SELECTED ORIGINAL PASSAGE

The signal exists.
Its significance may even be understood.
But permission remains untouched.

CONTEXT AND PROVENANCE

The excerpt is a hypothetical illustration. Unchanged permission does not prove that reopening failed to occur: the article allows a reopened decision to conclude with continuation. This is a focused elaboration of a precursor in the 11 August article, not an edit to that article.

PRESERVATION LIMIT

This is an author-controlled, version-specific transcription prepared for the Public Research Record with owner authorisation. It is not an independent historical archive, a complete article, or proof of publication-day byte identity. The author confirms no post-publication edits: AUTHOR ATTESTATION. Publication metadata and currently accessible or indexed text corroborate the account within the limits stated above. The preparation date is not the original article date.

INTEGRITY

The filename is the SHA-256 digest of these exact UTF-8 bytes. A changed copy must receive a new digest and URL; this file must not be overwritten. The digest checks the retained copy, not the historical source or scientific validity.
