Neville keeps photographs of his dead father and mother in his living room, where he sees them daily, smiles at them and talks to them.
Date (happened)
before 1968
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [537871] belong to telling lecture nids [1349]. 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 8 April 1968
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1968 to before 1968-04-08.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1349 (certain delivery 1968-04-08); 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 1968-04-08 on nid 1349 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.
before 8 April 1968
bound · probable
Reasoning
Passage 537871 says Neville currently has and addresses his parents' photographs, so the practice existed by the lecture's claimed 1968-04-08 delivery. That delivery date is supported in this packet only by one legacy_unreviewed catalogue-derived row; outside funeral history is not packet evidence. The anchor is therefore the weakest link and caps the before bound at probable.
after 1959
bound · probable
Why
M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 019)
Reasoning
Passage 537871 speaks of both his father and mother as gone; his mother died in 1941 and his father in 1959 (events 815, 5951), so both are dead only after 1959.
