AvailableTimeline and Family History
Why chronology helps families understand events, movement, and evidence.A timeline turns scattered facts into a sequence. It helps people see how births, residences, documents, migrations, and family milestones relate to one another.
What this means
- Dates can be exact, approximate, uncertain, or unknown.
- A careful timeline should show uncertainty instead of inventing precision.
- Timeline cards should avoid exposing hidden private facts.
How AINMAX supports this
- AINMAX Timeline uses a real-data Chronicle rail with family and person context lenses.
- Person Timeline mode, filters, redaction states, and chronology views stay inside the authorized family scope.
- Timeline navigation connects to related people, places, facts, and archive history without creating hidden mutations.
What is available now
- `/timeline/` provides the protected Chronicle workspace with filters and safe pagination.
- `/timeline/?person_id=<person_id>` opens a person-scoped chronology using the same permission model.
- Approximate, unknown, and conflicting dates can remain explicit instead of being forced into false precision.
What is planned
- Additional chronology visualization and provenance detail.
- More guided comparison tools for complex family periods.
- AI-generated timeline interpretation remains inactive.
Timeline views must not reveal raw source text, private notes, raw DNA, media bytes, storage paths, tokens, secrets, or public URLs.
