Neville first arrests and releases a historical restaurant scene

Neville recounts the first time he arrested the action: in spirit, with his body on the bed, he came upon a New England restaurant scene of about a hundred and fifty years earlier, stilled an activity in his own brain so that everything — a boy eating, a waitress, a bird, falling leaves, waving grass — froze like clay, examined them, then released the activity and everything moved on.

    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 3 and asserts `certain`, but the strongest claim that node carries is `doubtful`, so there is nothing for `certain` to inherit from. nid 3 delivery claims: 1970-6-5 doubtful. Walked back to `doubtful`, 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.
