In his twenties Neville had a vision in which he stood between a supremely beautiful woman and a hairy ape-like monster that called her 'Mother'; he beat the monster, which grew on the violence, then realised both were his own emanations and vowed to redeem the monster, whereupon it dissolved and all its misused energy returned to him.

between 1925 and 1934

before 12 January 1965
bound
Source
bound from the telling lecture nid 1183 (1965-01-12)
Reasoning
The event is told in the past tense in nid 1183, delivered 1965-01-12 (that claim's confidence: certain, preferred), so it had happened by that date. This is the same premise phase4 L6a and L4.5 rest on, stated at the precision the evidence actually supports rather than as a fabricated year. It replaces nothing: the 1900 placeholder row remains, lowered, as the record of what phase3b did. `bound` is never `preferred`, so this does not change what the event displays.

Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 009)
Reasoning
Passage 532481: the ape-like beast that calls the glorious woman 'mother' and that he vows to redeem is the same vision as chronology 16309, dated 1925..1934. Nothing in the passage narrows it.
between 1925 and 1934
relative · probable
Reasoning
Neville dates this vision to his twenties. His birth date, 1905-02-19, is independently corroborated elsewhere in the corpus (Wikipedia bio and a genealogy research note), bounding his twenties to 1925-1934. Held probable given the imprecision of a decades-later 'in my twenties' recollection.
c. 1900
stated · refuted
Reasoning
|| v1.1/l1.4/sentinel1900: year 1900 here is not a date. `corpus v1 / phase3b` emitted it as a placeholder for "unknown, sometime before the telling" whenever the speaker used a vague temporal phrase — this row's own source note is the phrase. The same sentinel was identified and converged on in run v1.1/l0.5/retype/w1-conv. It carried confidence `probable`, which no evidence supported. Lowered to `doubtful`; an honest `before 1965-01-12` bound is appended alongside from the telling lecture (nid 1183). Nothing deleted, no year invented. || v1.1/l1.4/sentinel1900-refute: REFUTED. This event involves Neville himself and he was born 1905-02-19 (event 950 delta 9, `certain` + `preferred`), so 1900 is not merely unsupported — it is impossible. The event now displays no date, which is the honest state: the `before` bound appended by v1.1/l1.4/sentinel1900 remains and is what is actually known. Row kept, not deleted.

stated · probable
Reasoning
The lecture has no certain delivery claim: the chrome dateline is the best-supported candidate (title-matching, document-native) but is itself only probable given the conflict with two doubtful catalog claims, so field_told is capped at probable. That delivery-date conflict has already been filed as an l1 candidate by a prior run.
