    Source The Divine Body ¶30passage 528443 (lecture nid 1036), 'Mother died in 41'; corroborated by passage 547091
    Reasoning Neville explicitly states that his mother died in 1941; passage 547091 independently repeats that she left the family in 1941. No month or day is asserted.
  4. c. November 1941 stated · probable
    Source Immortal Man ¶40
    Reasoning Passage 553779 has Neville say plainly that his mother died 'back in 1941, ... just about a month before Pearl Harbor.' The attack on Pearl Harbor was 1941-12-07, so 'about a month before' places her death at circa November 1941.

    Reasoning Qualifying passage ids [540761] belong to telling lecture nids [1474]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1969 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1969 is the MIN across telling lectures.

    Source corpus anchor: Neville's mother dies, 1941 (hist_event 5960, certain)
    Why The existing 1966-1967 between-range is left standing per append-only; it is contradicted by the corpus's own certain 1941 anchor and should not be relied on.
    Reasoning The existing d0 'between 1966-02-19 and 1967-02-18' claim equals Neville's own birth date (1905-02-19, hist_event 950) plus 61 years exactly, showing it misapplied Neville's age-anchor to a passage describing his MOTHER dying 'at the age of sixty-one' -- her own birth year is not given anywhere in the packet, so her age cannot be turned into a date this way. The corpus already carries her death at 1941 (certain, hist_event 5960), which this event's own description (bore twelve children, died of cancer) plainly narrates the same death. Confidence is capped at probable because equating this event with hist_event 5960 is an inference I cannot verify against that event's own witnesses, which are outside this packet.

    Reasoning Re-derived, not walked down. The existing told claim(s) on this event took their date from a delivery claim on node 1232 that the corpus has since REFUTED, so the corpus was asserting that Neville told this on a day it separately says he did not lecture. That is a contradiction rather than an over-confidence, and lowering the confidence would have hidden it instead of resolving it. The refutation stands and the told claim is the wrong side of it. Node 1232 surviving (non-refuted) claim: 1966-1-14 at `certain`. All claims on the node: 1966-1-14 certain; 1969-4-7 refuted; 1966-1-14 certain (preferred). Superseded here: delta 1: 1969-04-07 at `certain` (run `corpus v1 / phase3b`).

    Reasoning Passage 553779 narrates the mother's death within lecture nid=2137 ('Immortal Man'), whose own delivery date (1972, year only) is an unreviewed legacy backfill copied from historical event 1195, not independently verified here. || v1.1 type repair: written as `stated` by run v1.1/l4/actor417/8000-9999-b17, retyped `estimated` — the claim cites node 2137, not a passage, so it is this lane's inference rather than something Neville said in so many words (#2117).

    Why Corrects the confidence of the told claim written by run `corpus v1 / phase3b` at delta 5 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 1252 and asserts `certain`, but the strongest claim that node carries is `probable`, so there is nothing for `certain` to inherit from. nid 1252 delivery claims: 1967-1-18 possible; 1966-10-7 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. || v1.1/l7/told-close: the delivery claim this was derived from (nid 1252, 1967-1-18) was refuted by the L7 adjudication (#2363). The corrected told claim from the same lecture stands at 1966-10-7. This row is retired rather than deleted so the derivation history remains readable.

    Source The Promise's Fulfillment in YouThe Promise's Fulfillment in You (nid 1474), telling 1474-0, told 1969-08-21
    Reasoning || v1.1/l7/told-lower: lowered `certain` -> `doubtful`. The telling-date 1969-08-21 is refuted on the source lecture (nid 1474) and no live claim on that node supports it, so the corpus can no longer say WHEN this was told. ⛔ The row is KEPT, not retired: it also records THAT nid 1474 tells this event, which is true and checkable from the passages, and retiring it would discard that with the date.
