Citation Integrity Spot-Check — Sample Selection (2026-06-07 comprehensive audit, Phase 6)

Status: SAMPLE SELECTED — READ-ONLY. No verification performed yet. Verification is the next step.

Method: 20 citations selected, weighted by fabrication risk per AUDIT_PLAN Phase 6. Bias toward specific journal/volume/page references to works not in raw/ (highest fabrication risk). in-raw? = whether the cited work is present in raw/ (verifiable against original) vs. absent (verifiable only against the citing source's own footnotes/biblio, if that source is in raw). Risk: H/M/L.

Bucket allocation: 12 HEAVY (4 newest sources + derived concept pages) · 4 audit-produced/claim-home pages · 3 older pre-traceability MP concept pages · 1 Faul-pattern probe.

Faul-Pattern Probe Result (item 20)

VERDICT: fabricated pattern ABSENT from all wiki body pages. Real paper PRESENT, in raw, and correctly cited. CLEAN.

  • Fabricated title "Painter's Courage": ZERO occurrences in any source/concept/entity/question body page. The string appears in the wiki only in governance/provenance/log files documenting the incident itself: wiki/log.md (781, 795 — prior 2026-04-25 audit's clean-check record + Rule 16 motivation), wiki/claims.md (651 — Counterpressure block preserving the incident for traceability), wiki/schema-changelog.md (491 — Rule 16 provenance). All expected, none a live citation. Outside wiki/: CLAUDE.md, AUDIT_PLAN.md, .claude/agents/*, .claude/skills/audit/SKILL.md — all incident-documentation, not citations.
  • "JBSP 55" / "JBSP … 2024" attributed to Faul: the only Faul + JBSP 55:2 + 2024 combination in the corpus is the real paper (see below). No fabricated variant.
  • Real paper IS cited and IS in raw: "Ontologically Interactive Painting: On Susan Rothenberg's Three Heads," Caleb Faul, Journal of the British Society for Phenomenology 55:2, 184–197 (2024) — present at raw/Faul_2024_Ontologically_Interactive_Painting.md. Cited across wiki/sources/faul-2024-ontologically-interactive-painting.md, wiki/entities/caleb-faul.md, wiki/entities/susan-rothenberg.md, wiki/concepts/interactive-ontology.md, wiki/concepts/institution.md, wiki/concepts/two-historicities.md, wiki/concepts/pregnancy-pragnanz.md, and wiki/index.md.
  • Note: the fabricated citation reused the real paper's journal/volume/year (JBSP 55:2, 2024) but swapped the title ("The Painter's Courage" ← fabricated; "Ontologically Interactive Painting" ← real). Verifiers checking other vague journal-vol-year references (esp. items 2, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, 18 — works not in raw) should watch for the same title-swap-on-real-shell pattern.

Notes for the verifying pass

  • Highest-priority (H, work not in raw, specific journal/vol/page or named-work-and-year): #2 (Koyré), #7 (Foucault attribution), #9 (Pietz Res 6/16), #10 (Chouraqui Tijdschrift 84:1), #11 (Huizinga HL 3/111/207–10), #14 (Löwith 1935), #18 (Chiasmi International 4 [2002]:57). For #9–#12 the citing chapter is in raw, so verify the wiki citation against the chapter's own footnotes/bibliography even though the cited work is absent.
  • Primary-text § / page locators with no inline pagination in the OCR source (Husserl): #1, #3 — verify the § attribution against the Carr text in raw; pagination cannot be cross-checked (source carries no inline Carr pages).
  • Reception-dossier citations (Bergson Landes edition): #4, #5 — these (Tonquédec, Deleuze 1960) are bound into the raw edition's appended dossier; verify against that dossier, not against standalone Deleuze/Tonquédec volumes.
