Reading
The control case that keeps the instrument honest: at an address of the same form, on the same surface, in the same session, a polysemous word is composed at full sense-diversity. Whatever produced the single sense at 'bank' is not a general property of this surface's dictionary compositions. The difference between the two items is the prior: the financial sense of bank is a commercially dominant attractor with its own vertical; crane's three senses are closer in weight. Panel item P-DICT-CRANE: 3 of 3, N_eff^sense 3.0, DS 1.0.
Findings
- Bird, machine and verb all reached, each as its own heading; two further uses added.
- Composed with a dictionary-style pronunciation key rather than an encyclopedic frame.
- Same surface, same session, same address form as 'what does bank mean' — and the opposite result.
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
