The Baron avatar

Sources & Paths

Method + Receipts: how Baron Mind Stream selects sources, labels claims, and separates signal from narrative.

Purpose

Baron Mind Stream is not a news feed. It is an orientation system. We amalgamate the best available sources, apply disciplined filters, and publish in layers so readers can see what is happening, why it matters, and how the public is being steered.

Core principle: Every source has a role. No single source has absolute authority.
Claim Labeling System

Every meaningful claim is categorized so reality and narrative do not blend.

Verified

Backed by Tier 0 or Tier 1 (primary data / disciplined wires).

Reported

Credible reporting; not independently confirmed by us.

Narrative / Sentiment

How a story is framed, sold, or emotionally steered.

The Cube Model

For major topics (war, migration, monetary stress, technology), we attempt to observe all faces of the cube:

  1. What happened? (Tier 0/1)
  2. Who benefits? (incentives)
  3. How is capital positioned? (flows, credit, assets)
  4. What is the official narrative? (Tier 4)
  5. What is the counter-narrative? (Tier 5/6)
  6. How is attention being steered? (media motion)

Missing faces are noted explicitly in digests.

Source Tiers

Expand a tier to see the sources, why they are here, and metadata that future automation can use.
