2026-09-16 locator crosswalk: use the named section Introduction. Internal retrieval: PDF sheets 7–7. On-screen “Page … of 224” labels belong to the captured ebook reader and are not certified print pagination. Original retrieval metadata retained below; historical and legal assertions remain source-attributed, not independently corroborated. Locator and supporting passage checked against both extracted text and rendered ebook-capture sheets during the complete sequential and visual review on 2026-08-27. Use as a tertiary synthesis; current-law, ownership, product, count, award, market, and causal claims require time-bounding or stronger corroboration. Excerpt audit history: Verified against the extracted text and rendered ebook-capture sheets during the complete sequential and visual review on 2026-08-27. The evidence is paraphrased; current-law, product, ownership, count, award, and market claims remain time-bounded or excluded. Fresh full-source audit September29: PDF7: deliberate revival is useful framing; avoid claiming all earlier regional practices disappeared.
Verified atomic evidence from a user-supplied Source. The evidence is stored as a paraphrase so the knowledge system remains useful without reproducing extended copyrighted text.
Evidence
Use Excerpt Text as the evidence statement and Excerpt Type to distinguish it from a direct quotation.
Location and context
Locator Start, Locator End, Source Section, and Context identify the rendered PDF passage and prevent the paraphrase from being detached from the author's argument.
Interpretation boundary
Annotation states the knowledge-system use. Linked Claims must not exceed the passage, and contextual evidence must not be treated as proof of current law, present market facts, or exhaustive regional practice.
