THE CORRECTION · WHY THE CLAIM MOVED

The boundary beneath the tab.

Competing proposals include begetter of Sabaoth (Scholem), son of shame (Black), and derivations from Yah(weh) Elohei-Sabaoth or Iao Sabaoth.

Of the three Demiurge names, only Samael has a secure meaning—and only because the Coptic texts gloss it themselves: blind god.

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.
