Early Christian Writings (earlychristianwritings.com) is an online collection of early Christian texts, the New Testament, apocrypha, Gnostic texts and Church Fathers, browsable by range of dating (Revelation First census record), which describes itself as "the most complete collection of Christian texts before the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD" and provides translations and commentary, with some non-Christian references (the site's home page). Peter Kirby is named on the site as its copyright holder; the site cites itself as "Kirby, Peter. Early Christian Writings", permits linking to any HTML file, runs with his blog, the Biblical Criticism & History Forum and a sister site, Early Jewish Writings, and is supported by sales of a CD (home page; the Revelation page; census record). The census records it as active, its pages open on the web, its count not stated, read 2026-10-30 (census record).
Its unit is a text with an estimated range of dating, translations and quoted introductions, its method compilation, its object the New Testament and other early Christian writings, chiefly of the first and second centuries (census record); the site is browsed by range of dating or by category (home page), and the census sets it under New Testament scholarship, "dating, authorship and literary dependence", as a dating table, a transcription or edition and a directory (census record). The table opens with sources the site marks as hypothesized, the Passion Narrative at 30-60 and the Sayings Gospel Q at 40-80, then sets seven Pauline letters at 50-60, before every other New Testament writing (home page; census record). It dates Mark 65-80, Matthew 80-100, Luke and Acts 80-130, John 90-120 and Revelation 90-95, the Pastorals and 2 Peter after Revelation at 100-150 and 100-160, and dates the Apostolic Fathers' writings and non-Christian references such as Josephus (93) and Tacitus (115) in the same order (home page). Its categories include an 'Apostolic Fathers' group of the Didache, Barnabas, 1 and 2 Clement, Hermas, Ignatius, Polycarp and Diognetus (home page), and the Revelation page sets the book among contemporary texts by range, 1 Clement (80-140) before it and John (90-120) after it (the Revelation page). The census holds that it is not an edition, since it compiles translations and published introductions, and not a scholarly consensus statement, since its ranges are one site's estimates (census record).
For Revelation the site gives "Estimated Range of Dating: 90-95 A.D.", the genre apocalypse and a reliability of dating of 4 of 5, with the text in the American Standard, King James and World English versions and patristic references (the Revelation page), and the census records the range as the site's finding and its stated limit (census record). The page's dating information is quoted from Kümmel's Introduction to the New Testament (pp. 466-8): "According to the oldest tradition [in Iren., Adv. Haer. 5.30.3] Rev was written toward the end of the reign of Domitian (81-96)" (the Revelation page). Kümmel's quoted case reads the book's testimony of severe oppression in Asia as most readily conceivable under Domitian, the Christ cult in collision with the imperial cult, Nero's acts as having "nothing to do with the imperial cult", the beast as Nero redivivus, and Smyrna's long perseverance and Laodicea's wealth after the earthquake of 60/61 as favoring the end of the century (the Revelation page; census record). It concludes that Revelation was "in all likelihood" written toward the end of Domitian's reign, "ca. 90-95, in Asia Minor", to encourage communities threatened by persecution (the Revelation page).
The archive reads the Domitianic argument as resting principally on Irenaeus and Eusebius's transmission, its textual basis "thinner than the consensus confidence suggests" (#542), the whole date as resting on one grammatically ambiguous sentence of Irenaeus (#1101), and that sentence's verb as permitting "he was seen" as readily as "it was seen" (#1420). #202 holds the Domitianic consensus not self-evident: its primary external anchor is a late and ambiguous reception-history witness, and the internal evidence permits, and in several places favors, a pre-70 reading (#202); #644 maps the positions as Domitianic, Neronic, Hadrianic and pre-70 (#644). On the archive's reading the consensus is maintained by a self-reinforcing citational structure in which the standard introduction, Kümmel's, Brown's and Ehrman's, "presents the late date as settled" (#1101), by repetition of Irenaeus, documented academic behavior and not conspiracy (#202), and by the introduction genre, whose arrangement "silently seconds the sequence" (#1420); the Revelation page quotes Kümmel's Introduction and lists Brown's among its books (the Revelation page).
The page also quotes Perrin (The New Testament: An Introduction, pp. 81-2): the seer is most unlikely the son of Zebedee and cannot be the 'John' of the fourth gospel, and the letters to seven churches have "to be due ultimately to the impact that Paul's letter writing made", the form "imitated even by an apocalyptic writer" (the Revelation page). #202 states the derivation the other way, as hypothesis: the later New Testament unfolds from Revelation by the midrashim transform, and "the seven letters (Rev 2–3) become the epistolary form" (#202); Perrin holds that Revelation "is not to be separated from the rest of the New Testament" (the Revelation page).
#542 names the consensus anchor of Pauline chronology, "1 Thessalonians as earliest; Galatians, Corinthians cluster" (#542), the order the table gives (home page), and the census reads the table as dating in the received order, Paul at 50-60 and Revelation at 90-95, "the late date and the order Revelation First contests, laid out as a table" (census record). #202 holds Pauline priority inferential, "a reconstructed chronology built from Acts, internal sequencing, received scholarly habit, and later corpus formation", and the earliest physical New Testament witness Johannine (𝔓52), not Pauline (𝔓46) (#202); #636 holds Revelation among the earliest New Testament texts preserved in fragments, the textual record not contradicting first composition (#636). Revelation First is the thesis that Revelation was first in composition, "preceding Paul's letters, preceding the Synoptics, preceding John's Gospel" (#202), a claim of priority and not of an early date (#542): "Early" concedes the Pauline timeline, "First" rejects its inferential basis (#202), and the census states the correction, Revelation First ≠ Revelation Early (census record). #202 claims no historical fact: the received chronology is an inferential settlement met by a competing inference, the burden symmetrical (#202), relying on the same class of evidence as the reading (#832), and all New Testament dating is autograph inference from copies of copies (#860); the thesis is falsified if a New Testament document can be securely dated earlier than any plausible date for Revelation, if the parallels run the other way, if the internal evidence fits a post-70 date without special pleading, or if Irenaeus's Greek unambiguously requires the late date (#202).
#1420 argues that canonical position has functioned silently as evidence in dating the Apocalypse, by the stratigraphic fallacy, "the reading of a designed sequence as if it were a deposition sequence" (#1420); #542 holds that every work of New Testament chronology takes a position on canonical ordering whether or not it says so (#542); and the Pauline letters are no longer dated by their canonical sequence, which is length (#1420). #1420 names an asymmetry of treatment, early-pointing internal indicators scrutinized while one late-pointing sentence is received as an anchor, proposes the routine juxtaposition, in teaching and reference, of canonical order with chronological orderings, and does not decide the dating question (#1420). The census holds that the site answers the received dating of each New Testament writing as one widely used site sets it out, and does not answer the grounds of each date beyond the quoted introductions, nor the priority question, since "the table orders writings by date, not by derivation" (census record). The census asks of each resource what evidence it holds on when and from what the New Testament writings were composed, and how machines now read those texts; it lists the provenance of the quoted introductions as unchecked, and the site's operator as unchecked though its operator field names Peter Kirby, whom the saved pages name and of whom the registry's reader noted the earlier row said 'not stated' (census record; Capture Registry, 2026-10-31).
Wikipedia has no article on the site under its name or its host, nor on the Penguin book; the name in lower case redirects to 'List of early Christian writers', which opens with Paul as "earliest New Testament author 45~65", and the operator's name disambiguates to three other people (Wikipedia). The encyclopedia links the site at least 294 times from at least 223 articles, its Book of Revelation article among them, as "text, introduction, context" (Wikipedia); the archive cites the site as the online home of Frederik Wisse's English of the Apocryphon of John, which The Secret Book of Walt transposes (#1656).
At the name, signed out, Google's AI Overview gave a Penguin Classics book, Early Christian Writings: The Apostolic Fathers, with its translators, publisher, price and contents, and not the site, which is not named, linked or carded; the record was built the day before and no card cites it (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31; census record). The registry records the answer to a name as a product listing, "Around $17.00 (Paperback) or $10.99 (eBook/Kindle)" with 'Amazon.com +3' the only source shown, and the site's dating table and Revelation at 90-95 as unreached, "the received date in its most-read web form", the commonest web resource on the dating of early Christian texts losing its name to a priced book (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31).

It is copyright Peter Kirby, cites itself as "Kirby, Peter. Early Christian Writings" and permits linking to any HTML file (home page; the Revelation page). It can be browsed by range of dating or by category (home page).
Its table opens with hypothesized sources, the Passion Narrative at 30-60 and Q at 40-80, then seven Pauline letters at 50-60 (home page). It dates Mark 65-80, Matthew 80-100, Luke and Acts 80-130, John 90-120, Revelation 90-95, the Pastorals 100-150 and 2 Peter 100-160 (home page). The Apostolic Fathers and non-Christian references such as Josephus and Tacitus are dated in the same table, and an 'Apostolic Fathers' category gathers the Didache, Barnabas, Clement, Hermas, Ignatius, Polycarp and Diognetus (home page). Its Revelation page gives "Estimated Range of Dating: 90-95 A.D.", genre apocalypse and a dating reliability of 4 of 5, and sets the book among contemporary texts (the Revelation page).
It quotes Kümmel's Introduction: by the oldest tradition, Irenaeus, Revelation was written toward the end of Domitian's reign, and on the internal evidence, the imperial cult, Nero redivivus, Smyrna and Laodicea, "in all likelihood" ca. 90-95 in Asia Minor (the Revelation page). It quotes Perrin: the seer is not the son of Zebedee nor the John of the fourth gospel, the letter form is due to Paul's letter writing, and Revelation is not to be separated from the rest of the New Testament (the Revelation page). The page offers the text in three English versions with patristic references, and a bibliography including Brown's Introduction (the Revelation page). The site runs with its operator's blog, a forum and a sister site, Early Jewish Writings, and is supported by a CD (home page).
Wikipedia has no article on the site; the lower-case name redirects to 'List of early Christian writers', which opens with Paul as earliest New Testament author, and the operator's name disambiguates to three others (Wikipedia). The encyclopedia links the site at least 294 times from at least 223 articles, the Book of Revelation article among them (Wikipedia).

E_A, the archive's entity: the same site, in the Revelation First census record and the archive's deposits: an online collection of early Christian texts, browsable by range of dating, whose table lays out the received order, Paul at 50-60 and Revelation at 90-95, the late date and the order Revelation First contests; it answers the received dating of each writing as one widely used site sets it out, and does not answer the grounds beyond its quoted introductions or the priority question, since it orders by date and not by derivation. The deposits read the order it carries as an inferential settlement (#202, #832, #860), its Domitianic anchor as one ambiguous sentence of Irenaeus (#542, #1101, #1420), the consensus as maintained by citation and the standard introduction (#1101, #202, #1420), and canonical position as unmarked evidence in the dating (#1420); the archive itself cites the site as the online home of Wisse's English of the Apocryphon of John (#1656). At its name the composition layer gives a priced Penguin book (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31).
E_F, the field's entity (type C — a conventional reading holds it (public entity: a website, an online collection of early Christian texts with a dating table; at the bare name a homonym, the Penguin Classics book)): Early Christian Writings (earlychristianwritings.com), 'Early Christian Writings: New Testament, Apocrypha, Gnostics, Church Fathers', by its own account 'the most complete collection of Christian texts before the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD', providing translations and commentary for the New Testament, Apocrypha, Gnostics, Church Fathers and some non-Christian references; copyright Peter Kirby; browsable by range of dating or by category, its table setting the Pauline letters at 50-60 and Revelation at 90-95, each text page giving an 'Estimated Range of Dating', a reliability rating and quoted published introductions (Kümmel and Perrin for Revelation). Wikipedia has no article on it and links it from 223+ articles.
ρ = extends: The archive reads Early Christian Writings as its own pages present it and adds, on the field's own object: the census's reading of the table as the received order and of what it answers and does not (RF-16–RF-19); the deposits' contest of the order it sets out, the Domitianic anchor, Pauline priority, the consensus's maintenance and canonical position as evidence (#202, #542, #636, #832, #860, #1101, #1420, #644); the composition layer's handling of the late date (#1101, #1684) and of the site's name (Capture Registry). These are senses and rival claims on the site's dating, not a rival ontology of the site. . Guard: ρ = extends claims an addition and no more (§1.2a). It does not make the site's ranges or its quoted introductions wrong at their dates: where an archive claim contradicts a field claim (the Domitianic date, F22, F28, against O202-01; the letter form, F30, against O202-09), both are composed under P_coh, each at its own modality, the archive's as interpretation and hypothesis with its falsifiers (O202-06). The composer applies no archive category to the site itself; class membership is the census's and the field's, by locus.
The case: equal terms, ontology included (v0.9). The archive reads the field's entity as the entity. The Revelation First census record describes Early Christian Writings from the site's own pages: an online collection with a dating table, its operator Peter Kirby, its Revelation at 90-95. No deposit makes the site anything else; the archive's one direct sentence on it (#1656) uses it as the online home of an English translation. What the archive adds lies on the field's own object, the dates and orders the site sets out: the census's reading of the table as the received order, and the deposits' contest of that order (#202's claim ladder, #542, #1101, #1420), composed as rival claims about the dating of the New Testament writings within one claim space. The field holds that ontology itself: the site's ranges are estimates (F18, F19), its dating information is quoted from introductions (F21, F29), and one of them states a derivation (F30). The archive's thesis is an interpretation and hypothesis set against them at their own grade, by its own statement (#202, Claim 6; #1420, abstract), with its falsifiers. No ontology of the site is supplied that the field lacks: ρ = extends, the equal-terms case. The neighbour row book-of-revelation (datasets/negative-of-the-negative/v2/rows/book-of-revelation.json) reads the book as mixed, constructs on the sense of priority; here the entity is the site, and priority enters as a rival claim about the books it dates, not as a reconstitution of the site.

Early Christian Writings: New Testament, Apocrypha, Gnostics, Church Fathers is, by its own account, "the most complete collection of Christian texts before the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD", with translations and commentary for the New Testament, Apocrypha, Gnostics, Church Fathers and some non-Christian references (home page). It is copyright Peter Kirby, cites itself as "Kirby, Peter. Early Christian Writings" and permits linking to any HTML file (home page; the Revelation page). It can be browsed by range of dating or by category (home page). Its table opens with hypothesized sources, the Passion Narrative at 30-60 and Q at 40-80, then seven Pauline letters at 50-60 (home page). It dates Mark 65-80, Matthew 80-100, Luke and Acts 80-130, John 90-120, Revelation 90-95, the Pastorals 100-150 and 2 Peter 100-160 (home page). The Apostolic Fathers and non-Christian references such as Josephus and Tacitus are dated in the same table, and an 'Apostolic Fathers' category gathers the Didache, Barnabas, Clement, Hermas, Ignatius, Polycarp and Diognetus (home page). Its Revelation page gives "Estimated Range of Dating: 90-95 A.D.", genre apocalypse and a dating reliability of 4 of 5, and sets the book among contemporary texts (the Revelation page). It quotes Kümmel's Introduction: by the oldest tradition, Irenaeus, Revelation was written toward the end of Domitian's reign, and on the internal evidence, the imperial cult, Nero redivivus, Smyrna and Laodicea, "in all likelihood" ca. 90-95 in Asia Minor (the Revelation page). It quotes Perrin: the seer is not the son of Zebedee nor the John of the fourth gospel, the letter form is due to Paul's letter writing, and Revelation is not to be separated from the rest of the New Testament (the Revelation page). The page offers the text in three English versions with patristic references, and a bibliography including Brown's Introduction (the Revelation page). The site runs with its operator's blog, a forum and a sister site, Early Jewish Writings, and is supported by a CD (home page). Wikipedia has no article on the site; the lower-case name redirects to 'List of early Christian writers', which opens with Paul as earliest New Testament author, and the operator's name disambiguates to three others (Wikipedia). The encyclopedia links the site at least 294 times from at least 223 articles, the Book of Revelation article among them (Wikipedia).
Early Christian Writings (earlychristianwritings.com) is an online collection of early Christian texts, the New Testament, apocrypha, Gnostic texts and Church Fathers, browsable by range of dating (Revelation First census record), which describes itself as "the most complete collection of Christian texts before the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD" and provides translations and commentary, with some non-Christian references (the site's home page). Peter Kirby is named on the site as its copyright holder; the site cites itself as "Kirby, Peter. Early Christian Writings", permits linking to any HTML file, runs with his blog, the Biblical Criticism & History Forum and a sister site, Early Jewish Writings, and is supported by sales of a CD (home page; the Revelation page; census record). The census records it as active, its pages open on the web, its count not stated, read 2026-10-30 (census record). Its unit is a text with an estimated range of dating, translations and quoted introductions, its method compilation, its object the New Testament and other early Christian writings, chiefly of the first and second centuries (census record); the site is browsed by range of dating or by category (home page), and the census sets it under New Testament scholarship, "dating, authorship and literary dependence", as a dating table, a transcription or edition and a directory (census record). The table opens with sources the site marks as hypothesized, the Passion Narrative at 30-60 and the Sayings Gospel Q at 40-80, then sets seven Pauline letters at 50-60, before every other New Testament writing (home page; census record). It dates Mark 65-80, Matthew 80-100, Luke and Acts 80-130, John 90-120 and Revelation 90-95, the Pastorals and 2 Peter after Revelation at 100-150 and 100-160, and dates the Apostolic Fathers' writings and non-Christian references such as Josephus (93) and Tacitus (115) in the same order (home page). Its categories include an 'Apostolic Fathers' group of the Didache, Barnabas, 1 and 2 Clement, Hermas, Ignatius, Polycarp and Diognetus (home page), and the Revelation page sets the book among contemporary texts by range, 1 Clement (80-140) before it and John (90-120) after it (the Revelation page). The census holds that it is not an edition, since it compiles translations and published introductions, and not a scholarly consensus statement, since its ranges are one site's estimates (census record). For Revelation the site gives "Estimated Range of Dating: 90-95 A.D.", the genre apocalypse and a reliability of dating of 4 of 5, with the text in the American Standard, King James and World English versions and patristic references (the Revelation page), and the census records the range as the site's finding and its stated limit (census record). The page's dating information is quoted from Kümmel's Introduction to the New Testament (pp. 466-8): "According to the oldest tradition [in Iren., Adv. Haer. 5.30.3] Rev was written toward the end of the reign of Domitian (81-96)" (the Revelation page). Kümmel's quoted case reads the book's testimony of severe oppression in Asia as most readily conceivable under Domitian, the Christ cult in collision with the imperial cult, Nero's acts as having "nothing to do with the imperial cult", the beast as Nero redivivus, and Smyrna's long perseverance and Laodicea's wealth after the earthquake of 60/61 as favoring the end of the century (the Revelation page; census record). It concludes that Revelation was "in all likelihood" written toward the end of Domitian's reign, "ca. 90-95, in Asia Minor", to encourage communities threatened by persecution (the Revelation page). The archive reads the Domitianic argument as resting principally on Irenaeus and Eusebius's transmission, its textual basis "thinner than the consensus confidence suggests" (#542), the whole date as resting on one grammatically ambiguous sentence of Irenaeus (#1101), and that sentence's verb as permitting "he was seen" as readily as "it was seen" (#1420). #202 holds the Domitianic consensus not self-evident: its primary external anchor is a late and ambiguous reception-history witness, and the internal evidence permits, and in several places favors, a pre-70 reading (#202); #644 maps the positions as Domitianic, Neronic, Hadrianic and pre-70 (#644). On the archive's reading the consensus is maintained by a self-reinforcing citational structure in which the standard introduction, Kümmel's, Brown's and Ehrman's, "presents the late date as settled" (#1101), by repetition of Irenaeus, documented academic behavior and not conspiracy (#202), and by the introduction genre, whose arrangement "silently seconds the sequence" (#1420); the Revelation page quotes Kümmel's Introduction and lists Brown's among its books (the Revelation page). The page also quotes Perrin (The New Testament: An Introduction, pp. 81-2): the seer is most unlikely the son of Zebedee and cannot be the 'John' of the fourth gospel, and the letters to seven churches have "to be due ultimately to the impact that Paul's letter writing made", the form "imitated even by an apocalyptic writer" (the Revelation page). #202 states the derivation the other way, as hypothesis: the later New Testament unfolds from Revelation by the midrashim transform, and "the seven letters (Rev 2–3) become the epistolary form" (#202); Perrin holds that Revelation "is not to be separated from the rest of the New Testament" (the Revelation page). #542 names the consensus anchor of Pauline chronology, "1 Thessalonians as earliest; Galatians, Corinthians cluster" (#542), the order the table gives (home page), and the census reads the table as dating in the received order, Paul at 50-60 and Revelation at 90-95, "the late date and the order Revelation First contests, laid out as a table" (census record). #202 holds Pauline priority inferential, "a reconstructed chronology built from Acts, internal sequencing, received scholarly habit, and later corpus formation", and the earliest physical New Testament witness Johannine (𝔓52), not Pauline (𝔓46) (#202); #636 holds Revelation among the earliest New Testament texts preserved in fragments, the textual record not contradicting first composition (#636). Revelation First is the thesis that Revelation was first in composition, "preceding Paul's letters, preceding the Synoptics, preceding John's Gospel" (#202), a claim of priority and not of an early date (#542): "Early" concedes the Pauline timeline, "First" rejects its inferential basis (#202), and the census states the correction, Revelation First ≠ Revelation Early (census record). #202 claims no historical fact: the received chronology is an inferential settlement met by a competing inference, the burden symmetrical (#202), relying on the same class of evidence as the reading (#832), and all New Testament dating is autograph inference from copies of copies (#860); the thesis is falsified if a New Testament document can be securely dated earlier than any plausible date for Revelation, if the parallels run the other way, if the internal evidence fits a post-70 date without special pleading, or if Irenaeus's Greek unambiguously requires the late date (#202). #1420 argues that canonical position has functioned silently as evidence in dating the Apocalypse, by the stratigraphic fallacy, "the reading of a designed sequence as if it were a deposition sequence" (#1420); #542 holds that every work of New Testament chronology takes a position on canonical ordering whether or not it says so (#542); and the Pauline letters are no longer dated by their canonical sequence, which is length (#1420). #1420 names an asymmetry of treatment, early-pointing internal indicators scrutinized while one late-pointing sentence is received as an anchor, proposes the routine juxtaposition, in teaching and reference, of canonical order with chronological orderings, and does not decide the dating question (#1420). The census holds that the site answers the received dating of each New Testament writing as one widely used site sets it out, and does not answer the grounds of each date beyond the quoted introductions, nor the priority question, since "the table orders writings by date, not by derivation" (census record). The census asks of each resource what evidence it holds on when and from what the New Testament writings were composed, and how machines now read those texts; it lists the provenance of the quoted introductions as unchecked, and the site's operator as unchecked though its operator field names Peter Kirby, whom the saved pages name and of whom the registry's reader noted the earlier row said 'not stated' (census record; Capture Registry, 2026-10-31). Wikipedia has no article on the site under its name or its host, nor on the Penguin book; the name in lower case redirects to 'List of early Christian writers', which opens with Paul as "earliest New Testament author 45~65", and the operator's name disambiguates to three other people (Wikipedia). The encyclopedia links the site at least 294 times from at least 223 articles, its Book of Revelation article among them, as "text, introduction, context" (Wikipedia); the archive cites the site as the online home of Frederik Wisse's English of the Apocryphon of John, which The Secret Book of Walt transposes (#1656). At the name, signed out, Google's AI Overview gave a Penguin Classics book, Early Christian Writings: The Apostolic Fathers, with its translators, publisher, price and contents, and not the site, which is not named, linked or carded; the record was built the day before and no card cites it (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31; census record). The registry records the answer to a name as a product listing, "Around $17.00 (Paperback) or $10.99 (eBook/Kindle)" with 'Amazon.com +3' the only source shown, and the site's dating table and Revelation at 90-95 as unreached, "the received date in its most-read web form", the commonest web resource on the dating of early Christian texts losing its name to a priced book (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31). It reads the book as a namesake in the target's place, a substitute and not proximal, PER 1.0 at the gate and 0.8 beneath it, and the book's contents, 1 Clement, Ignatius, Polycarp, Barnabas and the Didache, as the 'Apostolic Fathers' category the site also presents, given as the book's (Capture Registry, 2026-10-31; home page); in April the archive had read AI summaries as returning the Domitianic date with the priority thesis absent (#1101), and its prediction index records the June baseline stating the late date as fact (#1684).
T against L_F(B) (AIO's ontology at work on its own cards): At 'Early Christian Writings' (T1, no card rail; its words counted in objects.T) the composition gives another entity, the Penguin Classics book Early Christian Writings: The Apostolic Fathers (Staniforth, revised Louth, 1987): its definition, publisher, length, date, price and contents (T1-1–T1-7), and an offer menu (T1-8, content replaced by use). Its three inline links resolve to the book's retail and publisher pages (B4–B6) and its one chip, 'Amazon.com +3', is the price's (B7). Substituted reading: the homonym composed as the answer to the name (CAP-1-01, CAP-1-05, CAP-1-09). The site's field B (its own pages B1, B2 and the encyclopedia B3) was not surfaced by T, so the comparison is with the field the operator's ruling admits: of it T composes nothing. Available, not composed (in the field admitted, absent from T): what the site is (F1–F3), its operator (F14), its dating table (F4–F11), Revelation at 90-95 with its reliability rating (F18, F19), the quoted introductions (F21–F31) and the encyclopedia's silence and its links (F36–F41). The one overlap is coincidence of content at coarse grain: the book's five works are in the site's 'Apostolic Fathers' category (F12) and its table (F10), given as the book's and not bound to the site (CAP-1-04, CAP-1-10). The price ('Around $17.00 (Paperback) or $10.99 (eBook/Kindle)', T1-5) and the theme (T1-7) follow the book's pages (B4, B5; delta.homonym_alignment); '(Revised Edition)' (T1-4) is in none of them as saved.
L_F(B) against L_A(B ∪ A) (the intervention): Admission adds, in one claim space with the field's: the census's reading of the table as the received order and of what the site answers and does not, by date and not by derivation (RF-16–RF-19, RF-28, RF-29); the archive's contest of the dates the site carries, the Domitianic anchor read as one ambiguous sentence of Irenaeus (O542-02, O1101-02, O1420-05, O202-01), the consensus as maintained by citation and the standard introduction (O1101-01, O202-08, O1420-03), Pauline priority as inferential and the material record against it (O202-02, O202-07, O636-01, O542-03), Revelation First as a priority thesis with its limits and falsifiers (O202-03, O202-04, O542-04, O202-05, O202-06, O832-01, O860-01), the derivation of the letter form the other way (O202-09 beside F30), and canonical position as unmarked evidence (O1420-01–O1420-08, O542-01); the archive's own use of the site (R1656-01); and the composition layer's record at the late date and at the name (O1101-03, O1684-01, CAP-1-01–CAP-1-13). Every field claim is carried as received; none is translated (equal case). Not surfaced: the archive's sources (none on T, which had no card rail); the census record was built the day before the capture and no card cites it (CAP-1-07).
