Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 018)
Reasoning
The five experiences he lists are dated in the chronology: birth from above 1959-07-20 (877), David 1959-12-06 (6885), splitting and ascent 1960-04-08 (7649), and the dove 1963-01-01 (8366, completion of the 1,260-day sequence). The event as a whole (the completed sequence) therefore falls in that span.
before 1968
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [537352] belong to telling lecture nids [1331]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1968 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1968 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 23 February 1968
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1968 to before 1968-02-23.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1331 (certain delivery 1968-02-23); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1968`, 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 1968-02-23 on nid 1331 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
before 23 February 1968
bound
Reasoning
Passage 550667 says 'I have actually experienced it' and then enumerates the complete sequence, establishing that it was complete before this telling. Node 1979's delivery date 1968-02-23 is supported by two independent recoveries of the source dateline and stands at certain with no competing claim. The passage supplies no intrinsic component dates, so a before bound at the certain carrier anchor is the maximum supported precision.
