Facts with no known surviving documentation

Some parts of the biography will probably remain autobiographical: Tremonte BBS, Minduim BBS, part of the early STI/internet period, some live shows and behind-the-scenes details that were never formally documented.

The site will not manufacture false precision to fill those gaps. The Minduim BBS visual reconstruction published in the HUB is explicitly labeled as an AI-assisted reconstruction based on factual elements and memory, not as an original document.

Minduim BBS — visual reconstruction, c. 1993reconstruction

A faithful reconstruction of the domestic environment and interface where Minduim BBS was installed and operated. It is not an original photograph or screen capture.

Privacy, copyright and documents

Corporate filings, employment records, private correspondence or family documents may help validate information internally but do not need to be published in full. Personal data belonging to Marcelo or third parties will be omitted or redacted when necessary.

Likewise, owning an old scan does not automatically mean owning redistribution rights to an entire magazine, professional photograph or presentation containing third-party material. The public archive will be selective.

How sources enter the biography

The hub uses four practical categories: external public source, preserved primary archive, contextual corroboration and autobiographical information. These categories guide maintenance, but the public reading experience will not become a forensic report.

The goal is evidence density across the lifetime: strong milestones distributed through the trajectory, not the impossible requirement of a URL for every event that happened before the web.
