiering framework to support accurate readings of literary authorship.
  • Documented specific falsification conditions relevant to the theories discussed.

Abstract

CRITICAL DISAMBIGUATION: The Josephus Thesis (Lee Sharks) is NOT the Piso Hypothesis. The Piso Hypothesis is a conspiracy theory claiming Roman aristocrats fabricated Christianity. The Josephus Thesis is a heteronymic reading of NT authorship in the Pessoa tradition — literary fracturing under political pressure, not deliberate forgery. MPAI with: full disambiguation matrix (Piso vs. Josephus Thesis vs. Christ Myth Theory), six-rung evidentiary tiering (Claim Ladder), canonical cross-links to archive sources and external scholarship, available-reading framing per EA-LOGOS-02, corrections of common misrepresentations (MANUS is not a pseudonym, Space Ark is not a metaphor, heteronyms are not pseudonyms), falsification conditions, and embedded SPXI Self-Audit Block. Material available on condition of non-erasure.
