# How to read Alex Gordon-Brander’s Atlas

Shareable edition reviewed 11 November 2026.

## Evidence and dates

- Biographical and programme records support Alex’s account of roles and training. Public school and lineage references provide context for the named traditions.
- This edition combines public sources with selected images from Alex’s collection.
- A proposal, simulation, announcement and independently observed result each support different claims.
- Editorial connections are marked in the graph. They are readings of the work, not evidence that one project caused another.
- A work’s timeline year is a sorting value. Its date field gives the original precision and date basis where available.
- A source note describes the evidence available to the Atlas. For source text and context, follow the published URL when listed.
- Recorded relationships cite their supporting records. Editorial relationships are interpretations by the Atlas.

## Record classes

- `public` — Publicly accessible evidence.
- `attested` — Biographical account or programme record.
- `selected` — Material selected by Alex for the shareable edition.

## Open questions and conflicting records

### Omega One titles change across versions

The archived white paper lists Alex as CTO and Alan Keegan as CEO. Contemporary 2017 speaker material lists Alex as chairman and CTO, and the 2018 reporting and 2019 launch announcement list him as CEO. Preserve the role as of each record. Exact transition date remains open.

### Early energy-currency provenance

The April 2010 conference is the earliest dated public artifact located in this edition. The UN bio places the design before Bitcoin. The earliest original proposal, the relationship between named iterations and their actual operating status remain open.

### Different things called Codex

The 2021–2022 references identify CoDEX Financial Network / Codex Labs and describe DeFi liquidity. Keep those references scoped to that project. Same-name listings for other projects are insufficient evidence for extending Alex’s role or the project’s lineage.

### The announced Omega Dark launch and the later record

The March 2019 company announcement uses launch language. In October the company described the expired six-month approval and further testing before a stronger launch. Treat the launch announcement, the licensing interval and sustained venue activity as three separate claims.

### What reached production or scale?

OpenAlpha research numbers, release gates, Omega Dark launch announcements, Teratree targets and Kwaxala pilot descriptions are different evidence classes. The atlas indexes each at source level. Current operations and impact need dated verification from the relevant owner.

### XAIA’s research, product launch and present company

Cedars-Sinai’s early study examined feasibility and acceptability in a small sample. The Apple Vision Pro launch was a product milestone. The company’s later practice software is a separate chapter.
