Reading
Replication across address form at the same item: the flattening is not an artefact of the phrasing 'what does X mean'. Panel item P-DICT-BANK, adjacent form: 1 of 3, N_eff^sense 1.0, DS 0.33.
Findings
- Second address form, same result: financial sense only.
- Same four sources; the composition is effectively identical across forms.
- The unreached sense is again in the first organic snippet.
Analysis analyst prose, not machine text
Seated 2026-09-15 as wave 1 of the flattening panel's world strata (EA-FLAT-01 §4): eight items with no prior observation, run in one session, signed out, one surface. Coding is by TACHYON with the operator and is NOT blind — the panel's conflation targets were authored in the same session, and the schema records blind:false on every row of this wave. Distinction inventories are the panel's; where an inventory proved incomplete it was corrected in the same commit and the correction recorded.
Machine text, verbatim
CAPTURE-TIME VERBATIM RECORD — the composition and the organic layer as pasted by the operator (paired-layer). NOTE: the operator reports that select-all on this surface does not currently select the Overview's source cards, only the organic results; chips recorded here are those that appeared inline in the pasted text, and their absence in a given capture is a limitation of the capture method, not an observation about the composition. · complete as pasted; Overview chips partially captured (see transcript_class) · READ IN FULL 2026-09-15
