He recounts beholding at the base of his own spine a golden radiant light having the appearance of a man, glowing above and below the loins, and knowing that it was himself.
Date (happened)
before 1961
bound · possible
Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [550875] belong to telling lecture nids [1984]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1961 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1961 is the MIN across telling lectures.
before 1963
bound · possible
Why
Corrects the phase4 L6a envelope on this event from before 1961 to before 1963.
Reasoning
Envelope recompute, arithmetic only. The phase4 L6a row on this event states its own rule: each telling lecture contributes MAX of its non-refuted delivery years, and the envelope is the MIN across telling lectures. Recomputed live over lecture nid(s) 1984 that row cites, MAX(non-refuted field_delivery_year) gives 1963, not the 1961 the row carries — the bound was below its own stated rule and therefore UNSAFE: it asserted the event did not happen in 2 year(s) where it may sit. Same premise, same evidence, no re-reading and no re-judgement; only the maximum was taken correctly. The L6a row stands beside this one (append-only). Ruling: #2235 delta 1, architect 378.
before 3 May 1963
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1963 to before 1963-05-03.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1984 (certain delivery 1963-05-03); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1963`, 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 1963-05-03 on nid 1984 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

Why

1 claim, no conflict: 1963-05-03 (node:1984).

estimated
Reasoning
Passage 550875 is Neville describing on the platform the golden radiant light he beheld at the base of his spine; the lecture carrying this telling (nid 1984) is dated 1963-05-03 by its most precise, certain delivery claim, so the telling inherits that date at the same precision.

So he puts us through all these sufferings. But, my Lord, the gift! The gift is the gift of creativity. He gives us himself. So when I beheld at the base of my spine, this golden radiant light—if you want to read it, read it in Ezekiel 1:27 and 8:2—here, I beheld it had the appearance of man; but at what appeared to be the loins, there was a glow of light that rose; and then, at what appeared to be the loins, going down, was light, just radiant light. That’s exactly what it is, right at the base of the loins, and you see it; and strangely enough, you know it is yourself. |
