Neville's 1959 Awakening (the Promise)

He recounts that when he awoke there was no one else present to lift him up — only the wind and the breath — so he awoke within himself.

    Source qualifying source passages 531366; telling lecture nids 1142
    Reasoning Qualifying passage ids [531366] belong to telling lecture nids [1142]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1969 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1969 is the MIN across telling lectures.
  6. before 27 January 1969 bound

    Why Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1969 to before 1969-01-27.
    Reasoning L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1142 (certain delivery 1969-01-27); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1969`, an envelope over delivery YEARS computed without reading text. Its premise is that the fact is true by the time it is told; on that same premise the DAY of the telling is a strictly better upper bound. Nothing is re-decided — the bound is stated to the precision the evidence always supported. The delivery claim for 1969-01-27 on nid 1142 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

    Why pm-actor-525: refuted by the M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 017): Computed from node 1041's refuted 1958-01-27 delivery date; node 1041 is now dated 1971 (probable), and 'twelve years ago' from 1971 gives 1959, matching every other telling of this event.
  4. c. 1964 stated · refuted
    Source age 59 + birth 1905 = 1964 (2 statements, told 1964)
    Why pm-actor-525: refuted by the M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 017): Derived from 'age 59' arithmetic on a delivery date no longer held for either witnessing lecture; two independent 'in ’59' statements at certain confidence fix the year directly.

    Why Lane L7 (#2354) re-derivation. Supersedes in substance, not in storage, the refuted-date told claim(s) on this event; those rows stand per append-only.
    Reasoning Re-derived, not walked down. The existing told claim(s) on this event took their date from a delivery claim on node 1041 that the corpus has since REFUTED, so the corpus was asserting that Neville told this on a day it separately says he did not lecture. That is a contradiction rather than an over-confidence, and lowering the confidence would have hidden it instead of resolving it. The refutation stands and the told claim is the wrong side of it. Node 1041 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1971-??-?? at `probable`. All claims on the node: 1958-1-27 refuted; 1971-??-?? probable (preferred). Superseded here: delta 0: 1958-01-27 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`) | delta 6: 1958-01-27 at `probable` (run `v1.1/l4/ceiling/c2`). The telling is dated by its lecture, so with the refuted date removed from consideration the surviving claim is what the telling inherits, at that claim own confidence and no higher.

    Why Corrects the confidence of the told claim written by run `corpus v1 / phase3b` at delta 0 on this event; that claim is left standing per append-only. Ceiling rule #2132.
    Reasoning Confidence only; the date is not re-adjudicated and is left exactly as written. This claim is derived from the delivery claims of node 1041 and asserts `certain`, but the strongest claim that node carries is `probable`, so there is nothing for `certain` to inherit from. nid 1041 delivery claims: 1958-1-27 refuted; 1971-??-?? probable. Walked back to `probable`, the ceiling. Whether the DATE is right is a separate question this row does not touch; if the evidence turns out to support more confidence, it will have to come from a source other than this node. || v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1041, 1958-1-27) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363).
