    Source Imagination's Power ¶39Passage 544565 places the same David/Father vision 139 days after Neville's 1959-07-20 awakening; passage 550808 identifies it as Neville's direct experience.
    Reasoning Passage 550808 identifies Neville's experience in which David stands before him and reveals him as Father. Passage 544565 recounts the same sequence in the first person and places David's appearance 139 days after the established 1959-07-20 awakening. The resulting date is 1959-12-06. The episode match is specific and canonical event 7945 independently records the same calculation, but since the day is computed rather than spoken, confidence remains probable. This exact estimate substantively supersedes the coarse delivery envelope.

    Source Poor Brother DonkeyPoor Brother Donkey carrier node 1983; preferred delivery claim is 1971-10-18 exact/certain from its recovered transcript dateline.
    Reasoning This telling occurs in node 1983, whose preferred delivery claim is 1971-10-18 exact/certain, directly recovered from the transcript's opening chrome and corroborated by the earlier estimate and catalog year. A told date inherited from a lecture node is typed estimated. This appends the supported full day and correct semantic type, superseding the existing year-only stated told row without editing it. The occurrence date was derived independently and did not consume this carrier anchor.
