Corpus assembled
The single proof work is Random Reminiscences of Men and Events. It is a
short memoir, so — unlike a large treatise where only doctrinal chapters are
mined — the whole book is the evidence pool. See CORPUS_BOUNDARY.md.
Attribution layers (voice metadata)
voice: rockefeller— Rockefeller's own first-person reflective voice. This is
almost the whole book.- Inside his prose Rockefeller quotes a few others (his partner Flagler, the
Boston merchant on rebates, Mr. Foley the Irish neighbour, his mother, his
father). Those are quotations reported by Rockefeller: verbatim in the
corpus, but the note names the reported speaker. He endorses or reports them;
they are evidence for his narrative, not independent authorities.
RU layer
No PD Russian translation of Random Reminiscences was ingested. All Russian
renderings in this vault are our own careful translations from the PD English,
marked «перевод наш». English is the primary evidence pool; every evidence
blockquote is a verbatim English substring of rockefeller_pg17090.txt.
Self-check
scripts/verify_quotes.py re-checks that every > blockquote in concepts/,
principles/ and chains/ is a whitespace-normalized, case-exact verbatim
substring of sources/rockefeller_pg17090.txt, and that every [[wikilink]]
resolves. sources/qsearch.py is the single-phrase helper used while writing.
