Verification Notes

Fresh full-copy audit: 302 sheets read and visually surveyed; selected evidence rechecked in enlarged renders. This records a 2019 author's viewpoint about an ambiguous label, not an absence of all association-specific definitions. Scale, ownership, method and sourcing should be separate profile fields. Earlier page 84 locator corrected from the rendered screen to page 85. Verification concerns source fidelity, not independent endorsement of every source assertion.

One Citation record represents one source-and-locator reference. It must be reusable, verifiable, and connected to every evidence object that depends on it.

Authoritative locator: Displayed p. 85 / PDF sheet 87. This supersedes any older locator in the legacy citation text above.

This records a 2019 author's viewpoint about an ambiguous label, not an absence of all association-specific definitions. Scale, ownership, method and sourcing should be separate profile fields. Earlier page 84 locator corrected from the rendered screen to page 85.

The whole supplied copy was read and visually surveyed; the locator was checked in enlarged source images. Source-fidelity verification does not independently validate every historical or scientific claim.
