EA-CORPORA-01 Seat 02 places the complete Catullus on alexanarch as verified, parsable primary text, and is the Crimson Hexagonal Archive's fifteen-hundredth deposit. The seating follows the pattern established by Seat 01: Merrill's edition via the Perseus Digital Library preserved byte-for-byte and pinned to a specific source commit, beside a line-normalized layer of 2,311 reference-tagged lines across 116 poems, with a source manifest and SHA-256 checksums binding edition, license, and normalization rule. An automated collation gate verified carmen 51 before commit at the loci on which the program's frozen operator clauses were derived — the opening Ille mi par esse deo, the instantaneity marker simul te adspexi, the numbed tongue and the flame beneath the limbs — with the transmitted lacuna at the voice-station preserved untouched. The record notes the fitness of the sequence: Catullus is the one witness in the attested Sappho 31 reception chain whose attribution survived transmission intact, and he takes the archive's round number in a project whose thesis is that keeping the name is an engineering problem with a solution. The canonical seat resides at data/corpora/catullus; reading sites carry projections by reference.
