Asked the title, the Overview names the paper's makers as heteronyms of Lee Sharks, gives the deposit date, the venue and the epigraph (Rev 4:8, whose order ὁ ἦν καὶ ὁ ὢν the record prints), states the turnabout of the title, and names the four powers in the record's order. It is attributed. Read against the record, five things move. (1) The charge is quoted with a word the record lacks: 'proposes a source relation that the physical evidence does not show' against the record's 'proposes a source relation the evidence does not show'. (2) The four powers are glossed loosely: presupposition as degree ('how heavily … assumed') where the record has entry as a premise without prior proof; text as 'assumed stability' where the record has 'a wording, an apparatus and an edition'; candidacy as 'viability to act as an explanatory root' where the record has admission 'wherever a source is sought'. Assignment is near. (3) Revelation First is framed from outside, 'a minority position' on 'the Book of Revelation (or a core layer of it)'; neither phrase is in the record, and the core layer is foreign to it. (4) The synoptic problem is made the paper's target, where the record 'leaves the synoptic problem undecided' and audits the allocation of status. (5) The existing text is left plural and unnamed, 'tangible, existing texts', where the title's 'the One That Exists' names the Apocalypse. The centre is absent: Hitzig's reading of Matt 24:30 and Rev 1:7 (1843, 'einen zwingenden Beweis'), the five critics after him, the source theories that never admitted it, the census of 2.53 million words, the Feist comparison.
