# Sources and Verification Notes Project sources were first reviewed September 5, 2026. Lex Nova/Thoolie materials were reviewed September 10, 2026. Direct Tumblr searches recovered the hacker-and-artist source posts on September 11, 2026. ## Project sources - IBLoud IVXX Audio.com profile: - Loptr Lab Tumblr: - Gerryland Tumblr: - ibloud.xyz Tumblr: - Battle the Beast repository: Tumblr pages should be archived through creator-controlled exports before post-level claims are added. A live URL alone does not establish a durable chronology. ## Recovered hacker-and-artist source architecture The supplied URL `https://tumblr.tumblr.com/archive` resolves to Tumblr's corporate archive, which explains why the first search did not find the remembered material. On September 11, 2026, direct live searches of the creator-controlled blogs recovered these posts: | Date | Post | Documented contribution | |---|---|---| | May 2, 2024 | [The Artist / The Hacker](https://gerryland.tumblr.com/post/749383363140403200/the-artist-has-outgrown-his-high-school-goals) | The Artist has outgrown earlier goals but lost loyalty in “the process”; the Hacker learns how blind love can be in technology and gains confidence in “the process.” | | May 2, 2024 | [The Collision](https://gerryland.tumblr.com/post/749384741799739392/the-collision) | The Hacker's partner takes her code and presents it to the Artist as his MVP; the Hacker and Artist are unknowingly fighting for the same goal while others benefit from keeping them apart. | | May 2, 2024 | [The Hacker Takes a Chance and Shares an Analysis for the Artist's Investor](https://gerryland.tumblr.com/post/749390139098349568/the-hacker-takes-a-chance-and-shares-an-analysis) | The Hacker proposes modular creative tools and describes herself as a bridge between creativity and technology. | | May 2, 2024 | [Summer Club Watch Party's Instructions](https://gerryland.tumblr.com/post/749218942465310720/summer-club-watch-partys-instructions) | A related Summer Club audience-participation artifact returned by Gerryland's hacker search. | | June 5, 2024 | [Storytelling Fact](https://loptrlab.tumblr.com/post/752455386230095872/storytelling-fact) | Embedded video with tags including `#swordfish`, `#hacker`, `#celebrity crush` and `#g-eazy`. | | May 22, 2024 | [G-Eazy-Backed Liquor Startup Stillhouse Sues Bacardi](https://gerryland.tumblr.com/post/751178441798369280/g-eazy-backed-liquor-startup-stillhouse-sues) | A linked business-news item returned by the `startup` search; context, not the core fictional pitch. | These live pages document publication and visible content, but creator-controlled Tumblr exports or screenshots should be retained privately for durable chain-of-title evidence. [STORY-TREATMENT.md](STORY-TREATMENT.md) now carries three concurrent status layers: - **Documented:** the 2024 Hacker/Artist roles, stolen-MVP collision, investor analysis and creative-technology bridge; - **Interpretive:** the decision to connect those posts as a unified screen story; and - **Fictionalized:** *The Signal Between Us* title, screenplay scenes, dialogue, detailed characterization, network antagonist and resolution. The posts do not establish private knowledge, artist participation, approval or endorsement. ## Public event sources - Page Six, February 3, 2020: - E! News report and public denial context: These sources document public appearances, footage and resulting speculation. They do not establish a romantic relationship or private intent. ## Current tour sources - Live Nation G-Eazy events: - Ticketmaster tour information: - Live Nation Inglewood event listing: Public listings identify a 23-show tour running September 15 through October 28, 2026. Verify individual dates against the official ticket page before publishing time-sensitive copy. ## Rights, waterfall and AI sources - Lex Nova Lawyer resource hub: - Reena Sehgal, “How Film Revenue Waterfalls Work,” Thoolie, May 31, 2026: - Thoolie Team, “Music Clearance for Independent Filmmakers,” August 19, 2026: - Thoolie Team, “AI Films, Copyright, and Chain of Title,” July 1, 2026: - Suno Terms of Service: - Suno ownership guidance: - U.S. Copyright Office AI initiative and reports: - U.S. Copyright Office Part 2 report on copyrightability: Lex Nova/Thoolie describes these materials as educational and not individualized legal advice. Their inclusion documents the research route; it does not establish clearance, attorney representation or endorsement. ## Source policy Prefer primary posts, official ticket listings, executed agreements, copyright records and platform terms. Preserve date, URL, creator, screenshot/export provenance and truth-status label. Historical/archive materials remain provenance and do not silently become current rules. Corrections should amend the repository rather than overwrite the historical record without explanation.
