Neville prints The Search

When he wrote up this vision as a story called "The Search", the person who read his manuscript persuaded him to tell it in the third person rather than as his own experience.

    Why dc1-agreement-20261004, pm-actor-551 (PM 8702)
    Reasoning All 4 claims agree on c. 1946: passage:527308; estimated (no source recorded); passage:542796; node:1745.

    Why M7 dating pass (529; 525's readers, packet 010)
    Reasoning Corroborated independently by event 969 (passage 545691, certain 1964 lecture: 'brought back a manuscript...in 1946...sent it off and it was published') and the frame's certain-dated event 7008 ('Neville writes The Search', 1946); the 'two years before' arithmetic from the doubtfully-dated 1948 lecture agrees with this stronger evidence.

    Source No One to Change but Self ¶23passage 527308 (lecture nid 988), 'printed by me two years ago under the title, THE SEARCH'
    Reasoning Neville states he printed THE SEARCH two years before this lecture. The lecture's only delivery claim (1948-02-16) is catalogue-only (catalog #3, no independent transcript or other corroboration in the packet), so the anchor itself is doubtful; arithmetic two years back from a doubtful 1948 anchor cannot exceed that ceiling, giving circa 1946 at doubtful.

    Source Awake O Sleeper ¶23qualifying source passages 542796; telling lecture nids 1745
    Reasoning Qualifying passage ids [542796] belong to telling lecture nids [1745]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1968 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1968 is the MIN across telling lectures.
  5. before 25 July 1968 bound

    Why Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1968 to before 1968-07-25.
    Reasoning L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1745 (certain delivery 1968-07-25); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1968`, 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 1968-07-25 on nid 1745 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

    Source No One to Change but Selfsole delivery claim on lecture nid 988: catalogue #3, 1948-02-16
    Reasoning The telling of the printing (this passage) belongs to lecture nid 988, whose only delivery claim is catalogue-only with no independent corroboration in the packet, so the telling date inherits that doubtful ceiling rather than the catalogue's stated certain confidence.
