THE CORRECTION · WHY THE CLAIM MOVED
The boundary beneath the tab.
Genesis places the serpent “among the beasts of the field which the LORD God had made” and gives it an animal’s sentence. The Codex holds that the merging is real, that it is late, and that everything earlier must be read without it.
THE RECORD STATE
What is public, and how precisely dated.
The claim and correction are published at tab and entry depth. Dependent copy is governed by this boundary wherever the claim appears.
Affected locationsVolume Zero
Date precisionYear-level date preserved from the supplied register; no month or day has been invented.
As-run reportThe source-linked report has not yet been transferred from the working record. No report has been invented to close the seam.
SOURCES · NAMED AND LOCATABLE
The evidence remains outside the claim.
An entry is not permitted to make a missing report look complete. Published source trails remain linked; pending transfers remain visibly pending.
TRANSFER STATUS
The correction is public. Its source-linked as-run report is not yet published in this Record. The wording above is transferred from the supplied standing register; it is not a substitute for the report.
SUPERSESSION
This is the current entry.
It supersedes no earlier published entry and has not been superseded. If that changes, both directions of the chain will remain visible here.
