Neville's resurrection experience: he retired as usual, an unearthly wind rose in his head, he awoke inside his sealed skull, pushed at its base until it gave way, squeezed himself out like a child from the womb, saw the body he had left behind vanish, and found three men where it had lain, one of whom picked up an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and said 'Why, it's Neville's baby.'

bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [532318] belong to telling lecture nids [1179]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1964 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1964 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 15 December 1964
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1964 to before 1964-12-15.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1179 (certain delivery 1964-12-15); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1964`, 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 1964-12-15 on nid 1179 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim, and MIN was taken across this event's 2 certain told dates. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
