This is the public map for the next large expansion of Steinmetz Decoded. It separates three things that must never be mixed: works already in the processed corpus, works registered by authority trail, and works still awaiting public scan or file custody.
The archive will not cite an unprocessed paper as decoded. But the reader deserves to see why these sources matter, what concepts they will strengthen, and what has to happen before each one becomes source text, math, diagrams, glossary, hidden gems, and searchable evidence.
Source boundary: registered authority is not decoded evidence. These records become full source pages only after custody, OCR/text extraction, page or section mapping, candidate catalogs, and review labels are visible.
This is the origin point for Steinmetz’s magnetic-loss reputation. It should eventually anchor the hysteresis concept page, the Steinmetz equation page, and modern core-loss comparison.
Gate: Acquire primary scan or publisher PDF, then transcribe equations and any magnetic-loss curves against page images.
This should become the flagship source for how Steinmetz made alternating-current calculation algebraic, geometric, and teachable.
Gate: Verify against the International Electrical Congress proceedings scan before promoting any quotation or equation.
This paper bridges steady-state symbolic method, differential equations, and the general circuit theory behind later source books.
Gate: Acquire article text and preserve equation/page mapping before adding formulas to the curated math canon.
The continuation lets the archive show development over time rather than treating general circuit equations as a one-off article.
Gate: Acquire together with the 1908 paper so the series can be decoded as a sequence.
This is the highest-value pending source for force, stress, pressure, and tension vocabulary in magnetic fields.
Gate: Acquire the article and separate explicit Steinmetz field-force language from later ether-field interpretation.
This should become a cornerstone for surge theory, steep wave fronts, impulse behavior, and high-voltage protection.
Gate: Acquire the proceedings scan and extract impulse-wave diagrams only after page-image verification.
This is the missing early bridge between line constants, natural oscillation, and lightning-frequency reasoning.
Gate: Locate the Electrical World issue or a library scan before any source text is generated.
This source should strengthen insulation stress, breakdown, and surge-dielectric language.
Gate: Acquire primary scan and keep Hayden/Steinmetz authorship visible in citations.
This source can connect cumulative circuit behavior, negative-resistance-like effects, oscillation, and protective design.
Gate: Acquire article scan and route suspicious OCR formulas into review, not curated math.
This is a direct mathematical source for impulse-current reasoning and should feed the surge math route.
Gate: Acquire article and scan-check each equation before adding to canonical formula pages.
This source turns surge theory into protective apparatus and belongs beside the patent-to-theory bridge.
Gate: Acquire scan and keep apparatus claims separate from general transient theory.
This should enrich discharge, damping, oscillation, and nonlinear gas-circuit behavior.
Gate: Acquire article and verify whether figures or oscillograms exist before visual promotion.
This is the direct source for cable transients and should strengthen the line/capacity side of the archive.
Gate: Acquire article and page-map charge/discharge curves before diagram promotion.
This is a flagship pending source for nonlinear discharge, arcing-ground behavior, frequency conversion, and cumulative surges.
Gate: Acquire scan and separate source equations, apparatus behavior, and later interpretive synthesis.
This short work should help readers understand Steinmetz’s civilizational view of electrification without confusing it with circuit theory.
Gate: Acquire public scan or HathiTrust-accessible page images before OCR.
This should connect Steinmetz’s high theory to practical power-system layout and AC distribution choices.
Gate: Verify public text availability and edition identity before processing.
The patent corpus is the practical apparatus counterpart to the books and papers. It needs claims, drawings, and concept links, not just a list of patent numbers.
Gate: Normalize the full authority corpus before claiming completeness; the current bridge is seeded examples only.
