Neville's wife's older sister Al told him many years ago that she did not believe one word he taught — she did not believe in survival after death — and though they loved each other he could not convince her.
Date (happened)
between 1940 and 24 November 1967
unresolved
before 24 November 1967
bound
Source
bound from the telling lecture nid 1310 (1967-11-24)
Reasoning
The event is told in the past tense in nid 1310, delivered 1967-11-24 (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.
between 1940 and 24 November 1967
estimated · possible
Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 017)
Reasoning
Al is Catherine's older sister; Neville met Catherine in 1940 (event 810) and married her 1942-02-25 (819), so the sister-in-law exchange cannot be earlier. 'Many, many years ago' told in 1967 suggests the earlier part of the span, but no closer date is given.
before 1967
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [552958] belong to telling lecture nids [2089]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1967 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1967 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 24 November 1967
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1967 to before 1967-11-24.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 2089 (certain delivery 1967-11-24); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1967`, 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 1967-11-24 on nid 2089 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
before 1900
bound · refuted
Why
pm-actor-525: refuted by the M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 017): The 1900 year is a placeholder for 'unknown', not a date; 'before 1900' is incoherent for a remark made to a sister-in-law he acquired after 1940.
Reasoning
v1.1/l0.5/retype/w1-conv: type stated -> bound. Convergence of the w1 pass, which split on this exact shape — 25 rows with the 1900 sentinel year and a vague relative note were judged `stated` while 5 identical rows were judged `bound`. The 1900 here is a placeholder meaning "unknown, sometime before the telling", not a date any source stated; Neville was born in 1905, so "before 1900" is not a coherent bound on his own recollections. A claim whose year is that sentinel cannot be `stated`. Note the year itself remains wrong and is out of scope for L0.5, which may touch only `type` and `preferred` — reported separately. Source note as recorded: ""many, many years ago", told in Baptism Into One Body ("Truth, the Word of God") (nid 1310)" || 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 1967-11-24` bound is appended alongside from the telling lecture (nid 1310). Nothing deleted, no year invented.
