Race Burial Box / practical clarification
01What is the Race Burial Box?
A personalized physical archive for one race that mattered. It turns submitted facts and evidence into a numbered closure file without rewriting the event.
02Is the Race Burial Box a coffin?
No. It is an archival object for an athletic event. It is not a funeral, bereavement, medical or counselling service.
03What does burial mean here?
Burial means deliberate closure of a race file. The event may be closed while the participant and their future activity continue.
04Is it only for DNF races?
No. Finished, withdrawn, stopped, cutoff, DNS and DNF events are all eligible. The outcome is recorded, not ranked.
05Can a successful or brutal race be archived?
Yes to both. Completion, placement or difficulty does not determine whether an event deserves deliberate closure.
06What is personalized?
The event record, selected evidence, designation, dates, distance, outcome, internal archive references and physical arrangement are prepared for the submitted race.
07What does the customer submit?
Race facts and whatever evidence is available: bib, timing information, photographs, notes, route details, result links, material traces or an explanation of what is missing.
08What does FLATFFIN create internally?
FLATFFIN reviews the submission, checks factual consistency, assigns the archive structure and number, prepares the printed record and assembles the retained physical material.
09What physical items are included?
The final composition may include a numbered file, printed race record, evidence reproductions, labels and retained or customer-supplied material. Exact contents are confirmed before production.
10How does numbering work?
Each accepted Founding Series archive receives a unique file number. The number identifies the record; it does not rank the race or the person.
11What is the Founding Series?
The first manually reviewed sequence of Race Burial Box files. Ten numbered records are planned while the product and archive method are being established.
12How is a Race Burial Box requested?
A race may be submitted for manual Founding Series review. Submission is free. Payment, permanent allocation and production begin only after eligibility and scope are confirmed.
13How long does review and preparation take?
FLATFFIN normally answers an initial submission within 5–10 business days. A production schedule is then confirmed individually because evidence and personalization vary.
14How does shipping work?
Shipping origin, price, destination coverage, tracking and return conditions will be disclosed before payment is accepted. No shipping term is inferred from a submission.
15What is the Field Cap?
A physical technical cap in active development. It is also the proposed carrier for a future access-key layer, but no digital service is currently active.
16Is the chip live now?
No. Chip integration, the runner record, the database and analysis layer are planned concepts and are not connected.
17What would the chip do?
It would act only as an access key to a runner-controlled record. Race recording would happen elsewhere; the cap itself would not measure the event.
18Does the Field Cap track GPS or biometrics?
No. The proposed access key is not a GPS tracker, biometric sensor or live monitoring device.
19Is the archive live?
No persistent public runner archive or automated analysis service is active. Current race-entry tools provide a local browser preview that is not retained.
20What is currently available?
The site documents objects and development evidence. Public sale is unavailable unless a page expressly states otherwise; Race Burial Box review requests are handled manually.
21Where are the objects made?
All six object families are planned for production in Canada. Each finished object will state the applicable origin and material qualification before it is offered.
22How do I contact FLATFFIN?
Use the Internal page to send your name, email, object of interest and message. A human review is possible, but a reply or allocation is not guaranteed.
FLATFFIN / institutional clarification
F01Why are quantities limited?
The available quantity has been determined to be sufficient. An increase is not currently justified.
F02Will a sold object return?
A return is possible. An exact repetition is not necessarily available.
F03Who reviews a Race Burial submission?
A person. The identity of the observer does not affect classification.
F04Can a completed race be buried?
Yes. Completion does not protect an event from closure.
F05Why does the archive contain missing numbers?
The absence of an entry does not necessarily indicate its nonexistence.
F06Is everything on this site real?
Objects described literally are treated literally. Other distinctions remain under observation.
F07Why did the page change?
No correction is scheduled.
F08Does Flatffin remember previous submissions?
Records may persist longer than the reason they were created.
F09Am I being observed?
Observation does not require intervention.
F10Why is this question here?
It was already present when the record was opened.
F11What happens after File 22?
01.
F12What is CPI?
The abbreviation remains in circulation. Its original calculation should not be trusted.
