Registry Survey Standards

Every surveyor files under these standards. Reports that fall outside them are returned for revision.

Standard 01 — One diorama, one record

Each filing documents a single physical build. Register one diorama under one primary subject. [PLACEHOLDER — owner to revise]

Standard 02 — Record wear as left

Record wear and condition as the owner left the model, not as time alone would leave it. [PLACEHOLDER — owner to revise]

Standard 03 — Glow is soft, steady, green

Glow on record is always soft, steady, and green. The Registry does not speculate on cause. [PLACEHOLDER — owner to revise]

Standard 04 — Photograph the physical model

Filings must include photographs of the surveyor's own physical model. [PLACEHOLDER — owner to revise]

Standard 05 — Anchor the record

State the single most striking physical feature as the anchor line. [PLACEHOLDER — owner to revise]

Standard 06 — Stay in the world

Reports observe the fiction of Longlight and the year 2146. [PLACEHOLDER — owner to revise]

Standard 07 — Accurate designations

Serials and survey IDs are Registry designations and must not be altered. [PLACEHOLDER — owner to revise]

Standard 08 — Respect prior surveys

When surveying an existing subject, respect the filings already on record. [PLACEHOLDER — owner to revise]
