In 1926, aged twenty-one, staying as the manager's guest at a club in Larchmont, New York on a Saturday night, he went to bed early reading a book, fell into a deep trance for ten or twelve hours, and woke cataleptic having become an infinite shoreless sea of vibrant living light, the light of the universe.
Told / reported
10 September 1967
stated · doubtful
10 September 1967
stated · doubtful
Why
Corrects the confidence of the told claim written by run `corpus v1 / phase3b` at delta 0 on this event; that claim is left standing per append-only. Ceiling rule #2132.
Reasoning
Confidence only; the date is not re-adjudicated and is left exactly as written. This claim is derived from the delivery claims of node 1974 and asserts `certain`, but the strongest claim that node carries is `probable`, so there is nothing for `certain` to inherit from. nid 1974 delivery claims: 1967-9-10 doubtful; 1967-10-9 probable. Walked back to `probable`, the ceiling. Whether the DATE is right is a separate question this row does not touch; if the evidence turns out to support more confidence, it will have to come from a source other than this node.
9 October 1967
estimated · probable
Why
Append-only correction beside retained legacy told rows; duplicate verdict noted but no merge proposed.
Reasoning
The event is narrated in node 1974. Its authoritative delivery adjudication selects 1967-10-09 at probable confidence, so the told claim inherits that date and weakest-link confidence and is typed estimated as node-derived.
