+# Tension Universe — Challenge Responses Archive
+
+This directory is an **archival record** of public challenge responses related to **Tension Universe (Candidate)**.
+
+Its purpose is documentation and reproducibility, not debate or promotion.
+
+---
+
+## What is recorded here?
+
+Each file in this directory represents **one response** to a public challenge question.
+
+For every entry, the record preserves:
+
+- A unique response ID
+- Date and platform of the interaction
+- The challenger’s question (quoted verbatim or minimally)
+- The full response text as originally published
+
+No retrospective edits, reinterpretations, or post-hoc optimizations are applied.
+
+---
+
+## Why does this archive exist?
+
+Public discussions on social platforms are transient, fragmented, and often impossible to reconstruct accurately.
+
+This archive exists to:
+
+- Preserve original responses in a stable, versioned form
+- Enable future reconstruction and verification
+- Provide historical traceability for how challenges were answered at the time
+
+This is intended as **archaeological material**, not polished exposition.
+
+---
+
+## Language policy
+
+Responses are recorded **in the same language as the original question**.
+
+- Questions asked in Chinese are answered and archived in Chinese
+- Questions asked in English are answered and archived in English
+- No translation is performed at this stage
+
+If translations are provided elsewhere, they are explicitly marked as **non-arbitration references**.
+
+---
+
+## Arbitration note
+
+For challenges that enter formal arbitration:
+
+- The archived response represents the original published material
+- Authoritative arbitration, when applicable, follows the rules defined in the main challenge specification
+- Language precedence follows those rules (Chinese is authoritative where specified)
+
+This archive itself does **not** determine win or loss.
+
+---
+
+## File naming convention
+
+Each response file follows this format:
+
+
+
+TU-RESP-YYYYMMDD-XXX.md
+
+
+
+Where:
+- `TU` = Tension Universe
+- `RESP` = Response record
+- `YYYYMMDD` = Date of publication
+- `XXX` = Sequence number for that date
+
+---
+
+## What this archive is not
+
+- It is not a debate log
+- It is not a marketing page
+- It is not a curated “best answers” collection
+- It is not retroactively edited for clarity or persuasion
+
+It is a factual record.
+
+---
+
+## Ongoing updates
+
+This archive grows incrementally as new public challenge responses are made.
+
+Entries are added as-is, in chronological order.
