The first time his father heard him lecture in New York City, his father told him not to advise closing the eye completely when meditating but only partly; his father, who started with nothing and left enterprises worth over five million at eighty-five, sat every morning after breakfast seeing his day's transactions completed.

Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [546809] belong to telling lecture nids [1851]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1964 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1964 is the MIN across telling lectures.

before 1 May 1964
bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1964 to before 1964-05-01.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1851 (certain delivery 1964-05-01); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1964`, 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 1964-05-01 on nid 1851 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

23 February 1965
estimated · probable
Why
Node-derived telling date.
Reasoning
Passage 548103 is a direct telling of this event in node 1895. The node's preferred delivery claim is 1965-02-23 at probable confidence, which the telling inherits without exceeding it.
23 February 1965
estimated · probable
Source
Preferred inherited delivery claim on The Dreamer, node 2201, carrying passage 555520.
Why
Node-derived telling date through duplicate-witness identity.
Reasoning
Passage 555520 is another direct telling in node 2201. That node inherits the 1965-02-23 delivery from the independently dated duplicate witness at probable confidence, so the told claim is estimated.
23 February 1965
estimated · probable
Source
Preferred inherited delivery claim on The Dreamer, node 3960, carrying passage 556277.
Why
Node-derived telling date through duplicate-witness identity.
Reasoning
Passage 556277 is a further telling in node 3960. Its preferred delivery claim is inherited from node 1895 as 1965-02-23 at probable confidence, making this a node-derived estimated told claim.
23 February 1965
stated · probable
Why
nid 3960 is an ASR duplicate witness of this same telling occasion, inheriting the same 1965-02-23 date; not filed as a separate told row.
Reasoning
The lecture whose passage (548103) carries this telling is dated 1965-02-23; the delivery claim itself is probable, so the told claim is capped at probable, not certain.
