Processing notes

  • source publication review
  • coordinate normalization for Night Watch where available
  • classification against FAL behavioral taxonomy
  • retention as a public comparison case

Ordinary-source checks

  • source interpretation retained from the cited literature
  • public summary avoids unsupported origin claims
  • comparison use is behavioral rather than evidentiary

Release limits

  • interpretation remains with the cited source record
  • FAL classification is behavioral and does not replace the original literature
  • coordinates are shown only when stable public values are available
