Consolidation 2026-07-27 — C2/C3 adjudications (from wf_a0b34b6a-bc5)

Provenance. Clean single-workflow run (run 5, second run of 2026-07-27): all 27 seats (1 C2 reviewer+refuter pair + 5 full C3 juries) completed in wf_a0b34b6a-bc5 on 2026-07-27 with 0 dropped/errored agents; verdicts taken directly from the workflow's returned result (durable copy: the run journal, 27/27 result lines) — coverage 27/27 — jury complete. Seats per the environment register (2026-07-26): all subagents Opus 5 — adjudicators (claim-promotion-reviewer, claim-refuter) at high effort, citation-verifier at medium; Fable main-thread only. Every claim below carries a full panel; gate outcomes are derived from the recorded verdicts. Whether they have been applied to wiki/claims.md is recorded in the run digest (consolidation-2026-07-27.md) — the sole authority on apply state, since this file is regenerable from the committed verdicts JSON (consolidation-2026-07-27-run5-verdicts.json) plus the run's date and c2/c3 slug lists (preserved in order by the summary tables below) and the claims register as it stood at generation (its Evidence-bullet counts feed the verifier-coverage gate, so a post-apply register can lawfully shift coverage legs). Main-thread ratification + absence-claim re-verification per the digest apply-plan gate every application.

Gate outcomes (mechanical)

C2 (candidate → live). PROMOTE-LIVE requires reviewer 3-test PASS and refuter STANDS and ≥2 anchored bullets from ≥2 distinct sources. 1 of 1 refuters returned REFUTED → 0 C2 promotions. Every non-promoted candidate stays candidate; each refuter objection is appended to that entry's Counterpressure verbatim; reviewer summaries are recorded (some carry REQUEST-REVISION fixes worth applying while the entry is open).
C3 (live → supported). Promote only on verifier all-PASS + 5-test PASS + 3× STANDS. All 5 C3 juries are complete: 5 of 5 claims are BLOCKED (each fails at least one leg; per-claim legs below) → stay live, objections → Counterpressure; no claim cleared all three legs.
Net: the completed run promotes nothing. A real, decisive outcome for all 1 C2 candidates and all 5 C3 claims — every proposed promotion was blocked by at least one gate leg.

Absence claims to re-verify before applying

The workflow instructed each agent to list every source/section/quote-absence assertion it relied on; the maintainer re-greps these before trusting any objection that turns on an absence (reviewer absence-claims have a documented false-positive history). Collected per agent below; also repeated inline in each entry.

C2 triage — per claim

gm-bad-conscience-is-internalized-will-to-power

Net: STAYS CANDIDATE — blocked on: reviewer REQUEST-REVISION; refuter REFUTED (distinctAnchoredSources=2) → candidate→live blocked.

Reviewer (3-test gate) — REQUEST-REVISION

All three tests are met on their face (2 distinct anchored sources, every bullet raw-verified, counterpressure present), but the entry carries a propagated off-by-one locator (the pregnancy quote is GM II.19, not II.18), its one genuinely synthetic conjunct rests on unanchored juxtaposition of two different senses of 'soul', and both anchored sources are the same author -- fix the locator, record the two-souls objection, and add the available Chouraqui third-source anchor before promoting.

test1 — PASS: The thesis is stated directly and is opposable without straw-manning: it asserts (a) GM II.16-18 gives bad conscience a will-to-power genealogy (instinct of freedom = WtP, turned inward under state compulsion), (b) the 'soul' is the scar of that internalization, (c) therefore WtP has a third, SELF-FORMATIVE register beyond BGE 36-cosmological and 259-outward-biological, and (d) GM II.16-18 supplies the genealogy of BGE 19's 'society constructed of many souls'. Each conjunct has a nameable opponent. Caveat for the maintainer, not a test failure: the contestable content is unevenly distributed. Conjuncts (a) and (b) are close to restatement of Nietzsche's own explicit words -- raw l. 2874 reads 'precisely that instinct of freedom (in my language: the will to power)', so the equation is GM's, not the wiki's. The genuinely synthetic, genuinely contestable leg is (d), the BGE-19 genealogy link, which the entry itself marks as 'the wiki's synthesis, not GM's explicit claim'. A promotion of this entry to live is therefore effectively a promotion on the strength of leg (d); the register should be clear-eyed that (a)/(b) are source-summary content that a concept page already carries verbatim (wiki/concepts/bad-conscience.md Key Points bullet 2 and Connections bullet 1 already state 'is internalized will-to-power' as settled).
test2 — CONCERNS: All three Evidence bullets are properly anchored to extraction-note passages AND independently raw-verified; no bullet depends on a user-memory thesis (Rule 17 not implicated) and there is no fabrication risk. One locator defect and one anchoring-scope gap keep this from a clean PASS.

BULLET 1 -- nietzsche-1887-genealogy-of-morality II.16 (extraction-note Pass 2c, raw 2856). VERIFIED TWICE. Extraction note /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-nietzsche-1887-genealogy-of-morality.md l. 74 carries the quote verbatim with the same raw locator; raw l. 2856 of '/Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/raw/Beyond Good and Evil and On the Genealogy of Morality (Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche).md' carries 'All instincts that do not discharge themselves externally now turn inward--this is what I call the internalization of human beings: now for the first time human beings grow what later is called the "soul."' verbatim. Section label II.16 is correct (the '#### 16' heading sits at raw l. 2850).

BULLET 2 -- II.17-18, raw 2868, 2876. PARTLY VERIFIED; LOCATOR DEFECT. The first quote ('this instinct for freedom repressed, pushed back, imprisoned deep within and ultimately discharging and venting itself only on itself: this, and only this is bad conscience in its beginnings') is verbatim at raw l. 2868 and in the extraction note l. 75; section II.17 correct ('### 17' at raw l. 2862). The equation the Claim leans on ('which Nietzsche explicitly equates with the will to power') is verbatim at raw l. 2874 -- 'precisely that instinct of freedom (in my language: the will to power)' -- and that block is genuinely II.18. BUT the second quoted sentence in this bullet, 'It is a sickness, bad conscience... but a sickness as pregnancy is a sickness' (raw l. 2876), is labelled II.18 and is in fact GM II.19. Boundary evidence: the raw drops the '### 18' and '### 19' headings, so between '### 17' (l. 2862) and '#### 20' (l. 2886) there are exactly two prose blocks -- 2870-2874 (= II.18, ending 'only bad conscience, only the will to self-mistreatment provides the prerequisite for the value of the unegoistic.--') and 2876-2884 (= II.19, which opens the ancestor/tribe debt argument, standard GM II.19 content). Independent corroboration inside the wiki: /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/chouraqui-2014-ambiguity-and-absolute.md l. 257 quotes the same sentence as '(GM II 19, Chouraqui 740)', as does /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-chouraqui-2014-ambiguity-and-absolute-motifs.md l. 537. The mislabel originates upstream in the GM extraction note l. 76 ('(II.18, raw 2876)') and has propagated to this claim's Evidence bullet 2, this claim's Counterpressure ('GM II.18 also stresses the ambivalence'), and to /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/concepts/bad-conscience.md (blockquote after the summary, and Key Points bullet 3, and the Sources line). Note the OTHER II.18 attributions on bad-conscience.md ('genuine womb of all ideal events', 'value of the unegoistic') are correct -- this is a single-sentence off-by-one, not a blanket drift, so it must be fixed per-locator (cf. the Malraux/Derrida oracle discipline), not by a blanket shift.

BULLET 3 -- nietzsche-1886-beyond-good-and-evil 19. VERIFIED TWICE. Extraction note /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-nietzsche-1886-beyond-good-and-evil.md l. 74 carries the compound quote verbatim including the '...commanding and obeying, on the foundation... of a social structure of many "souls"' tail; source page nietzsche-1886-beyond-good-and-evil.md l. 112 carries the short form; raw ll. 324-330 confirm the '### 19' heading and both clauses verbatim. ANCHORING-SCOPE GAP: what is anchored is the QUOTE. The bullet's operative tail -- 'the multiplicity GM II.16-18 narrates the formation of' -- is not anchored by any passage in either source; it is juxtaposition. The entry handles this honestly by flagging it as the wiki's synthesis in Counterpressure, which is the correct treatment, but it means the claim's only genuinely synthetic conjunct rests on an unanchored interpretive bridge. Reading raw l. 330 sharpens the worry: BGE 19's 'many souls' are the body's sub-wills/'useful "sub-wills" or sub-souls' operating in EVERY act of willing -- a standing physiological pluralism -- whereas GM II.16's 'soul' is inwardness/depth that 'for the first time' grows under state compulsion. On their faces these are two different explananda, and nothing in either passage licenses treating the second as the genealogy of the first.

RECOMMENDED FIXES ON APPLY (cheap, non-interpretive): (1) in Evidence bullet 2, relabel 'II.17-18' to 'II.17-19' and move the pregnancy quote's locator to 'II.19 (raw 2876)'; (2) same correction in the Counterpressure sentence ('GM II.18 also stresses' -> 'GM II.19'); (3) propagate to wiki/concepts/bad-conscience.md (blockquote, Key Points bullet 3, Sources line) and note the upstream drift at .extraction-nietzsche-1887-genealogy-of-morality.md l. 76. No Rule 18 re-ingest is needed -- I performed the targeted raw check and the text is confirmed; only the section label moves.

test3 — PASS: Two substantive counterpressures are recorded and both are real: (i) the BGE-19 genealogy link is explicitly conceded as the wiki's synthesis rather than GM's claim, and (ii) reading GM II.16-18 flatly as 'will to power turned inward' risks flattening the sickness/pregnancy double-aspect Nietzsche insists on. A third limit (same-author sourcing) is recorded as the reason for holding at candidate. Test 3 is satisfied.

But the STRONGEST objection is not the one written down, and the maintainer should add it before or at promotion, because it is the objection that actually threatens leg (d). Call it the two-souls objection: BGE 19's 'society constructed of many souls' names the body's standing plurality of commanding/obeying sub-wills present in EVERY act of willing (raw l. 330: 'the useful "sub-wills" or sub-souls'; 'With all willing we are dealing simply with commanding and obeying, on the foundation... of a social structure of many "souls"'), i.e. a synchronic physiological thesis about willing as such. GM II.16's 'soul' is the diachronic product of blockage -- inner space, depth, 'the whole inner world... gained depth, breadth and height' -- that arises 'for the first time' when external discharge is obstructed. If those are two different senses of 'soul', then GM does not narrate the formation of BGE 19's multiplicity at all; the drive-society is presupposed by the internalization story (the instincts that turn inward are already plural), not produced by it. Under that reading the claim's payoff -- 'the plural inner society is the precipitate of the inward-turned instinct' -- inverts the dependency. This objection does not kill legs (a)-(c), which are Nietzsche's own, but it is directly fatal to the conjunct that makes the entry a wiki thesis rather than a source summary. Recording it would also make the medium confidence rating easier to defend at any future supported gate.

Refuter (rival-reading) — REFUTED. Paste into Counterpressure verbatim:

Rival reading (unresolved) — two rivals the entry's Counterpressure concedes around rather than defeats.

R1. Synchronic vs. diachronic: BGE §19's plural soul cannot receive GM II.16's internalization as its genealogy, because §19 asserts the plurality of all willing whatsoever. The Claim field's load-bearing sentence — "this supplies a genealogy for BGE §19's 'soul as a society constructed of many souls' … the plural inner society is the precipitate of the inward-turned instinct" — is contradicted by §19 read in its local context. Nietzsche's §19 (raw Beyond Good and Evil and On the Genealogy of Morality (Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche).md, lines 326 and 330) is an analysis of the act of willing as such: "first of all in every willing there is a plurality of sensations"; "insofar as in this case we are simultaneously the commanders and the obeyers"; and, decisively, "With all willing we are dealing simply with commanding and obeying, on the foundation … of a social structure of many 'souls'" (line 330, emphasis added). The many-souls structure is therefore constitutive of willing per se — it holds of the pre-state, un-internalized willer as much as of the domesticated one. GM II.17 exempts exactly that willer from bad conscience by name: of the "pack of blond beasts of prey," "They are not the ones in whom 'bad conscience' grew, so much is clear from the outset" (raw line 2868). If the state-founding master-race wills, and all willing rests on a society of many souls, then their souls are already plural before and without any internalization — and internalization cannot be the genesis of the plurality. What GM II.16 actually narrates is a change of dimension in an already-plural drive-economy: "The whole inner world, originally thin as if stretched between two membranes, spread out and opened up, gained depth, breadth and height to the same extent that the external discharging of human beings became obstructed" (raw line 2856). Depth acquired by an existing inner world ≠ origin of a many-souled structure. This is not an outside objection: the claim's own Wiki home records it as open, not settled — soul-as-subject-multiplicity Open Questions bullet 2 asks "is the synchronic 'society of souls' (§19) consistent with the diachronic 'soul as scar of internalization' (GM II.16) — one structure or two?" The claim answers that question affirmatively in its Claim field while the page it homes on still lists it unanswered, and the entry's Counterpressure only concedes the link is "the wiki's synthesis, not GM's explicit claim." Conceding synthesis-status does not defeat the rival, which says the synthesis is false, not merely unstated.

R2. Deflationary rival on the "third register": GM II.18 asserts identity of force with difference of material, not a new self-formative register of will to power. The Claim field ("making will to power self-formative, not only outward-discharging") and the Payoff field ("supplies a third, self-formative register" alongside §36-cosmological and §259-outward-biological) read a register-distinction into the very sentence that denies one. GM II.18, raw line 2874: "At bottom it is in fact the same active, state-building force at work on a grander scale in those violence-artists and organizers that here, internally, on a smaller, pettier scale, in a backward direction … precisely that instinct of freedom (in my language: the will to power): only the material on which the formative and violating nature of this force vents itself is precisely humanity itself … and not, as in that greater and more obvious phenomenon, the other human being." Nietzsche's explicit structure is: one force, two materials (other human beings / oneself), differing in scale and direction. The deflationary rival therefore reads GM II.16–18 as adding no new register of will to power at all — only a new object for the single outward-discharging, form-giving, artist-like force when its outward path is barred ("for the most part they had to seek out new and as it were subterranean gratifications," raw line 2856). Under that rival, the claim's whole interpretive payoff against claims#bge-will-to-power-hedged-vs-flat collapses: "self-formation" is outward discharge with a redirected target, not a distinct modality of will to power. The entry's Counterpressure does not raise this sentence; note also that the GM extraction note's Pass 2c evidence (lines 74–76) never quotes it, so the rival's own textual basis is currently absent from the anchor chain the claim cites — it survives only on wiki/concepts/bad-conscience.md Key Points bullet 2, where it is used for the claim rather than tested against it.

Both rivals are live, both are anchored in the primary text the claim cites, and R1 is already flagged as an open question on a Wiki home the claim lists. Until Counterpressure states and answers them — in particular, why a structure Nietzsche predicates of "all willing" should be dated to a historical compulsion, and why "the same active force … only the material" licenses a register distinction rather than an object distinction — medium confidence does not survive restatement and the promotion candidate → live should not proceed.

Absence claims to re-verify (grep before relying):

(c2rev) The raw file /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/raw/Beyond Good and Evil and On the Genealogy of Morality (Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche).md contains NO section heading for GM II.18 or GM II.19 between '### 17' (l. 2862) and '#### 20' (l. 2886) -- verified by grep '^#+ *1[6-9]' over the whole file, which returns only ll. 306/314/318/324 (BGE), 1218-1305 (BGE), 2660/2672 (GM I), 2850/2862 (GM II.16/17), 3130/3158/3170 (GM III). This absence is what forces the section attribution of raw l. 2876 to be inferred from block-counting rather than read off a heading; my conclusion that it is II.19 rests on that inference plus the independent Chouraqui citation.
(c2rev) wiki/claims.md contains NO other entry advancing the internalization / soul-genealogy / WtP-turned-inward thesis, so this is not a near-duplicate requiring merge per lint item 18 -- verified by grepping claims.md for 'internaliz|instinct of freedom|soul-as-subject-multiplicity', which returned only this entry, its Summary-table row, and an unrelated haptocentrism entry (the sibling gm-ascetic-priest-fuses-ressentiment-and-bad-conscience is a distinct thesis about the priest as operator).
(c2rev) This claim's Counterpressure section does NOT contain the two-souls objection (that BGE 19's drive-plurality is synchronic-physiological and presupposed by, not produced by, GM II.16's internalization) -- verified by reading the full entry body.
(c2rev) This claim does NOT currently cite chouraqui-2014-ambiguity-and-absolute in either its Sources: line or any Evidence bullet -- verified by reading the full entry body. A candidate third-source anchor exists and is unused: wiki/sources/.extraction-chouraqui-2014-ambiguity-and-absolute-motifs.md ll. 531-551 (motif 16, 'Sickness / health / sick animal / bad conscience / pregnancy', STRUCTURAL), esp. l. 537 (Ch 2, loc 740, the cardinal GM II.19 pregnancy formulation), l. 534 (Intro 318: 'sickness' defined as inner antagonism), l. 538 (Ch 2, 984-1110: sickness/health as modal categories), l. 542 (Transition 1282: 'the human is the locus of self-differentiation qua sickness in the world'). I did NOT verify that Chouraqui reads bad conscience specifically as will-to-power-turned-inward -- the maintainer should check Ch. 2 (loc 740, 984-1110) before adding it as a bullet.
(c2rev) The main Chouraqui extraction note /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-chouraqui-2014-ambiguity-and-absolute.md contains NO case-insensitive occurrence of 'bad conscience' -- the attestations live in the separate -motifs.md extraction note and on the source page. Anyone hunting the Chouraqui anchor should go to the motifs note, not the main note.
(c2rev) Among wiki concept pages, ONLY wiki/concepts/bad-conscience.md (Open Questions, final bullet) references claims#gm-bad-conscience-is-internalized-will-to-power, and it does so with correct '(candidate)' framing -- verified by a repo-wide grep of the slug. The two other Wiki homes, will-to-power and soul-as-subject-multiplicity, carry NO cite-back to the claim at all. If the entry is promoted, the cite-back sweep must (a) change bad-conscience.md's '(candidate)' to live-claim framing and (b) decide whether the two silent homes should be dropped from Wiki homes or given cite-backs -- the Phase-8 cite-back lesson is that Wiki homes is a subset of the true reference set, so grep the slug repo-wide rather than trusting the field.
(c2ref) The entry's Counterpressure / Limits field of claims#gm-bad-conscience-is-internalized-will-to-power contains neither of the two rival readings below: it raises only (a) the concession that the BGE §19 link is 'the wiki's synthesis, not GM's explicit claim', (b) the sickness-as-pregnancy ambivalence limit, (c) the single-author-two-texts limit. I read the full Counterpressure field; no engagement with the synchronic/diachronic mismatch or with GM II.18's 'same force, different material' sentence appears there.
(c2ref) The GM extraction note (/Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-nietzsche-1887-genealogy-of-morality.md) does not quote or gloss the GM II.18 sentence 'At bottom it is in fact the same active, state-building force ... only the material on which the formative and violating nature of this force vents itself is precisely humanity itself' — its Pass 2c GM II.17/II.18 quotations (lines 75–76) stop at 'bad conscience in its beginnings' and the pregnancy line. I grepped the note for 'same active', 'state-building', 'material on which' and found no hit; the sentence is present only in raw (line 2874) and, partially, on wiki/concepts/bad-conscience.md Key Points bullet 2.

Third, raw verification: /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/raw/humanism-and-terror-an-essay-on-the-communist-problem-maurice-merleau-ponty.md line 1539, which falls inside the ## Conclusion heading region (heading at line 1483, next heading at 1545) — so the cited location 'Conclusion' is confirmed against the raw text, not just against wiki artifacts. Wording in the claim entry matches the raw line and the extraction note word-for-word (checked by exact-phrase grep on the distinctive tail 'various machineries are actually men'). Cross-surface consistency: same quote reproduced at /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/concepts/contingency-of-the-future.md line 65 and paraphrased on the source page /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-1947-humanism-and-terror.md line 129.

- chain: Every component of this bullet checks out, including the two parts most likely to be sloppy (the section name and the weight assertion). (1) The named section exists verbatim: /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1947-humanism-and-terror.md line 259 opens the motif entry 'the unfinished / open / non-closed character of history and the human world' inside ## Recurring Motifs (tracked during Pass 2) (section starts line 165). (2) The quoted phrasing appears at line 260 of that entry with locator 'Ch. III' — matching the bullet's cited location exactly. (3) The HUB-weight assertion is attested at line 264: 'weight: HUB — the Conclusion's central claim, latent throughout.' (4) Raw verification: raw/humanism-and-terror-…-merleau-ponty.md line 983 contains the phrase, and 983 falls within the ### III. Trotsky's Rationalism region (heading line 839; next heading ## Part Two at 1013). So Ch. III is correct in the primary text, not merely repeated from the note. One downstream inconsistency worth the maintainer's awareness but NOT a defect in this claim: two other wiki artifacts mislocate the same sentence — /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/.audit/motifs-delta-2026-05-05.md line 33 attributes it to 'the Conclusion', and /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/.speculative/runs/2026-05-25-v1-2-pilot/drafts/motif.md line 40 attributes it to 'H&T Preface and Conclusion'. The claim entry has the correct locator; those two artifacts are the drifted ones.
- rec: Accept as-is. Separately (out of scope for this claim, no action required for promotion): the motifs-delta and speculate-draft Ch.-III/Conclusion/Preface mislocations of this same sentence are a locator-drift item for a future lint or locator sweep.

V — proletariat as the attempt to bring history to its end' — which is the bullet's wording essentially verbatim, sitting inside the same ## Recurring Motifs § 'the unfinished / open / non-closed character of history and the human world' entry (lines 259-264) that bullet 2 cites. The second sentence's wager framing is separately anchored in the same note at line 175, 'Ch. V — the proletarian future as wager, not destiny', and supported by the Pass 2c quote at line 151 ('Perhaps no proletariat will arise to play the historical role accorded to the proletariat…', Ch. V). Raw cross-check: I grepped raw/humanism-and-terror-…-merleau-ponty.md for proletariat-plus-terminus phrasing; lines 1311 and 1315 (proletariat as 'universal class'; 'if the proletarian philosophy of history is true it ought in the end to shape the events of history') fall inside ### V. The Yogi and the Proletarian (heading 1307, next heading ## Conclusion at 1483), confirming Ch. V as the right chapter for the proletariat-as-terminus material. Note the exact string 'bring history to its end' is the extraction note's compression, not an MP quotation — but the bullet does not present it as a quotation, so this is not a fabrication-pattern risk.
- rec: Accept. Optionally strengthen for the supported gate by appending the Ch. V Pass 2c quote at extraction-note line 151 as an explicit textual anchor, so the bullet carries a quotation and not only a compression.
UNCERTAIN — claims#h-and-t-political-articulation-of-mps-open-ontology Evidence bullet 4 — merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception, 'the open horizon as ontological structure of perception (Pass 2 in PhP extraction note)'
- chain: The cited artifact does not contain the cited vocabulary, though a near-neighbour anchor exists in it and the doctrine is amply verifiable in raw. Searches performed: (a) case-insensitive grep for 'horizon' in /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception.md — ZERO matches; (b) same grep in the source page /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception.md — ZERO matches; (c) corpus-wide count of 'horizon' across wiki/sources/ (425 occurrences in 84 files) — neither PhP file appears in the result set, corroborating (a) and (b) by a second method. So the parenthetical locator 'Pass 2 in PhP extraction note' points at a note where the term 'horizon' never occurs, and the bullet also gives no section/page locator of any kind. What IS in the cited note, and is clearly the intended referent: ## Recurring Motifs entry 'The unfinished / inexhaustible' at lines 332-336, with sub-locators 'Preface: "the world… is inexhaustible"', 'Part Two Ch III.C.iv: "Reality and incompleteness of the world: the world is open"', 'Part Three Ch I.q: "a world that is never… completely constituted"' — and, critically, 'weight: theme… Important but probably a theme, not a hub.' Also in ## Evidence (Pass 2c) at line 189 (mirrored on the source page line 151): the Preface p. lxxx-lxxxi passage 'I am open to the world… it is inexhaustible.' So the openness/unfinishedness register IS anchored in PhP artifacts — under the vocabulary of the unfinished/inexhaustible, at theme weight, not under 'open horizon' at ontological-structure weight. The doctrine itself is verifiable in raw: /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/raw/maurice-merleauponty-phenomenology-of-perception.md has 113 'horizon' occurrences, and line 2123 (printed folio region {190}-191, Part One, bodily space) states "the point-horizon structure is the foundation of space" — an exact, quotable anchor for the bullet's actual assertion. This is therefore not a fabrication (contrast the Faul JBSP pattern: real work, real doctrine, wrong pointer), but it fails the supported-gate standard 'anchor at the cited location'. Secondary defect, flagged for the maintainer since the run applies objections: the bullet's second clause is garbled and does not parse — 'the political-articulation of the structure does load-bearing work HT performs and PhP does not' — so even setting the locator aside, what this bullet asserts about the PhP/HT asymmetry cannot be evaluated as written.
- rec: Do not accept as written for supported; repoint before promotion. Concretely: replace the parenthetical with a real locator — either the in-artifact anchor (extraction note ## Recurring Motifs § 'The unfinished / inexhaustible', Part Two Ch III.C.iv 'the world is open'; note its stated weight is theme, which slightly deflates the bullet's 'ontological structure of perception' framing) or a Rule-18 raw anchor (raw/maurice-merleauponty-phenomenology-of-perception.md line 2123, point-horizon structure as foundation of space, folio ~{190}-191), or both. Also rewrite the garbled second clause. If the maintainer prefers not to touch the entry this run, the claim should stay at live, not promote.
UNCERTAIN — claims#h-and-t-political-articulation-of-mps-open-ontology Evidence bullet 5 — merleau-ponty-1968-visible-and-invisible, 'flesh, chiasm, wild Being as ontological articulation of openness; the late ontology's "unfinished"/"open" register reverberates with HT's "open or unfinished system" formula'
- chain: Bullet splits into two clauses of unequal standing, and it carries no locator at all — no chapter, working-note date, page, or extraction-note section. Clause 1 (flesh/chiasm/wild Being as ontological articulation of openness) is abundantly anchorable in /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1968-visible-and-invisible.md: line 203 (the visible as 'a sort of straits between exterior horizons and interior horizons ever gaping open', flesh of things); line 281, the May 1960 'Metaphysics—Infinity' working note (raw line 2569) reading 'Offenheit of the Umwelt and not Unendlichkeit' — the single most precise available anchor for MP's late openness-register, and one that also marks the Heidegger contrast; line 630, the Cartesian body as 'human non-closed, open inasmuch as governed by thought'; line 591 and line 723, the body ordered about a pivot 'which is openness to…'; line 325, vertical/wild Being. So clause 1 would PASS on any of those if the bullet named one. Clause 2 (the 'unfinished' register reverberating with HT's formula) is the weak leg: I grepped the V&I extraction note for 'unfinished' and the only hit is line 14, which is editorial framing of the manuscript's state ('the unfinished introductory section of a much larger projected work', MP died leaving 150 handwritten pages) — i.e. the book is unfinished, which is not MP articulating unfinishedness as an ontological register. The 'open' half of the pair is well attested (Offenheit, non-closed); the 'unfinished' half, as MP's own doctrinal vocabulary in V&I, I could not locate. Since the resonance with HT's 'open or unfinished system' is the bullet's actual evidential work for this claim, that gap matters. Not a fabrication — every named concept (flesh, chiasm, wild Being) is real and extensively extracted — but the bullet as written is an unlocated characterization whose distinctive term is unattested in the cited source.
- rec: Do not accept as written for supported; add a locator and narrow the second clause. Concretely: anchor to the May 1960 working note (extraction note line 281 / raw working-note line 2569, Offenheit not Unendlichkeit) and/or extraction-note line 203 (interior/exterior horizons 'ever gaping open'), and either drop '"unfinished"' from the register pair or restate the resonance as the wiki's own structural reading rather than as V&I's vocabulary. Absent that, the bullet supports the claim only at live strength.

Reviewer (5-test gate) — HOLD

Hold at live/medium: the two evidence bullets that make this a cross-source claim (PhP, V&I) fail anchor verification — the PhP extraction note contains no 'horizon' apparatus at all and the V&I bullet has no locator — and the entry's own Counterpressure substitutes a weaker two-register thesis for the grounding thesis the Claim and Title assert, while its self-declared supported precondition (an Adventures of the Dialectic reading) remains undischarged since 2026-05-05.

test1 — CONCERNS: The entry is opposable — but it puts TWO non-equivalent theses on the table, and the one an opponent would attack is not the one the entry ends up defending.

(a) The strong thesis, stated in Title and Claim: HT's 1947 'open or unfinished system' is the ORIGINAL articulation, and PhP/V&I openness is a re-articulation of it — 'the openness is originally a political category for MP before being re-articulated as an ontological one'; 'The political articulation is ground, not deviation.' The Title makes this sharper still: 'what becomes "open horizon" in PhP ... is originally a political category.'

(b) The weak thesis, stated in the entry's own Counterpressure bullet 1: 'The strongest defensible reading: HT and PhP work the same structural openness in two registers, with HT the political register and PhP the perceptual-ontological one; neither is the unique ground of the other.'

These are not compatible. (a) asserts a priority/grounding direction; (b) explicitly denies that either is the unique ground. And (a) is chronologically embarrassed on its face: PhP is 1945, HT is 1947, so 'what becomes open horizon in PhP' cannot post-date a 1947 political original. The entry knows this ('The chronology cuts both ways') and retreats — but the retreat lives in Counterpressure while the Claim and Title still assert the strong version. The Claim body even hedges internally with 'prior political articulation in HT,' which is false with respect to PhP.

For a live claim this is tolerable (the Status History honestly says the direction of articulation is left open). For a supported promotion it is not: supported claims may be cited on concept pages without provisional framing, and a reader cannot tell which of (a) or (b) they are licensed to cite. Recommended remedy before any future supported bid: restate the Claim as the two-register thesis the entry actually defends (HT gives the political-juridical register of a structural openness that PhP gives perceptually and V&I ontologically; the corrective target is depoliticization readings of late MP, not chronological priority), and revise the Title, which is currently the most overclaiming surface in the entry.

test2 — FAIL: Five bullets. The two that carry the claim's entire cross-source burden (PhP, V&I) do not verify as written.

BULLET 1 — merleau-ponty-1947-humanism-and-terror Conclusion, 'open or unfinished system' quote. VERIFIED VERBATIM against raw: /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/raw/humanism-and-terror-an-essay-on-the-communist-problem-maurice-merleau-ponty.md line 1539, and independently against the extraction note /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1947-humanism-and-terror.md line 159 (Key Passages, attributed Conclusion). Word-for-word match including the 'providing only that one remembers its various machineries are actually men' tail. Strongest bullet in the entry.

BULLET 2 — HT Ch. III, 'we are not spectators of a closed history; we are actors in an open history'. VERIFIED VERBATIM in raw at line 983; extraction-note motif attribution confirmed (.extraction-merleau-ponty-1947-humanism-and-terror.md line 260, under motif 'the unfinished / open / non-closed character of history and the human world', weight: HUB at line 264). The bullet's 'The motif is HUB-weight in HT' is accurate.

BULLET 3 — HT Ch. V, proletariat as the attempt to bring history to its end; wager-structure. VERIFIED as an anchored characterization: extraction note line 262 ('Ch. V — proletariat as the attempt to bring history to its end') and line 175 ('Ch. V — the proletarian future as wager, not destiny'). No quotation, but this is a permitted characterization-of-argumentative-function with a specific locator.

BULLET 4 — merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception, 'the open horizon as ontological structure of perception (Pass 2 in PhP extraction note)'. DOES NOT VERIFY. I grepped case-insensitively for 'horizon' in both /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception.md (0 occurrences) and /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception.md (0 occurrences). The cited artifact does not contain the cited apparatus at all. This is a Rule-18 case, NOT a fabrication: the substance is amply present in raw — /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/raw/maurice-merleauponty-phenomenology-of-perception.md has 113 occurrences of 'horizon', and raw line 1864 (printed p. 96, Landes) gives a directly usable anchor: 'the inner horizon of an object cannot become an object without the surrounding objects becoming an horizon, and so vision is a two-sided act... The horizon, then, is what assures the identity of the object throughout the exploration.' The extraction note is simply inadequate for the cross-source role this claim later assigned it. Recommend a targeted raw-source check (I did not perform a re-ingest) to replace the bullet's locator.

What the PhP extraction note DOES record about openness is, notably, weaker than the bullet implies: extraction-note lines 332-336 register a motif 'The unfinished / inexhaustible' (Preface 'the world... is inexhaustible'; Part Two Ch III.C.iv 'Reality and incompleteness of the world: the world is open'; Part Three Ch I.q 'a world that is never... completely constituted') and weight it theme — 'Important but probably a theme, not a hub.' So the wiki's own PhP artifact rates openness THEME-weight while rating HT's openness HUB-weight. That asymmetry cuts against the claim's implicit parity and is nowhere registered in the entry.

Bullet 4's second half is also unusable as evidence independent of the locator problem: 'the political-articulation of the structure does load-bearing work HT performs and PhP does not' is garbled and is an assertion of the claim's conclusion, not an anchor.

BULLET 5 — merleau-ponty-1968-visible-and-invisible, 'flesh, chiasm, wild Being as ontological articulation of openness; the late ontology's "unfinished" / "open" register reverberates with HT's "open or unfinished system" formula.' NO LOCATOR AT ALL — no chapter, no working-note date, no page. Pure characterization. Anchorable material does exist and should be cited: /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1968-visible-and-invisible.md line 281 (May 1960 'Metaphysics—Infinity' note: 'It is Verborgenheit by principle i.e. invisible of the visible, Offenheit of the Umwelt and not Unendlichkeit') and line 630 / raw hybrid line 2234 (Feb 1, 1960: 'The Cartesian idea of the human body as human non-closed, open inasmuch as governed by thought').

FALSE-FRIEND WARNING on bullet 5's 'unfinished' half — this is the run-4 lexeme lesson repeating. Everywhere I could check, 'unfinished' in the V&I material describes the MANUSCRIPT, not MP's ontological register: raw/visible_invisible_hybrid_inline_folios_v2.md line 1006 is an editor's footnote ('The repetition is evidence of the unfinished state of the manuscript'); the extraction note line 14 and the source page lines 33 and 103 likewise describe the unfinished state of the text. MP's late openness vocabulary is Offenheit / non-closed / 'ever gaping open', not 'unfinished'. So the verbal 'reverberation' with HT's formula holds only on the 'open' half; the 'unfinished' half is a false friend and should be struck from the bullet.

VERDICT RATIONALE: at the live bar this entry passed and still would (three HT bullets solid, characterizations anchored). At the supported bar the gate requires every evidence anchor to verify, and the two bullets that make this a cross-source claim rather than an HT-internal one either cite an apparatus absent from the cited artifact (4) or cite nothing (5). Without those two, the claim reduces to 'HT says the human world is an open system,' which is a source-page fact, not a synthetic thesis.

test3 — PASS: Three substantive Counterpressure bullets, and the first is genuinely damaging rather than decorative: 'The chronology cuts both ways' concedes that PhP 1945 precedes HT 1947 and that the grounding direction is contestable. Bullet 2 makes the right distinction between the structural open-ontology (survives 1955) and the specific political wager (retracted in AD 1955). Bullet 3 names the secondary-literature situation the claim is corrective against.

Test 3 asks only that a counterpressure be recorded, and by that standard this is one of the more honest entries in the register. Two observations that belong downstream rather than here: (i) bullet 1 does not merely limit the claim, it substitutes a different and weaker thesis for it — which is a Test 1 and Test 5 problem, not a Test 3 one; (ii) the entry does NOT record the register-asymmetry objection I develop under Test 5 (HUB vs theme weighting; juridical vs perceptual vs latency senses of 'open'), which is the strongest available objection and by the schema's own instruction ('write the strongest objection in Counterpressure') ought to be added there before any future supported bid.

test4 — CONCERNS: There is a real payoff in here, but three of the four stated payoff bullets are aggregation, and the fourth leans on a contested claim.

What genuinely survives: the corrective force. If accepted, the claim blocks the depoliticization reading of late MP — the reading on which the 1959-61 ontology is a turn away from the political philosophy of 1947-55. That IS something a reader cannot assemble from chiasm and wild-being alone, because neither page carries the political register. Reading the cite-backs, the payoff is doing visible work: /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/concepts/contingency-of-the-future.md poses the question in its Open Questions ('Does the contingency of the future as MP articulates it in 1947 differ structurally from the openness of the late ontology... or are they the same concept in different vocabularies?') and routes the answer to this claim. A claim that answers a concept page's standing open question is not mere aggregation.

What does not survive: payoff bullets 1 and 3 are 'connects HT to the late-ontology pages' and 'reads the late ontology pages as cross-linked to the political register' — that is precisely the 'these pages are related' the test excludes. Bullet 2 (recasting contingency-of-the-future as thesis-central rather than documentary) is stronger, but the concept page already asserts as much in its own Details/Stakes prose independent of the claim. Bullet 4 — 'Strengthens claims#science-secrete-stiftung-chiasm (contested, 2026-05-05)' — I verified that claim is still contested at confidence medium (Summary table row, Updated 2026-05-27... row reads 2026-05-17). A payoff that consists of strengthening a contested claim is not a payoff a supported promotion can bank; if anything the dependency runs the wrong way.

Net: the corrective-against-depoliticization payoff alone would clear Test 4 IF the cross-source anchoring existed to support it. It currently does not (Test 2), so the payoff is asserted rather than earned. CONCERNS.

test5 — CONCERNS: counter-position: THE HOMONYMY OBJECTION. The three 'opennesses' the claim identifies are three different concepts sharing one English adjective, and the entry never shows otherwise.

(i) HT 1947: openness is EPISTEMIC-JURIDICAL. The future is not yet decided, therefore no actor has privileged access to the historical verdict, therefore the right of the opposition equals the right of those in power and responsibility exceeds intention. Its work is to make legitimacy and guilt assessable under non-knowledge. The wiki's own extraction note weights this motif HUB — 'the single most load-bearing concept of the book' (.extraction-merleau-ponty-1947-humanism-and-terror.md line 177).

(ii) PhP 1945: openness is HORIZONAL-PERCEPTUAL. The object is given with an inner horizon and against an outer one; perception is inexhaustible because every determination suspends others. No juridical content whatever. And the wiki's own PhP extraction note weights the nearest motif ('The unfinished / inexhaustible') as theme — 'Important but probably a theme, not a hub' (lines 332-336).

(iii) V&I 1959-61: openness is Offenheit — the latency of the invisible, explicitly contrasted with Unendlichkeit in the May 1960 'Metaphysics—Infinity' note. This is a Heidegger-facing point about the non-positivity of Being. Neither juridical nor about an unfinished future.

On this reading the claim is a lexical bridge dressed as a structural one. The evidence base makes the objection worse rather than better: the only verbatim anchors in the entry are both HT (raw lines 1539, 983), i.e. the register whose distinctness is not in dispute; the two bullets that would have to establish structural identity across registers cite an apparatus absent from the artifact they name (PhP) and no locator at all (V&I). And the 'unfinished' lexeme that supplies the surface echo turns out, in the V&I material, to describe the manuscript's state, not MP's ontology. Strip the homonymy and what remains is: MP thought the future was open in 1947 and thought Being was latent in 1960 — true, and not a thesis.

The register-asymmetry sharpens it further. HUB-in-HT versus theme-in-PhP is the wiki's own verdict that these are not equally weighted commitments in the two texts. A claim asserting that one is the articulation of the other owes an explanation of why the 'same' structure is load-bearing in one text and marginal in the other. — RECOMMEND HOLD AT live, confidence unchanged at medium.

Re-reading the Claim with the homonymy objection visible: medium is about right for the entry AS A LIVE CLAIM — the HT half is verbatim-anchored, the corrective target (depoliticization readings) is real, and the wiki has a legitimate interpretive stake in it. But medium at supported means concept pages may cite it without provisional framing, and that is not defensible here for three converging reasons.

First, the entry does not survive restatement — it CAPITULATES to a weaker thesis inside its own Counterpressure. 'The strongest defensible reading: HT and PhP work the same structural openness in two registers... neither is the unique ground of the other' is the entry telling the reviewer, in its own voice, that the Claim as stated is not what it will defend. The 5-test gate asks whether the confidence survives with the objection visible; here the THESIS does not survive, which is a stronger failure than a confidence miscalibration.

Second, the entry names its own supported precondition and there is no record of it being discharged. Status History (2026-05-05): 'Promotion to supported would require sustained reading of Adventures of the Dialectic (1955) to determine which aspects of the 1947 political articulation MP retains in the late ontology vs. retracts.' Fourteen weeks later the Evidence section still contains no AD bullet, Updated: is still 2026-05-05, and no Status History line records the reading. AD is not the obstacle — it is fully ingested, and its extraction note carries directly usable material (/Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1955-adventures-of-the-dialectic.md line 173, Ch 3 p. 89: history as 'open to all that personal life can invent... the sphere of symbolism'; line 195, Epilogue p. 203: 'a field of experience wherein each element opens onto the others'). Promoting while the entry's own stated precondition sits undischarged, with the discharging artifact already on disk, would make the precondition decorative.

Third, the homonymy objection is not currently answerable from the register, because the two bullets that would answer it are the two that fail Test 2.

PATH TO A FUTURE SUPPORTED BID (all four, in order): (1) restate Claim and Title as the two-register thesis actually defended, dropping 'originally' and 'ground, not deviation'; (2) Rule-18 targeted raw check to give the PhP bullet a real anchor — raw/maurice-merleauponty-phenomenology-of-perception.md line 1864 (printed p. 96) is a clean candidate — and note the extraction note's theme-weighting as a limit rather than eliding it; (3) give the V&I bullet a locator (the Feb 1 1960 non-closed note and the May 1960 Offenheit-not-Unendlichkeit note), and strike the 'unfinished' half of the verbal echo as a false friend; (4) add an AD 1955 evidence bullet discharging the stated precondition, and add the homonymy/register-asymmetry objection to Counterpressure. With (1)-(4) done, supported at medium would be a reasonable bid at a later run. Without them, live at medium remains the correct resting place — and nothing about this review argues for demotion.

Refuter (evidence-chain) — REFUTED. Paste into Counterpressure verbatim:

Evidence-chain refutation of the live -> supported promotion (consolidation 2026-07-27, refuter panel, evidence-chain lens). Every anchored Evidence bullet lies on the H&T side of the structural parallel; the far side — the PhP and V&I terms without which the claim is not the claim — is unanchored, and one of its two bullets cites an anchor that does not exist.

Evidence bullet 4 cites a non-existent anchor. The bullet reads "merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception — the open horizon as ontological structure of perception (Pass 2 in PhP extraction note)". The string horizon (case-insensitive) occurs zero times in wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception.md — in Pass 2a, 2b, 2c, Recurring Motifs, Pass 3 or Silent Keys — and zero times in the PhP source page wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception.md. The nearest actual PhP artifact is a differently named and lower-weighted motif: extraction note lines 332–336, "The unfinished / inexhaustible" — Preface "the world… is inexhaustible"; Part Two Ch III.C.iv "Reality and incompleteness of the world: the world is open"; Part Three Ch I.q "a world that is never… 'completely constituted'" — expressly rated "weight: theme. … Important but probably a theme, not a hub" (line 336). So the Title's second term ("what becomes 'open horizon' in PhP") rests on no wiki artifact, and the artifact that does exist rates the PhP openness a theme against the HT motif's HUB weight (HT extraction note lines 167–177, 259–264) — an asymmetry the claim's "same structural openness in two registers" wording does not carry. The wiki's own wiki/concepts/horizon.md concurs that this is unpinned: confidence: speculative, Open Questions line 47 ("A full philological pass over MP's horizon references across PhP, Signs, VI … is overdue. Current attestations are scattered"), Sources line 57 ("merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception — Husserlian Horizont taken up in PhP's phenomenology of perception; locations to be pinned in a future pass").

Evidence bullet 5 supplies no location at all, and the passage nearest to it does different local work. The bullet ("merleau-ponty-1968-visible-and-invisible — flesh, chiasm, wild Being as ontological articulation of openness; the late ontology's 'unfinished' / 'open' register reverberates with HT's 'open or unfinished system' formula") names no chapter, no working-note date, no page, no quote — it asserts resonance, which is exactly what Test 2 exists to block. Worse, the only "unfinished" in the V&I artifacts is a false friend: .extraction-merleau-ponty-1968-visible-and-invisible.md line 14 and merleau-ponty-1968-visible-and-invisible.md line 103 use it of the manuscript's incompleteness (MP died leaving 150 handwritten pages; Lefort's editorial situation), not of an ontological open-system register. And the V&I passage that most directly thematizes openness — extraction note line 281, the May 1960 working note "Metaphysics—Infinity" (raw line 2569): "the invisible is not another visible ('possible' in the logical sense) a positive only absent. It is Verborgenheit by principle i.e. invisible of the visible, Offenheit of the Umwelt and not Unendlichkeit" — is, in its local context (Rule 18), a latency claim delimiting MP's Offenheit against Heideggerian infinity. That is not the openness of a contingent future that HT's Conclusion asserts. On the artifacts as they stand, the late-ontology "openness" and the 1947 political "openness" are two different structures sharing an English word.

The entry's own declared supported-precondition is undischarged although its evidence is now in the corpus. The Status History line of 2026-05-05 states: "Promotion to supported would require sustained reading of Adventures of the Dialectic (1955) to determine which aspects of the 1947 political articulation MP retains in the late ontology vs. retracts." Adventures of the Dialectic is ingested (wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-1955-adventures-of-the-dialectic.md + .extraction-merleau-ponty-1955-adventures-of-the-dialectic.md), yet AD appears in neither the Sources: field nor any Evidence bullet, and the AD paragraph in Counterpressure (the structural-open-ontology-survives-1955 / political-wager-retracted distinction) cites no AD chapter or passage. The one condition the entry itself set for this promotion has not been met, and the reading that would meet it is available and simply uncited.

Evidence bullet 3 is a motif-index entry plus an unanchored gloss. "Ch. V — proletariat as the attempt to bring history to its end" reproduces the HT extraction note's motif-index line (.extraction-merleau-ponty-1947-humanism-and-terror.md line 262) with no quote and no in-chapter location; the second sentence ("The wager-structure of openness as positive condition") is the claim's own characterization with no passage warranting it. Bullets 1 and 2 (HT Conclusion, extraction note line 159 / raw line 1539; HT Ch. III, extraction note line 260 / raw line 983, Ch. III local context verified) are the entry's only fully traceable anchors — both on the HT side alone.

The wiki home does not assert what the claim asserts. wiki/concepts/contingency-of-the-future.md Open Questions (line 167) still poses the identification as open: "Does the contingency of the future as MP articulates it in 1947 differ structurally from the openness of the late ontology's 'the visible and the invisible,' or are they the same concept in different vocabularies?" A supported status would license citation without provisional framing while the home page still records the question as unresolved.

Net: two anchored HT bullets, one motif-index bullet, one bullet whose cited anchor does not exist, and one bullet with no anchor at all. Test 2 ("each evidence bullet points to an extraction-note passage, source-page passage, traceably-anchored audit report, or verified raw-source location") fails on bullets 4 and 5 — precisely the bullets carrying the cross-register identity that is the claim's distinctive content. The promotion is blocked; the entry remains defensible at live.

Refuter (rival-reading) — REFUTED. Paste into Counterpressure verbatim:

Three rival readings the entry does not defeat; the register-parity rival is already conceded inside the entry itself.

The entry's own Counterpressure abandons the claim as worded. Counterpressure bullet 1 ends: "The strongest defensible reading: HT and PhP work the same structural openness in two registers, with HT the political register and PhP the perceptual-ontological one; neither is the unique ground of the other." That is the register-parity rival — and it contradicts the Claim field ("the openness is originally a political category for MP before being re-articulated as an ontological one"; "The political articulation is ground, not deviation") and the Title ("what becomes 'open horizon' in PhP … is originally a political category"). Restating the claim with its strongest objection visible (5-test test 5) yields the parity claim, not the priority claim on the page. supported would license the priority wording on concept pages without provisional framing, when the entry itself grants that the priority reading is not the defensible one. (Note the direction of dependence the entry cannot escape: PhP 1945 precedes HT 1947, and the PhP extraction note already carries the openness register in the 1945 Preface — "I am open to the world … it is inexhaustible", .extraction-merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception.md lines 42/189 — plus "Reality and incompleteness of the world: the world is open", line 334.)

Deflationary/false-friend rival: "open" does different local work in each of the three texts, and in HT it is a limitative epistemic thesis, not a proto-ontological one. Rule-18 targeted check of both anchor passages in their local context:

Ch. III (raw/humanism-and-terror-an-essay-on-the-communist-problem-maurice-merleau-ponty.md line 983): "we are not spectators of a closed history; we are actors in an open history" sits inside an argument whose conclusion is epistemic — "There might be an absolute truth which would divide the antagonists if ever there was an end to history and the world … as long as there are men, the future will be open and there will only be a probabilistic calculation and no absolute knowledge. Consequently 'the dictatorship of the truth' will always be the dictatorship of a group." Openness here = no end of history, therefore no absolute knowledge, therefore no privileged tribunal: a negative/limitative claim aimed at Hegelian closure and Trotsky's rationalism, whose ancestry is the 1930s French Hegel–Marx reception.

Conclusion (same file, line 1539): the anchor sentence "The human world is an open or unfinished system…" is the conclusion of an anti-skeptical intersubjectivity argument against "bad existentialism" — "the consciousness that we gain of the irrationalism and contingency in us cancels them as fatalities and opens us to the other person … the experience of the other person as an alter ego in the very course of discussion." It is not doing juridical work about legitimacy and guilt at that point, which is what the claim's Title parenthesis ("the contingency of the future as condition of legitimacy and guilt") asserts of it. Against this, PhP's openness is a positive structural thesis about inexhaustible perceptual givenness and V&I's flesh/chiasm about reversibility/écart. The rival — one adjective inherited from the Marxist-Hegelian idiom of unfinished history spanning three heterogeneous structures, rather than one structural commitment transposed across registers — is live and unaddressed: no Counterpressure bullet raises it, Evidence bullet 5 rests on the word "reverberates with" (resonance, not argued identity), and the wiki's own contingency-of-the-future page still files the identity as an open question ("Does the contingency of the future as MP articulates it in 1947 differ structurally from the openness of the late ontology … or are they the same concept in different vocabularies?", Open Questions, wiki/concepts/contingency-of-the-future.md line 167).

AD-mediated rival: the wiki's own artifacts route the political→ontological transition through Adventures of the Dialectic (1955), not through HT. .extraction-merleau-ponty-1955-adventures-of-the-dialectic.md line 294: "Adventures of the Dialectic is in that sense the political-philosophical moment of the transition from PhP to V&I" — the question it answers being "What must the philosophy of history become once one gives up the belief in a realized dialectic?", answered via institution, symbolism, and the interworld, which line 113 names "the ancestor of the ontological vocabulary of V&I (the 'element' of flesh)". The HT extraction note's own seed for this claim (Pass 3 Part D, C2, line 313) describes AD as the text "where the political ground is renounced." On that rival, HT's open history is the last formulation of a philosophy of history MP replaces, and the late ontology's openness descends from the replacement — making HT the discarded predecessor, not the ground. Counterpressure bullet 2 asserts the contrary (1955 retracts only the "specific political wager", not the framework) but cites no AD passage: AD appears neither in the entry's Sources: field nor in any Evidence bullet, even though the AD source page and extraction note both exist. The entry's own Status History states the condition: "Promotion to supported would require sustained reading of Adventures of the Dialectic (1955) to determine which aspects of the 1947 political articulation MP retains in the late ontology vs. retracts." That self-declared precondition is undischarged — Updated: is still 2026-05-05, unchanged since creation.

Additionally weakening the parity rival's rebuttal: Evidence bullet 4 cites "the open horizon as ontological structure of perception (Pass 2 in PhP extraction note)", but the token "horizon" does not occur anywhere in .extraction-merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception.md (0 hits, case-insensitive; the note carries the openness theme under other wording at lines 42/189/334). The PhP side of the parallel therefore has no located passage whose local argumentative work could be compared with HT's — which is precisely what would be needed to rule out rival 2.

Refuter (scope) — REFUTED. Paste into Counterpressure verbatim:

Scope objection (2026-07-27 consolidation refuter panel, scope lens) — the claim as worded is broader than any narrowing the entry states, and its four Wiki homes assert four different propositions.

The Claim field asserts what the Counterpressure withdraws. The Claim field states that the openness is "originally a political category for MP before being re-articulated as an ontological one" and that "The political articulation is ground, not deviation." Counterpressure bullet 1 then concedes: "The strongest defensible reading: HT and PhP work the same structural openness in two registers, with HT the political register and PhP the perceptual-ontological one; neither is the unique ground of the other." The claim is therefore defensible only under a co-registral narrowing that the Claim field does not merely omit but explicitly denies. At live the provisional-framing requirement contains this; at supported the strong wording ("originally", "ground, not deviation") becomes citable unqualified. The narrowing must be written into the Claim, not left as a correction in Counterpressure, before the wording can carry supported.

"Originally" equivocates between temporal and conceptual priority, and the entry's own evidence defeats the temporal reading. H&T is 1947; PhP's open horizons are 1945. Evidence bullet 4 concedes this in as many words ("the political articulation of openness in HT (1947) post-dates PhP (1945)") and then substitutes an unargued and grammatically broken clause ("the political-articulation of the structure does load-bearing work HT performs and PhP does not") which establishes only that H&T does political work — not that the category is originally political. Evidence bullets 1–3 (H&T Conclusion, Ch. III, Ch. V) establish only that open/unfinished history is a HUB-weight motif within H&T (confirmed at .extraction-merleau-ponty-1947-humanism-and-terror.md lines 259–264). No bullet supports conceptual priority over PhP.

The Wiki homes do not assert what the claim asserts — they assert four incompatible strengths. (a) wiki/concepts/chiasm.md line 283 propagates the strong version verbatim ("originally a political category for MP"). (b) wiki/concepts/wild-being.md line 266 asserts a different claim: "The political register is not a downstream application of the late ontology but a 1946–49 anticipation of it", and grounds it on content the entry's Evidence never cites (historical responsibility, impurity of action). (c) wiki/concepts/contingency-of-the-future.md line 167 states the weak version — "the wiki's articulation that the political-juridical and ontological registers are continuous". (d) wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-1947-humanism-and-terror.md line 264 states a chronologically reversed version — H&T articulates "what later becomes the late ontology's open horizon", which contradicts the entry's own Evidence bullet 4 on PhP 1945. Promotion to supported would stabilize a proposition that has no single form across its own homes.

"Openness" does the work of three non-equivalent concepts, and no Counterpressure bullet guards the equivocation. Read in local context (raw/humanism-and-terror-an-essay-on-the-communist-problem-maurice-merleau-ponty.md line 1539), the anchor sentence's subject is "the human world" and its local job is anti-skeptical: it closes a polemic against "bad existentialism" by appealing to "the experience of the other person as an alter ego in the very course of discussion", with a normative proviso ("providing only that one remembers its various machineries are actually men"). That is an intersubjective-dialogical characterization, not a juridical one; H&T's juridical material (responsibility, guilt, the trial) sits in Chs. II–III, not in this sentence. PhP's "open horizon" is horizonal indeterminacy of perceptual givenness; V&I's flesh/wild Being is the non-objectifiable excess of Being. The claim's "same structural openness" merges three senses, and evidence bullet 5 supplies only the hedge "reverberates with" — a resonance word cited as if it established structural identity.

The entry's own stated precondition for supported is undischarged. Status History (2026-05-05): "Promotion to supported would require sustained reading of Adventures of the Dialectic (1955) to determine which aspects of the 1947 political articulation MP retains in the late ontology vs. retracts." Updated: is still 2026-05-05, there is no later Status History line, and no AD evidence bullet exists — although AD is in corpus (wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-1955-adventures-of-the-dialectic.md and its extraction note). Counterpressure bullet 2 makes the same structural/wager distinction load-bearing without anchoring it in AD. The claim itself set the narrowing condition; nothing in the entry records it as met.

Blocked at live. Minimum for re-presentation: the Claim field restated at the co-registral strength its own Counterpressure identifies as defensible (or a positive argument for conceptual priority that survives PhP 1945), passage locators on the PhP and V&I bullets, an AD-anchored bullet discharging the Status History precondition, and the four cite-backs (chiasm, wild-being, contingency-of-the-future, H&T source page) reconciled to one proposition.

Absence claims to re-verify (grep before relying):

(c3ver) The token 'horizon' does not occur anywhere in wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception.md. Verified two ways: (1) direct case-insensitive grep of that file returned zero matches; (2) a corpus-wide case-insensitive count of 'horizon' across wiki/sources/ (425 occurrences across 84 files) does not list that file. Bears on bullet 4.
(c3ver) The token 'horizon' does not occur anywhere in the PhP source page wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception.md. Same two verification methods as above (direct grep zero matches; absent from the 84-file corpus-wide count). Bears on bullet 4. NOTE the counterweight I did find: raw/maurice-merleauponty-phenomenology-of-perception.md contains 113 'horizon' occurrences, so this is a wiki-artifact vocabulary absence, NOT an absence in Merleau-Ponty — the doctrine is real and raw-verifiable at line 2123.
(c3ver) In wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1968-visible-and-invisible.md, the term 'unfinished' occurs only once (line 14) and there refers to the unfinished state of the V&I manuscript (editorial framing), not to an MP ontological register. I did not find MP's own 'unfinished' vocabulary in the V&I extraction note; the adjacent 'open' register IS attested (Offenheit at line 281, 'non-closed, open' at line 630). Bears on bullet 5's second clause. Scope limit: I searched the extraction note and greped the term across wiki/sources, not the full V&I raw text, so this absence is asserted for the cited wiki artifact only.
(c3ver) No exhaustive raw-text absence is asserted for bullets 1-3: each was positively located in raw/humanism-and-terror-an-essay-on-the-communist-problem-maurice-merleau-ponty.md (lines 1539 Conclusion, 983 Ch. III, 1311/1315 Ch. V) with chapter boundaries confirmed against the file's heading map.
(c3rev) The token 'horizon' (case-insensitive) does not occur anywhere in wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception.md (0 matches) or in wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception.md (0 matches). Both greps run directly; both files confirmed to exist. Therefore Evidence bullet 4's locator ('the open horizon as ontological structure of perception (Pass 2 in PhP extraction note)') cannot be verified in the artifact it names. Countervailing check performed: 'horizon' DOES occur 113 times in raw/maurice-merleauponty-phenomenology-of-perception.md, so this is extraction-note inadequacy under General Rule 18, not a fabricated citation.
(c3rev) 'unfinished' does not appear as Merleau-Ponty's own ontological vocabulary in any V&I artifact I could search: raw/visible_invisible_hybrid_inline_folios_v2.md has exactly one occurrence (line 1006) and it is an editor's footnote about the manuscript's unfinished state; wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1968-visible-and-invisible.md line 14 and wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-1968-visible-and-invisible.md lines 33 and 103 likewise use it of the manuscript. CAVEAT ON THIS ABSENCE CLAIM: the primary raw file 'raw/The Visible and the Invisible (Studies in Phenomenology and Existental Philosophy) (Maurice Merleau-Ponty).md' contains a NUL byte around offset 80119 and ripgrep refused to search it, so this is a checked-where-greppable finding, not an exhaustive one. A maintainer wanting to rely on the false-friend point should re-check that file with a NUL-tolerant reader before striking the lexeme.
(c3rev) The claim entry's Evidence section contains no bullet citing merleau-ponty-1955-adventures-of-the-dialectic; AD appears only in Counterpressure prose without a locator. Verified by reading the full entry body (claims#h-and-t-political-articulation-of-mps-open-ontology, Evidence and Counterpressure sections).
(c3rev) No evidence bullet has been added and no substantive revision recorded since creation: the entry's Updated: field still reads 2026-05-05 (identical to Created:), and its Status History contains only the 2026-05-05 creation line plus the 2026-07-11 lifecycle-backfill line — no C2/C3 triage line and no line recording discharge of the entry's self-declared supported precondition (a sustained Adventures of the Dialectic reading). Verified by reading the entry's Status History and cross-checking the Summary-table row (Updated 2026-05-05) and the index.md Claims row.
(c3rev) Evidence bullet 5 (merleau-ponty-1968-visible-and-invisible) contains no chapter, working-note date, or page locator of any kind. Verified by reading the Evidence section.
(c3rev) claims#science-secrete-stiftung-chiasm, invoked by Payoff bullet 4, is not live or supported — its Summary-table row reads status 'contested', confidence 'medium'. Verified directly in the wiki/claims.md Summary table.
(c3ref:evidence-chain) The string 'horizon' (case-insensitive) does not occur anywhere in wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception.md — verified by case-insensitive ripgrep with count mode (0 occurrences across all Pass 2a/2b/2c, Recurring Motifs and Pass 3 sections).
(c3ref:evidence-chain) The string 'horizon' (case-insensitive) does not occur anywhere in wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception.md (the PhP source page) — verified by case-insensitive ripgrep, no matches.
(c3ref:evidence-chain) Neither wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1968-visible-and-invisible.md nor wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-1968-visible-and-invisible.md contains any 'open/unfinished system' register attestation: greps for 'unfinish|open system|ouvert|open or' return only extraction-note line 14 and source-page line 103, both of which describe the incompleteness of the V&I manuscript (MP's death, Lefort's editorial situation), not an ontological 'unfinished' register.
(c3ref:evidence-chain) The claim entry claims#h-and-t-political-articulation-of-mps-open-ontology contains no Evidence bullet citing, and no Sources: field entry for, merleau-ponty-1955-adventures-of-the-dialectic — verified by reading the whole entry; the AD paragraph in Counterpressure cites no AD chapter, page or passage. (AD itself IS ingested: wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-1955-adventures-of-the-dialectic.md and .extraction-merleau-ponty-1955-adventures-of-the-dialectic.md both exist — so this is an uncited-available-source gap, not a missing-source claim.)
(c3ref:rival-reading) merleau-ponty-1955-adventures-of-the-dialectic appears in NEITHER the Sources: field NOR any of the five Evidence bullets of claims#h-and-t-political-articulation-of-mps-open-ontology (whole entry read). The AD source page AND extraction note both DO exist in wiki/sources/ (verified by glob) — the absence is inside the claim entry, not in the corpus.
(c3ref:rival-reading) No bullet in the Counterpressure / Limits field of claims#h-and-t-political-articulation-of-mps-open-ontology addresses the deflationary / shared-idiom rival (that 'open' names three different structures in HT, PhP and V&I). All three existing bullets read: bullet 1 = chronology, bullet 2 = the 1955 wager disavowal, bullet 3 = secondary-reception correctiveness.
(c3ref:rival-reading) The token 'horizon' does not occur anywhere in wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception.md (case-insensitive grep, 0 hits in a full note with Pass 2a/2b/2c sections), which Evidence bullet 4 cites for 'the open horizon as ontological structure of perception (Pass 2 in PhP extraction note)'. The note DOES attest adjacent material under different wording — 'the world is open' (line 334, Part Two Ch III.C.iv) and 'I am open to the world … it is inexhaustible' (lines 42/189, Preface p. lxxx–lxxxi) — so the missing item is the specific 'open horizon' locution, not the openness theme.
(c3ref:scope) The entry claims#h-and-t-political-articulation-of-mps-open-ontology contains NO evidence bullet citing merleau-ponty-1955-adventures-of-the-dialectic and NO Status History line dated after 2026-05-05 (verified by reading the entry in full; Updated: 2026-05-05). I do NOT claim the AD source is missing from the corpus — wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-1955-adventures-of-the-dialectic.md and its .extraction- note both exist; the absence is inside the claim entry.
(c3ref:scope) The entry's Counterpressure (all three bullets) contains NO bullet addressing whether "openness" is univocal across H&T's "open or unfinished system", PhP's open horizon, and V&I's flesh/chiasm/wild Being; the three bullets address only direction-of-grounding, the 1955 wager retraction, and secondary-reception depoliticization readings (verified by reading all three).
(c3ref:scope) Evidence bullets 4 (PhP) and 5 (V&I) carry NO passage locator — bullet 4 says only "Pass 2 in PhP extraction note" without a passage, bullet 5 names no note, page, or working-note date at all (verified by reading the Evidence field). I do not claim the PhP/V&I extraction notes or source pages are absent from the wiki.

PASS — Evidence bullet 1 — merleau-ponty-2010-child-psychology-pedagogy ch. 4 §V–VI, "the central rejection of bidirectional causation"; stated anchor: "extraction-note Pass 2a item 6 + Pass 2b 'no-causality-between-psy-and-soc'"
- chain: CITED WORK + LOCATION + CONTENT VERIFY at three independent levels. (a) Raw: /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/raw/datalab-output-Child psychology and pedagogy the Sorbonne lectures 1949-1952 (Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Talia Welsh).md — ch. 4 is 'Child Psycho-Sociology (1950-1951)' (line 2769); §V 'Reciprocal Connections Between Psychoanalysis and Sociology' (line 3247); §VI 'The Relationships Between Psychology and Sociology' (line 3281) with A Mauss (3283), B Culturalism (3309), C Levi-Strauss/Mead (3327), D Final Interpretation (3353). The rejection is verbatim at raw 3351 (§VI.C): the unconscious is 'not a second consciousness, but a nonthematized lived experience [vecu]' — the exact sentence the Claim field quotes — and at raw 3355 (§VI.D): 'We must not reduce it to a particular case of causal thought... Cultural transmission is made by a reciprocal identification from one generation to another, by a circular process.' (b) Extraction note /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-child-psychology-pedagogy.md — Arguments (Pass 2a) ch. 4 item 10 (line 107, ch. 4 §V–VI.A, 'reciprocal enlightenment, not reduction') and item 11 (line 109, ch. 4 §VI.B–D, 'circular reciprocal identification across generations, not causation'); Evidence (Pass 2c) ch. 4 (line 339) carries the p. 256 quote. (c) Chunk note /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-mp-child-psych-CHUNK-B.md line 45: 'The chapter's payoff is that causal explanation between psychology and sociology must be rejected in both directions'; lines 69–75 give §V, §VI.A ('Reciprocal envelopment, not rivalry'), §VI.B–C, §VI.D; line 341 is the originating Claim Candidate 3. DEFECT (bookkeeping, not fabrication): the bullet's two named pointers do not resolve. Pass 2a ch. 4 item 6 (canonical note line 99) is 'Decentration as relative, not absolute' (ch. 4 §IV) — the causation material is items 10–11. And there is no Pass 2b entry named 'no-causality-between-psy-and-soc' anywhere: grep for 'no-causality|psy-and-soc' across wiki/sources returns only the canonical note's Claim-Candidates line 613, CHUNK-B's Claim-Candidates line 341, and a dedup note in .extraction-merleau-ponty-1964-signs.md line 356. The Pass 2b (Conceptual Apparatus) entries that actually carry this doctrine are 'Reciprocal envelopment of psychology and sociology' (canonical note line 238) and 'Unconscious as nonthematized lived experience' (line 239). SEPARATE FINDING, Claim field not Evidence: the Claim field attributes the rejected first horn to 'classical Comte-style methodological individualism'. 'Comte' occurs exactly twice in the CPP raw — line 1829 (ch. 2 §VIII.C, where Comte and Mill are named as exponents of the sociological experimental method, i.e. positivist causal codification, the opposite of methodological individualism) and the index entry 'Comte, Auguste, 120'. It does not occur in ch. 4 at all; the text's actual first horn at ch. 4 (CHUNK-B lines 42–44) is 'Psychoanalysis / Moreno', with Levi-Strauss as the second horn (which the claim gets right).
- rec: Accept the bullet, but repair the anchor pointer before promotion: replace 'Pass 2a item 6 + Pass 2b "no-causality-between-psy-and-soc"' with 'extraction-note Arguments (Pass 2a) ch. 4 items 10–11 + Evidence (Pass 2c) ch. 4 §VI.C; originating candidate at .extraction-mp-child-psych-CHUNK-B.md line 341; raw 3351 / 3355'. Separately, strike or re-source the 'Comte-style methodological individualism' gloss in the Claim field — replace with the text's own first horn (psychoanalysis / Moreno's interpsychology), since Comte appears in this text only as a positivist-method foil in ch. 2.
PASS — Evidence bullet 2 — merleau-ponty-2010-child-psychology-pedagogy ch. 5 §VII, the culture-as-mediating-milieu / causalite de reseau formulation
- chain: Location verifies in raw: ch. 5 = 'The Child's Relations with Others (1950–1951)' (line 3373); §VII 'The Importance of Parental Relations' (line 4042), §VII.A 'Fundamental Character of Parental Relations' (line 4046). Content verifies verbatim at raw 4080 (culture as the mediation/milieu between psychic and social life) and raw 4086, which states MP must stop thinking in terms of causality and substitutes 'webbed causality [causalite de reseau]' for 'linear causality [causalite lineaire]'. Also anchored in the extraction note: Arguments (Pass 2a) ch. 5 item 14 (line 139, ch. 5 §VII.A) and Evidence (Pass 2c) ch. 5 (line 356); CHUNK-C line 205 registers 'Webbed causality / causalite de reseau' at raw 4084 with STRUCTURAL weight. Source page /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-2010-child-psychology-pedagogy.md carries it at Key Findings line 89 and in the Terminology table line 204. NOTE (does not affect this bullet): the sibling entry claims#culture-as-mediating-milieu-webbed-causality Evidence bullet corrected the causalite-de-reseau raw locator from 4084 to 4086 on 2026-07-27; the stale 4084 persists in the extraction-note copies (CHUNK-C line 205; canonical note line 619) and on the source page (lines 89, 204). This bullet cites only 'ch. 5 §VII' and carries no line number, so it is unaffected.
- rec: Accept as written. Optional strengthening: add the raw locator (raw 4086) alongside 'ch. 5 §VII.A' so the bullet is checkable without the extraction hop; if added, use 4086, not the stale 4084.
PASS — Evidence bullet 3 — merleau-ponty-2010-child-psychology-pedagogy ch. 6 §III.C.2, the Lewin diagnosis (culture as missing middle in social psychology)
- chain: Content verifies verbatim in raw at lines 4640–4652, inside ch. 6 'Human Sciences and Phenomenology (1950–1952)' (line 4214), §III 'The Convergence Between Contemporary Psychology and Phenomenology' (line 4482), §III.C (line 4544). Raw 4646 reposes the causal problem via motivation and denies that economic forces act directly on minds ('this would be a magical conception'); raw 4650 supplies the missing middle — a medium, a milieu of tools, instruments and institutions, through whose mediation the individual undergoes the force of economics; raw 4652 states Lewin's constructa achieve only 'an important first step'. Extraction-note anchor: Arguments (Pass 2a) ch. 6 item 9 (canonical note line 161, labelled ch. 6 §III.C.2), plus the Pass 2b entry 'Cultural mediation as missing middle' (line 250) and the sibling candidate's locator 'line 4650' (line 620). LOCATOR CAVEAT: the raw has no '§III.C.2' heading — under §III the raw headings are A (4486), B (4522), C (4544) only, and C runs unbroken to the end of the chapter. 'C.2' is an extractor-imposed subdivision (C.1 behaviorism/Gestalt, C.2 Lewin/Guillaume, C.3 Goldstein), consistently used across the extraction note but not verifiable against the printed sectioning. FRICTION worth the jury's attention: at raw 4646 MP says the causal problem 'cannot be entirely eliminated' but can be posed differently — which supports the entry's own first Counterpressure bullet (reciprocal envelopment as generalized rather than abolished causation) and mildly qualifies the bullet's phrase 'anchors the rejection-of-causation positively'.
- rec: Accept, with a locator hardening: cite 'ch. 6 §III.C (raw 4646–4652)' rather than the unverifiable '§III.C.2', or keep §III.C.2 with an explicit '(extraction-note subdivision)' marker. Recommend also folding raw 4646 ('the causal problem cannot be entirely eliminated... by introducing the notion of motivation') into Counterpressure bullet 1 — it is the strongest in-text version of that objection and currently goes uncited.
UNCERTAIN — Evidence bullet 4 — merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity (no location given): 'Stiftung presupposes that institution can be both psychic and social without one causing the other'
- chain: The source exists and is ingested (/Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md + .extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md), so this is not a fabrication risk. But the bullet names NO page, folio, section, or extraction-note anchor — verified by reading the full entry body — and its content is a structural gloss rather than a reported passage, so under Test 2 it is not currently a traceable anchor. Anchors that WOULD discharge it and that I did locate: (a) the course title itself, Institution in Personal and Public History (source page line 32; extraction note line 4); (b) Arguments (Pass 2a) item 2 (extraction note line 16) — only an 'instituted-instituting' subject can coexist with others, the instituted being 'a field, a hinge, that belongs neither exclusively to me nor exclusively to the other'; (c) the HUB motif 'hinge (charniere, gond, pivot)' (extraction note lines 212–219) with five located attestations, including the Institution Course Summary 'the instituted exists between others and myself, between me and myself, like a hinge' (line 215) and Passivity 127 'me-others hinge, which is common life, like me-my body hinge' (line 218); (d) the sharpest match for the no-causation half — motif 'unspoken ontology', Passivity [215 verso]-216 (extraction note line 261): the pre-objective world/Lebenswelt is 'without exogenous causality and with endogenous causality that is never pure activity of Sinngebung'. NOTE: the same locator-less-I&P-bullet defect was flagged by the 2026-07-27 C3 jury against the sibling entry claims#spontaneous-structuration-as-institution-precursor (wiki/.audit/consolidation-2026-07-27-adjudications.md line 1069), so this is a repeated pattern in this claim cluster, not a one-off.
- rec: Do not promote on this bullet as written. Repair by naming at least two of the located anchors above — recommended minimum: 'extraction-note Arguments (Pass 2a) item 2 + hinge motif, Institution Course Summary ("the instituted exists between others and myself, between me and myself, like a hinge") and Passivity [215 verso]-216 ("without exogenous causality and with endogenous causality that is never pure activity of Sinngebung")'. With that repair the bullet becomes PASS-grade; without it the entry's 1954–55 leg — i.e. the whole Stiftung-precondition half of the thesis — rests on an unlocated assertion, which is exactly what the entry's own second Counterpressure bullet ('the genealogical claim is structural, not textual') concedes.
PASS — Evidence bullet 5 — cross-claim reference to claims#spontaneous-structuration-as-institution-precursor (described as 'live, this run') as the positive version of the doctrine
- chain: Internal wiki cross-reference, not a citation to an external work (normally lint territory), verified anyway: the slug resolves — a single '## spontaneous-structuration-as-institution-precursor' H2 exists in wiki/claims.md, Status: live, Confidence: medium, Updated: 2026-07-27, Sources include both CPP and I&P. The status label 'live' is accurate as of this run: that entry went through the 2026-07-27 C3 supported jury and was HELD at live (reviewer HOLD recorded at wiki/.audit/consolidation-2026-07-27-adjudications.md lines 964–965), so it was not promoted and not demoted. TWO NOTES. (1) The parenthetical 'this run' is stale deixis from the 2026-05-05 creation run and reads misleadingly in a 2026-07-27 document. (2) Evidentiary weight: a pointer to another live (i.e. provisional, unpromoted) register entry is not independent evidence under Test 2 — and the sibling was itself just held for locator defects and for an unrebutted priority objection (SB 1942 / Beith 2018). The evidentiary load of this entry therefore rests entirely on bullets 1–3 (CPP, all verified) plus bullet 4 (I&P, unlocated).
- rec: Accept as a cross-reference but do not count it toward the anchored-evidence test; replace '(live, this run)' with '(live)' so the status label does not decay, and consider relabelling the bullet 'Cross-claim (not independent evidence)' to make its role explicit for the supported gate.

Reviewer (5-test gate) — HOLD

Hold at live (medium): the CPP-side thesis is strongly attested in raw (raw 164, 3351, 3355, 4650), but Evidence bullet 4 — the only second source and the sole carrier of the genealogical Stiftung-precondition half — has no locator at all, the Comte/methodological-individualism attribution is unsupported by the text, and the Counterpressure never engages the supported rival claims#pph-as-direct-predecessor-of-institution-1955 that dates institution's genesis to 1947–48.

test1 — CONCERNS: The claim is genuinely contestable and its logical shape is explicit: it names a negative thesis (MP rejects psy↔soc causation in both directions), asserts a structural-precondition relation to the 1954–55 Stiftung/institution ontology, and pre-empts the obvious dilution ('not a dogmatic anti-causality stance but a methodological opening'). One could oppose it without straw-manning on at least two fronts (causation is relocated rather than rejected; the precondition relation runs the wrong way genealogically). That is enough for Test 1 in principle.

Two formulation defects hold it below a clean PASS.

(a) MIS-ATTRIBUTED OPPONENT. The Claim field says 'psychology does not cause sociology (as classical Comte-style methodological individualism would have it).' Nothing in the source supports this. Comte occurs exactly twice in the CPP raw (raw/datalab-output-Child psychology and pedagogy the Sorbonne lectures 1949-1952 (Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Talia Welsh).md — body line 1829 and index line 7356). The body occurrence sits in ch. 2 §VIII 'Sociometry' (heading at raw line 1794), between markers {136} (line 1821) and {137} (line 1835), and reads: 'Sociometry opposes the sociological experimental method as in Auguste Comte and Stuart Mill, who tried to codify a scientific method for nature.' That casts Comte as the positivist codifier of experimental sociological method — if anything the sociological-holist pole, the opposite of methodological individualism. The opponent MP actually names for the psychology→sociology direction is Freud/the Freudians: 'Freudians argue that the psychological structure is the cause of civilization. Malinowski replaces a psychological causality with a sociological causality... We must construct a psychoanalysis and a sociology that are not conceived in terms of causality' (raw line 164). Substituting Freud→Malinowski for Comte→Lévi-Strauss would make the claim both accurate and better anchored; as worded, half the dilemma is pinned on a figure the text does not use that way.

(b) The genealogical half ('this rejection is what allows MP's late ontology of Stiftung') does not state what would count against it. The entry's Counterpressure bullet 2 concedes the reading is 'structural, not textual,' but the Claim field itself gives no defeasibility condition — no statement of what an I&P passage would have to show for the precondition relation to fail. For live this is tolerable; at supported a genealogical-direction assertion needs a stated falsifier, especially given the register-internal rivals (see Test 5).

The Lévi-Strauss half of the dilemma, by contrast, is well formed and textually earned: raw line 3339, 'The social becomes again an exterior reality to the individuals who live in it; this is what drives an objectivist conception of sociology... "the social is an autonomous reality"'; and raw 3343, 'If we introduce the notion of the social acting unconsciously, the social becomes a sort of "in-itself" independent of psychology.'

test2 — CONCERNS: Bullet-by-bullet. Citations into claims.md are by slug + bullet per the durability rule; raw/ and .extraction-* citations carry line numbers.

BULLET 1 — merleau-ponty-2010-child-psychology-pedagogy ch. 4 §V–VI, 'Anchor: extraction-note Pass 2a item 6 + Pass 2b "no-causality-between-psy-and-soc."' — SUBSTANCE VERIFIED, LABELS MIS-POINTING. Substance is strongly attested, in raw and in wiki artifacts: · raw line 164: 'Freudians argue that the psychological structure is the cause of civilization. Malinowski replaces a psychological causality with a sociological causality and takes the Oedipus complex as a product of civilization. But it is evident that the one thesis and the other are both inseparable and contradictory. We must construct a psychoanalysis and a sociology that are not conceived in terms of causality.' This is the bidirectional rejection, verbatim. · raw line 3355 (ch. 4 §VI.D 'Final Interpretation of Culturalism', item 1): 'We must not reduce it to a particular case of causal thought that attaches little causes to large effects. Parental care is the reflection and not the cause of the envisioned society. Cultural transmission is made by a reciprocal identification from one generation to another, by a circular process.' · raw line 3351: 'The unconscious is not a second consciousness, but a nonthematized lived experience [vécu]... The autonomy of the social resides in the notion of the lived experience [vécu], larger than that of the unconscious of Lévi-Strauss.' — the pivotal sentence the Claim field quotes. · raw line 3165: 'The social is at the interior of the individual and the individual is at the interior of the social' — reciprocal envelopment. · wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-2010-child-psychology-pedagogy.md Core Argument 13 (lines 89–91) carries the p. 241 quote and states 'Against: causal models linking psychology and sociology in either direction'. · wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-child-psychology-pedagogy.md line 440, motif table: '| Rejection of causal explanation between psychology and sociology | ch. 4 §V-VI; ch. 5 §VII; ch. 6 §III.C.2 | HUB |' — the exact locator triple the claim uses. The stated anchor labels, however, do not resolve. In that extraction note's Pass 2a Chapter 4 block, item 6 is 'Decentration as relative, not absolute' (line 99); the causation material is items 9, 10 and 11 (lines 105, 107, 109). And the Pass 2b list (lines 219–256) contains no concept named 'no-causality-between-psy-and-soc'; its nearest entries are 'Reciprocal envelopment of psychology and sociology' (line 238) and 'Unconscious as nonthematized lived experience' (line 239). The literal string appears only in wiki/sources/.extraction-mp-child-psych-CHUNK-B.md line 341, as 'Candidate 3 — no-causality-between-psychology-and-sociology-as-stiftung-precondition' — a claim candidate, not a Pass 2b concept. So the bullet points at real passages by chapter/section but its extraction-note pointers are wrong. Repairable in one edit (repoint to Pass 2a items 9–11 + the line-440 motif row + CHUNK-B line 341, or better, quote raw 164 and 3355 directly).

BULLET 2 — ch. 5 §VII, culture-as-mediating-milieu / causalité de réseau — VERIFIED. Extraction note line 139 and source page lines 89 and 204 both carry 'between the psychic and collective, or social, life there is a mediation, a milieu: culture' and 'causalité de réseau'. Real locator; the bullet doubles as a cross-reference to the sibling claim, but it stands on its own anchor.

BULLET 3 — ch. 6 §III.C.2, the Lewin diagnosis — VERIFIED, and stronger than the entry claims. raw 4640: 'it is no longer a question of causality or of knowing how the physical world acts upon the behavioral world'; raw 4650: 'We must determine a medium, a milieu (like that being explored by the American culturalists) of tools, of instruments, and of institutions that shape my manner of thinking... the individual undergoes the force of economics through the mediation of the cultural world.' Note that raw 4646 in the same passage cuts the other way — 'although the causal problem cannot be entirely eliminated, we can at least pose it differently by introducing the notion of motivation' — see Test 5.

BULLET 4 — merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity — NOT ANCHORED. This is the blocking defect. The bullet gives no page, folio, section, course-division, or extraction-note locator; it reads as a bare interpretive assertion ('Stiftung presupposes that institution can be both psychic and social without one causing the other; this is what the 1949–52 Sorbonne articulates structurally') attached to a source name. Test 2 requires each bullet to point to a passage; this one points to a thesis. It is load-bearing twice over: I&P is the entry's only second source (so without it the claim is single-source on CPP), and it carries the entire genealogical half of the thesis. This is the same defect that produced a 3x REFUTED C3 block on the sibling entry claims#spontaneous-structuration-as-institution-precursor earlier in this same 2026-07-27 run. Repair material exists and is cheap. wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md line 16 (Location line 18: 'Intro 5-6, and Institution Summary p. 108-109'): institution is 'a field, a hinge, that belongs neither exclusively to me nor exclusively to the other... It exists "between others and myself, between me and myself, like a hinge"' — which is close to the predicate the bullet asserts. And line 261 gives an explicit causality passage: '[215 verso]-216: "the perceived, i.e., pre-objective world, Lebenswelt, thus without exogenous causality and with endogenous causality that is never pure activity of Sinngebung"'. Neither is cited. Note the honest caution that would have to accompany them: the hinge/dimension predicate is not the psy↔soc-non-causation predicate, so the identification would still be the wiki's inference and should be marked as such (exactly the caution the sibling entry now carries after its 2026-07-27 repair).

BULLET 5 — cross-claim to claims#spontaneous-structuration-as-institution-precursor — NOT AN ANCHOR. It is a coordination note (positive vs. negative version of the same doctrine), which is legitimate content but supplies no passage. It should be reclassified out of Evidence, as this run's verifier already did for the mirror-image bullet in claims#culture-as-mediating-milieu-webbed-causality (whose Evidence now carries an explicit 'Cross-claim coordination note (not an anchor — reclassified 2026-07-27, verifier)' label pointing back at this very slug). Two further problems: the parenthetical '(live, this run)' is stale 2026-05-05 run-framing; and the claim it cross-references was blocked 3x REFUTED at C3 this run on grounds that overlap this entry's own weak point.

RULE-17 CHECK: no bullet rests on a user-memory thesis. wiki/.audit/synthetic-layer-2026-05-05.md lines 65 and 104 record the coordinate-entries verdict but cite no locators, so that report is nominative, not authorizing — it cannot repair bullet 4.

RULE-18 ADJACENCY (not a defect of this entry, flagged for the routed sweep): the supporting source page cites these quotes as 'p. 241' and 'p. 256'. Those are raw-marker-derived. I independently re-confirmed the CPP +16 marker-to-folio offset this run adjudicated: Comte sits under raw marker {136} (line 1829, between markers at 1821/1835) while the volume index reads 'Comte, Auguste, 120' (line 7356) — 136 − 120 = 16. So the source page's p. 241/p. 256 likely need −16 to reach printed folios. The claim entry itself cites only chapter/section, so it is unaffected; this belongs to the CPP marker-vs-folio sweep already routed to the next audit Citations phase.

NET: 3 of 5 bullets verify to real passages (bullet 1 with mis-pointing labels over verified substance), 1 is a non-anchor coordination note, and 1 — the one carrying the second source and the genealogical thesis — has no locator at all. Not a FAIL: nothing is fabricated, the CPP core is unusually well attested in raw, and every defect is repairable. But CONCERNS is firm, and bullet 4 alone blocks supported.

test3 — PASS: Three substantive counterpressures are recorded, and the first is the right one — 'Reciprocal envelopment is itself a kind of generalized causation... MP rejects linear / unidirectional causation but accepts something causal-like.' That objection is better supported than the entry realises: MP says it himself at raw line 4646, 'although the causal problem cannot be entirely eliminated, we can at least pose it differently by introducing the notion of motivation. Whereas causality is in the third person and concerns external relations, motivation springs out of action.' Adding that citation would convert a conceded skeptic's move into an author-attested limit.

Bullet 2 ('The genealogical claim is structural, not textual. MP doesn't say in CPP ch. 4 "this is what allows my future Stiftung doctrine"') is an honest statement of the retrospective-reading risk. Bullet 3 (Husserl's Crisis and Heidegger's Being and Time also reject inter-level causation; 'the claim should not over-attribute the move to MP alone') correctly identifies the non-uniqueness problem.

Test 3 passes on its own terms. Two gaps that matter only at the supported threshold, recorded here rather than as a downgrade: · The Counterpressure does not engage the register-internal rivals for the genealogical slot — claims#pph-as-direct-predecessor-of-institution-1955 (supported; locates institution's genesis in 1947–48 Inédits II PPH) and claims#mp-1942-already-prefigures-late-sedimentation (live; pushes Stiftung-relevant material to SB 1942). If institution was already forming in 1947–48, a 1950–51 lecture cannot be its precondition. See Test 5. · The Comte mis-attribution identified in Test 1 is not flagged anywhere in the entry. · Bullet 3's own remedy is undischarged: the entry's 2026-05-05 Status History names 'sustained engagement with Husserl's Crisis regional-ontologies material and with Heidegger's mode-of-being analysis' as the supported prerequisite. Crisis has been in the corpus since 2026-06-07; the engagement has not been performed, and the entry records no activity since 2026-05-05.

test4 — PASS: There is a real payoff, and it is not aggregation. Payoff bullets 1 and 2 do the work: reading the psy↔soc no-causation doctrine as the structural opening that institution-ontology requires reframes what looks, on wiki/concepts/culturalism-mp.md and wiki/concepts/institution.md alone, like a methodological housekeeping point about disciplinary boundaries. The specific move — 'if sociology caused psychology, social institutions would be the explanans of individual experience; if psychology caused sociology, individual experience would be foundational' — makes visible why MP needed reciprocal envelopment and the vécu-not-unconscious doctrine as a pair, and why he could not simply pick a side. A reader working from the concept pages would see the two doctrines listed; they would not see that they are jointly the exit from a dilemma, nor that the exit is what institution-ontology later stands on. That is a genuine 'could not see from concept pages alone' payoff.

It is also non-trivially convertible: it predicts that MP's institution-period texts should refuse to make institution either a psychic or a social explanans — a testable prediction, and one that the I&P 'hinge that belongs neither exclusively to me nor exclusively to the other' material (extraction note line 16) would confirm if the entry cited it.

Two weaknesses. (i) Payoff bullets 3 and 4 are pure cross-referencing — 'Cross-references positive and negative versions of the same doctrine' and 'Connects to claims#spontaneous-structuration-as-institution-precursor... at the structural level' — i.e. exactly the 'these pages are related' pattern Test 4 exists to exclude. Half the Payoff section is register-internal bookkeeping. (ii) Payoff bullet 1's strength is proportional to the genealogical direction holding, and that is precisely what bullet 4's missing anchor leaves uncited. The payoff survives on bullets 1–2; it would be sharper if 3–4 were trimmed to a single coordination line.

test5 — CONCERNS: counter-position: MP is not rejecting causation between psychology and sociology; he is RELOCATING it into a mediated form — and once that is seen, the doctrine is neither distinctively his nor a precondition of anything, and the genealogical direction the claim asserts runs backwards.

(1) The 'no-causality' framing overstates its own text, on evidence the claim itself cites. Evidence bullet 3's own passage says the opposite of abolition: 'although the causal problem cannot be entirely eliminated, we can at least pose it differently by introducing the notion of motivation' (raw line 4646), and the constructive demand that follows is for a causal pathway: 'We must determine a medium, a milieu... of tools, of instruments, and of institutions that shape my manner of thinking... the individual undergoes the force of economics through the mediation of the cultural world' (raw line 4650). MP's word at ch. 5 §VII is causalité de réseau — webbed causality, i.e. a species of causality, not its negation. So the operative doctrine is the POSITIVE one (culture as the mediating milieu), which the register already tracks separately at claims#culture-as-mediating-milieu-webbed-causality. On this reading, this entry's 'negative content' is not a second doctrine at all; it is the same doctrine stated as a slogan, and the slogan is looser than the thing it names.

(2) So construed, the position is mid-century commonplace, not a precondition. MP's own sources hold it: Mauss on 'services rendered' in both directions (raw 3293, 3299), Kardiner's 'constant interaction' with no aspect of care taken 'as the cause of the ultimate behavior of the individual' (raw 1637), Lewin's elimination of substantialist thought (raw 4652). The entry's own Counterpressure bullet 3 concedes the phenomenological generalization of the point (Husserl, Heidegger). A methodological stance MP shares with Mauss, Kardiner, Lewin, Husserl and Heidegger cannot bear the weight of 'the structural opening within which Stiftung can be articulated' without an argument that MP's version is doing something the others' is not — an argument the entry defers, by its own 2026-05-05 Status History, to a Crisis/Being-and-Time engagement that has never been performed.

(3) The genealogical arrow points the wrong way. The register itself carries the counter-position, unaddressed. claims#pph-as-direct-predecessor-of-institution-1955 is at supported and locates institution's genesis in the 1947–48 Inédits II PPH lectures as a renamed Marxist-register concept; claims#mp-1942-already-prefigures-late-sedimentation (live) pushes the Stiftung-relevant sedimentation framework to SB 1942 Ch IV n.50. If institution/Stiftung was already in formation by 1947–48 — a year or two BEFORE the 1950–51 psycho-sociology lectures — then the ch. 4 rejection cannot be its precondition. At best it is a contemporaneous application of a commitment MP already held: the same conclusion this run's rival-reading refuter reached against the sibling entry claims#spontaneous-structuration-as-institution-precursor, which was blocked 3x REFUTED on 2026-07-27 for the structurally identical defect (unanchored I&P bullet + unengaged 1942/1947–48 rivals).

(4) And the claim's I&P side is uncited, so nothing in the chain tests the arrow. Evidence bullet 4 asserts the precondition relation without a single 1954–55 passage. Bullet 5, the only other support for the genealogical half, is a cross-reference to the entry that was just blocked. — RECOMMEND HOLD AT live; KEEP CONFIDENCE AT medium (do not lower).

Re-reading the entry with the counter-position visible: the CPP-side half survives it intact and is, if anything, under-cited relative to how strong it is. MP's 'We must construct a psychoanalysis and a sociology that are not conceived in terms of causality' (raw 164) and his §VI.D(1) 'Parental care is the reflection and not the cause of the envisioned society... by a circular process' (raw 3355) are unambiguous, first-person, and directly on the claim's proposition. The claim's own hedge — 'not a dogmatic anti-causality stance but a methodological opening' — anticipates prong (1) and largely absorbs it; the Counterpressure's first bullet states it explicitly. medium is the right rating for that half and I would resist any move to low: the defect here is gate-shaped, not confidence-shaped.

What does not survive is the promotion, for three independent reasons, any one sufficient: · Test 2 bullet 4. The second source has no locator. The entry is effectively single-source on CPP for every element of the thesis, including the genealogical element that only I&P could attest. supported cannot rest on a bullet that points to a thesis rather than a passage. · Test 5 prong (3). The strongest counter-position is carried inside the register by a supported entry (claims#pph-as-direct-predecessor-of-institution-1955) and a live one (claims#mp-1942-already-prefigures-late-sedimentation), and this entry's Counterpressure names neither. A claim cannot survive restatement against a counter-position it has never seen. Promoting it would put two mutually competing genealogies of institution on institution with neither provisionally marked. · The entry's own declared prerequisite. Its 2026-05-05 Status History states that supported 'would require sustained engagement with Husserl's Crisis regional-ontologies material and with Heidegger's mode-of-being analysis... not performed this run.' Updated: is still 2026-05-05 and no later Status History line records that work. Crisis entered the corpus 2026-06-07, so the prerequisite is now performable — which makes its non-performance a live gap rather than a corpus limitation.

WOULD PROMOTE IF (concrete, ordered):

Anchor Evidence bullet 4 with an actual I&P locator — the candidates are wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md line 16 with its Location at line 18 (Intro 5–6: institution as 'a field, a hinge, that belongs neither exclusively to me nor exclusively to the other') and line 261 ([215 verso]–216: 'the perceived... without exogenous causality and with endogenous causality that is never pure activity of Sinngebung') — carrying an explicit caution that the hinge/endogenous-causality predicate is not identical to the psy↔soc-non-causation predicate and that the identification remains the wiki's inference.
Reclassify Evidence bullet 5 out of Evidence as a coordination note, mirroring the label this run's verifier applied to the reciprocal bullet in claims#culture-as-mediating-milieu-webbed-causality; drop the stale '(live, this run)'.
Repair bullet 1's extraction-note pointers (Pass 2a items 9–11, not item 6; the Pass 2b concept names are 'Reciprocal envelopment of psychology and sociology' and 'Unconscious as nonthematized lived experience'; the slug-like string lives at .extraction-mp-child-psych-CHUNK-B.md line 341) and, better, quote raw 164 and raw 3355 directly.
Fix or drop the Comte parenthetical; substitute the opponents MP actually names (Freudians for psychology→sociology, Malinowski/Lévi-Strauss for sociology→psychology).
Add a Counterpressure bullet engaging claims#pph-as-direct-predecessor-of-institution-1955 and claims#mp-1942-already-prefigures-late-sedimentation on the genealogical direction, and a bullet recording raw 4646 ('the causal problem cannot be entirely eliminated... motivation') as MP's own limit on the no-causality framing.
Discharge the recorded Crisis/Heidegger prerequisite, or restate the claim to a scope that does not need it.

No merge recommended under lint item 18. The pairing with claims#culture-as-mediating-milieu-webbed-causality is a deliberate positive/negative complement with distinct payoffs and low slug similarity; this run's c3rev reached the same conclusion, and wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1964-signs.md line 356 records a standing dedup note against both slugs. I do flag, short of merge, that the two entries now cite each other in Evidence while resting predominantly on the same single source — the reciprocal bullets add no cross-source support and risk making a one-source pair read as two-source.

Refuter (evidence-chain) — REFUTED. Paste into Counterpressure verbatim:

Evidence-chain refutation (consolidation 2026-07-27, refuter lens: evidence-chain). Three of the four substantive Evidence anchors fail passage-level verification in local context (General Rule 18); the supported gate's Test 2 is not met.

Evidence bullet 1's named anchors do not resolve. The bullet cites "extraction-note Pass 2a item 6 + Pass 2b 'no-causality-between-psy-and-soc.'" In wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-child-psychology-pedagogy.md, Pass 2a Chapter 4 item 6 (line 99) is "Decentration as relative, not absolute" — Piaget vs. gestalt on decentration, ch. 4 §IV, nothing to do with psychology↔sociology causation. The §V–VI content actually sits at items 10–11 (lines 107, 109). And no Pass 2b entry named "no-causality-between-psy-and-soc" exists anywhere in wiki/sources/ (grep for psy-and-soc|no-causality: only the Pass 3 Part D registration at line 613, the Signs dedup note, and CHUNK-B Candidate 3 at line 341). Pass 2b's nearest entries are "Reciprocal envelopment of psychology and sociology" (line 238) and "Unconscious as nonthematized lived experience" (line 239) — both anti-reduction headings, not anti-causation headings.

Evidence bullet 3 cites a passage that locally does the opposite work. The bullet says CPP ch. 6 §III.C.2 (Lewin) "anchors the rejection-of-causation positively." The raw text there says the reverse: MP presents the causality-eliminating route as the Lewin/constructa temptation and then rejects it — "In renouncing realistic or substantialist thought, one succeeds in eliminating the problem" … "However, the problem is not eliminated, but changes form" (raw datalab-output-Child psychology and pedagogy… lines 4640–4642), and explicitly: "although the causal problem cannot be entirely eliminated, we can at least pose it differently by introducing the notion of motivation" (line 4646). MP's positive doctrine is mediated causal action, not its absence: "the individual undergoes the force of economics through the mediation of the cultural world" (line 4650). The cited passage therefore anchors a re-posing of causality, not a rejection of it.

Evidence bullet 4 carries no location and no verifiable content. [[merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity]] is cited with no chapter/page/extraction anchor, only the assertion that "Stiftung presupposes that institution can be both psychic and social without one causing the other." Grep of .extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md for caus|psychic and social|psychology and sociology finds no such passage; the one causality-bearing line (261, [215 verso]-[216](6)) says the Lebenswelt is "without exogenous causality and with endogenous causality that is never pure activity of Sinngebung" — again causality retained under a distinction the claim's framing does not make. Since this is the only non-CPP source, the 1954–55 half of a genealogical claim (the "precondition for Stiftung" leg) is unanchored, and the entry is effectively single-source on CPP once Evidence bullets 2 and 5 are recognized as cross-claim pointers to [[claims#culture-as-mediating-milieu-webbed-causality]] and [[claims#spontaneous-structuration-as-institution-precursor]] rather than independent anchors (the reciprocal-citation loop with the former was already flagged in wiki/.audit/consolidation-2026-07-27-adjudications.md line 1240).

The one anchor that does verify (ch. 4 §V–VI) supports a weaker thesis than the Claim field states, and its local context contains counter-evidence the Counterpressure treats only hypothetically. Raw lines 3247–3366 show MP rejecting reduction, not causation: "these correlations have value provided that one does not attempt to reduce one term to another" (3255); "We argue for a reciprocal envelopment and not a rivalry" (3303); §VI.D(1) "We must not reduce it to a particular case of causal thought that attaches little causes to large effects" (3355). In the same sections MP affirmatively retains causal vocabulary: "the circuits of causality are extensive" (3317), "the grain must be the cause" (3273), and "the explanation is at once social and psychological" (3365). Counterpressure bullet 1 frames "reciprocal envelopment is itself a kind of generalized causation" as something a skeptic could argue; passage-level verification shows it is what the cited text itself says. A hypothetical-register counterpressure does not discharge a textual defeater.

The Claim field's specification of the two rejected directions is unattested. "Psychology does not cause sociology (as classical Comte-style methodological individualism would have it)" — Comte occurs once in the CPP body (raw line 1829, ch. 2 §VIII.C, index p. 120), where Comte and Mill are named as codifiers of an inductive natural-scientific method that exiles the observer, not as methodological individualists, and it is a different chapter from the cited §V–VI. The target MP actually rejects in that direction at §V is Freud's sociological psychoanalysis reducing social facts to "phenomena of a desexualized libido" (raw line 3249); in the §VI.A Mauss material the anti-individualist point is about substitution/reduction ("This substitution is only possible if the society is reduced to a phenomenon of individual consciousnesses," raw 3285), again not causation.

Provenance note bearing on the promotion. The source extraction note's own adjudication recommends this slug at candidate, not live (Pass 3 Part D, line 649: "Recommend: claims 1, 2, 3 as live candidates; 4, 5, 6, 7 as candidate"), and CHUNK-B Candidate 3 (line 341) marks it "Confidence: candidate" and states it "warrants extraction-note cross-check with Institution and Passivity and with Adventures of the Dialectic." That cross-check is what Evidence bullet 4 still lacks; the Status History's own stated bar for supported ("sustained engagement with Husserl's Crisis regional-ontologies material and with Heidegger's mode-of-being analysis") is likewise unperformed and unrecorded since 2026-05-05.

Promotion to supported is blocked: bullets 1, 3, and 4 must be re-anchored (correct Pass 2a/2b pointers; a §III.C.2 characterization consistent with "the causal problem cannot be entirely eliminated"; a located I&P passage), and the Claim field's "no causality in both directions" + Comte attribution must be squared with raw 3273/3317/3355/3365 and 4646/4650 before the confidence rating can survive restatement.

Refuter (rival-reading) — REFUTED. Paste into Counterpressure verbatim:

Rival reading (undefeated): the "precondition" is already in place in 1942, so the Sorbonne→Stiftung arrow is under-determined. The claim locates the enabling "structural opening" for the 1954–55 institution-ontology in CPP ch. 4 §V–VI (1950–51). But the wiki's own corpus attests the identical commitment seven-plus years earlier, in The Structure of Behavior: (i) .extraction-merleau-ponty-1942-structure-of-behavior.md item 52 (Ch IV §Truth of Naturalism, raw 1874–1890) — "There is no causal action of soul on body or body on soul," the apparent reciprocal action "reducible to an alternation or a substitution of dialectics," explicitly Against "both psycho-physical parallelism and any causal interactionism"; (ii) item 53 (raw 1932–1936) — the relativized-integration schema that already includes "the body as dialectic of social subject and his group," each degree "soul with respect to the preceding one, body with respect to the following one," i.e. a non-causal psychic/social relation stated in 1942; (iii) item 58 (Ch IV §Conclusion, raw 2026–2046) — "But beyond a causal thinking which can be all too easily challenged, there is a truth of sociologism," which is precisely the bidirectional refusal (neither sociologistic causation nor its dismissal) the claim credits to CPP ch. 4; plus the standing circular causality doctrine (Ch I §Stimulus, raw 422) and the three-orders thesis, whose Against is stated as "MP rejects linear causality as such." On this rival, CPP ch. 4 §V–VI is an application of a standing 1942 commitment to one human-sciences dispute (Comte-style individualism vs. Lévi-Strauss's structural objectivism), not the methodological opening that first "allows" Stiftung. The rival explains every cited passage as well as the claim does, and additionally explains why the CPP formulation is so compressed. The entry owes an answer to: if the no-causation opening was available from 1942, what makes the 1949–52 statement rather than the 1942 one the precondition, and why was Stiftung twelve years late? Counterpressure bullet 3 does not touch this — it raises only Husserl and Heidegger as rival holders of the anti-inter-level-causation position and answers on attribution scope ("do not over-attribute to MP alone"), never on earlier Merleau-Ponty, and never on the direction of the enabling relation.

Second rival (undefeated): MP's own stated enabling contrast for institution is constitution, not causation. .extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md orients the whole course this way (header, line 6: "The Institution course develops institution as the counter-concept to Husserlian constitution"), and Pass 2a arguments 1–2 (Institution course Introduction 2–12; Institution Summary pp. 108–109) make the philosophy of consciousness — Descartes–Kant–Sartre, "and also against Husserl insofar as Husserl hesitated to separate himself from a philosophy of consciousness" — the position institution is built to exit. The cross-register scope of institution that the claim's Evidence bullet 4 says presupposes non-causation ("institution can be both psychic and social without one causing the other") is grounded in the course on different ground entirely: time-as-model (Pass 2a #3, Intro 4) and the anti-nature/culture-bifurcation argument via Ruyer/Lorenz (Pass 2a #4, "Institution and Life" [13]–[22]). Nowhere in the 14 Pass-2a arguments does the psychology/sociology causation question appear as institution's enabling problem. Evidence bullet 4 carries no location at all and supplies the necessity premise by the claim's own paraphrase — exactly the move Counterpressure bullet 2 already concedes is unargued ("The reading depends on holding that Stiftung requires the no-causation structural opening"), and that concession is stated but never discharged.

Third strand, aggravating Counterpressure bullet 1. The one causal-vocabulary passage the I&P extraction note does record cuts against the "no-causality" framing rather than for it: Passivity Intro [215 verso]–216, at extraction-note line 261 — "the perceived, i.e., pre-objective world, Lebenswelt, thus without exogenous causality and with endogenous causality that is never pure activity of Sinngebung." The 1954–55 material therefore does not require the elimination of causality but its relocation (exogenous out, endogenous retained). That both confirms the skeptic of Counterpressure bullet 1 (MP replaces linear causation rather than rejecting causation) and suggests the operative distinction in the institution period is exogenous/endogenous, not psychology-causes-sociology/sociology-causes-psychology.

Taken together: two live rivals — earlier-MP chronology (SB 1942) dissolving the direction of the claimed enabling relation, and MP's own constitution/institution contrast supplying a different and textually stated precondition — plus a location-free Evidence bullet 4 that is the sole support for the necessity premise. The medium confidence does not survive restatement with these visible (5-test test 5). Hold at live until the entry either (a) shows what the Sorbonne formulation adds that SB 1942 items 52/53/58 do not already supply, and (b) anchors Evidence bullet 4 to a specific I&P locator that ties institution's psychic-and-social scope to the no-causation doctrine rather than to time-as-model or the Ruyer anti-bifurcation argument.

Refuter (scope) — REFUTED. Paste into Counterpressure verbatim:

C3 supported-jury refuter objection (scope lens, consolidation 2026-07-27): the claim's operative term is "causation," but every cited passage rejects something narrower — reduction, sole/unique cause, linear causality, disciplinary rivalry — while explicitly retaining causation; the narrowing that makes the claim true is stated only in the subjunctive inside Counterpressure bullet 1 and never adopted by the slug, Title, Claim, or the three Wiki homes.

(1) The passage cited in this entry's own Evidence bullet 2 contradicts the Claim's wording verbatim. The Claim asserts "MP rejects causal models linking psychology and sociology in both directions" and glosses it as "the rejection of inter-level causation." At the ch. 5 §VII site the entry cites, MP writes: "We can and should at the same time admit that psychological analysis implies a deference to historical and social facts and, reciprocally, that all social determination has a psychological sense. But we must stop thinking in terms of causality. Or again we must admit that we are dealing with a webbed causality [causalité de réseau] and not a linear causality" (raw datalab-output-Child psychology and pedagogy the Sorbonne lectures 1949-1952 (Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Talia Welsh).md line 4086). The "or again" glosses the first sentence by the second: linear causality is replaced, not abolished — and MP affirms determination running in both directions rather than denying it in both. Corroborating in the same section: "does not signify that they are the first or unique cause" (4066); "Truthfully, the two kinds of causality must not be separated" (4068); "It is because we reason in terms of causality that we are obliged to choose between psychology and sociology" (4074 — the target is the forced choice, not causal talk as such).

(2) Evidence bullet 3 cites as an anchor for "the rejection-of-causation" a passage whose own sentence refuses that rejection. The bullet reads ch. 6 §III.C.2 (the Lewin diagnosis) as anchoring "the rejection-of-causation positively." In local context (General Rule 18) MP writes: "We see that although the causal problem cannot be entirely eliminated, we can at least pose it differently by introducing the notion of motivation. Whereas causality is in the third person and concerns external relations, motivation springs out of action…" (raw line 4646), and then explains how "the economic infrastructure acquires and transmits its influence in individual phenomena" via the cultural milieu (4650). The operative replacement term in the passage is motivation — a word that appears nowhere in the entry. A hedged passage ("cannot be entirely eliminated") is cited as flat.

(3) The ch. 4 §V–VI "central rejection" rejects reduction and rivalry, not causation. At §V MP's formula is reductive, not causal: "we must take into account the psychological and social phenomena without always reducing one to the other" and "these correlations have value provided that one does not attempt to reduce one term to another" (raw 3251, 3255) — and in the same section he keeps the causal register explicitly: "The entire functioning of the oyster is necessary for a pearl to form, but the grain must be the cause" (3273). At §VI.A the reciprocal-envelopment formula the Claim leans on is stated against rivalry, i.e. a disciplinary turf question, not against causation: "Mauss recommends collaborative connections throughout purposefully uncertain frontiers between psychology and sociology… We argue for a reciprocal envelopment and not a rivalry" (3303). At §VI.D the one directional denial that does occur immediately substitutes another relation: "We must not reduce it to a particular case of causal thought that attaches little causes to large effects. Parental care is the reflection and not the cause of the envisioned society" (3355). None of these warrants the symmetric, flat "rejection of inter-level causation" the entry is titled and slugged on.

(4) The equivocation is load-bearing for the payoff, not decorative. The Claim's dilemma-structure ("If sociology caused psychology, social institutions would be the explanans… if psychology caused sociology, individual experience would be the foundational explanans") requires that MP deny both disjuncts. Raw 4086 shows MP affirming both in a webbed register. Once the wording is narrowed to what the text supports — MP rejects linear/unidirectional/reductive inter-level models — the "structural opening" argument for Stiftung must be rebuilt, because a webbed-causal MP still has social institutions conditioning individual experience. Counterpressure bullet 1 already names this ("A skeptic could argue MP isn't rejecting causation but replacing it… If so, the 'no-causality' framing is misleading"), but states it in the subjunctive as a possible rival; raw 4086/4646 make it MP's own text, and the entry nowhere adopts the narrowing. A claim true only under a narrowing the entry does not state is refuted as worded (5-test test 5 cannot have been survived against an objection the entry frames as hypothetical when it is textually settled).

(5) False-friend attribution in the Claim's specification of the first direction. The Claim glosses "psychology does not cause sociology" as the view held by "classical Comte-style methodological individualism." No Evidence bullet anchors this. In the source, "Comte" occurs once (ch. 2 §VIII.C, raw 1829): "Sociometry opposes the sociological experimental method as in Auguste Comte and Stuart Mill, who tried to codify a scientific method for nature" — the positivist observer-exclusion problem, a different topic in a different chapter; and the extraction note lists it as such ("the Comte-Mill methodology that exiles the observer", wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-child-psychology-pedagogy.md line 63, ch. 2 §VIII). The phrase "methodological individualism" occurs nowhere in the raw. The attribution is also doctrinally inverted: Comte is the paradigm sociological holist who refused to found sociology on psychology, so "Comte-style methodological individualism" names a position Comte rejected. The actual rival MP engages for that direction in ch. 4 §V is Freud ("sociological psychoanalysis invaded sociology without taking into account the specific state of the social", raw 3249). Both parentheticals were added at register-writing time: the extraction note's candidate 6 (extraction lines 613–616) contains neither the Comte nor the Lévi-Strauss attribution, and records no counterpressure at all.

(6) Wording reaches past the anchors into a second period that carries no locator. The Title asserts the ch. 4 rejection "is the methodological precondition that allows MP's late ontology of Stiftung to take shape," and the Wiki homes restate it flatly (institution line 376: "is the methodological precondition of MP's late ontology of Stiftung"; stiftung line 211: "it is what allows MP's late ontology of Stiftung (1954–55)"). The sole non-CPP Evidence bullet (merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity) supplies no passage, section, note number, or extraction anchor — it is a paraphrase of the thesis, not a location — and Counterpressure bullet 2 concedes "the genealogical claim is structural, not textual." So the half of the claim that the Title and both institution-side homes lead with is, by the entry's own admission, unanchored; supported would strip the "live claim, see" provisional framing from those three cite-backs. (Subsidiary: "late ontology" for the 1954–55 Institution/Passivity courses is periodization drift against the wiki's own use of "late" for the 1959–61 ontology; the entry itself dates the material 1954–55.)

(7) Near-duplicate coexistence papered over, in the direction that makes promotion incoherent. claims#culture-as-mediating-milieu-webbed-causality (live) shares this entry's single source, two of its three CPP anchors (ch. 5 §VII; ch. 6 §III.C.2) and two Wiki homes (institution, culturalism-mp); its Title asserts "webbed (not linear) causality" between psychic and social life. The two entries cross-cite each other as the "positive" and "negative" halves of one doctrine (this entry's Evidence bullet 2 and Payoff bullet 3; the sibling's Evidence bullet 4), so neither supplies independent support — the pair is single-sourced on [[merleau-ponty-2010-child-psychology-pedagogy]]. The sibling was blocked from supported on 2026-07-27 with a scope objection stating that if this entry's Counterpressure bullet 1 holds, "'webbed causality' and 'no causality between psych and soc' are one claim under two slugs." Promoting this twin to supported (citable unqualified) while the "webbed causality" twin stays live would install two register entries at different citation licenses whose headline terms contradict, and would license unqualified the culturalism-mp Connections sentence at line 66 — "the rejection of bidirectional causation is what allows culture-as-mediating-milieu to work" — whose two halves are exactly the equivocation.

(8) Corroborating anchor-pointer failure. Evidence bullet 1's stated anchor is "extraction-note Pass 2a item 6 + Pass 2b 'no-causality-between-psy-and-soc.'" Pass 2a ch. 4 item 6 is "Decentration as relative, not absolute" (extraction line 99), not causality material — the §V–VI items are 9, 10, 11 (extraction lines 105–109); and no Pass 2b bullet named "no-causality-between-psy-and-soc" exists in any extraction note (the note's label is the motif-table row "Rejection of causal explanation between psychology and sociology", extraction line 440).

Held at live as worded. Promotion would require the wording narrowed to what the lectures support — MP rejects linear/unidirectional/reductive models of the psychology–sociology relation and substitutes webbed causality (raw 4086) and motivation (raw 4646) — with the Comte/methodological-individualism attribution dropped or anchored, a located I&P passage for the Stiftung-precondition half, and the relation to claims#culture-as-mediating-milieu-webbed-causality adjudicated (one claim or two) before either twin is promoted.

Absence claims to re-verify (grep before relying):

(c3ver) No Pass 2b (Conceptual Apparatus) entry named 'no-causality-between-psy-and-soc' exists in the CPP extraction note or any of its four chunk files. Tried: Grep 'no-causality|psy-and-soc' (case-insensitive) over /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources — only three hits, all outside Pass 2b: .extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-child-psychology-pedagogy.md line 613 (Claim Candidates), .extraction-mp-child-psych-CHUNK-B.md line 341 (Claim Candidates), .extraction-merleau-ponty-1964-signs.md line 356 (dedup note). Also read the full Pass 2b section (canonical note lines 219–256) directly.
(c3ver) The CPP extraction note's Pass 2a chapter-4 item 6 is NOT the causation material: read directly at .extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-child-psychology-pedagogy.md line 99, it is 'Decentration as relative, not absolute' (ch. 4 §IV). The causation items are 10 and 11 (lines 107, 109).
(c3ver) Evidence bullet 4 of claims#no-causality-between-psych-and-soc-as-stiftung-precondition contains no page, folio, section, or extraction-note locator — verified by reading the entry body in full in wiki/claims.md.
(c3ver) 'Comte' does not appear in chapter 4 of the CPP raw. Tried: Grep 'Comte' over the CPP raw file — exactly 2 occurrences, line 1829 (ch. 2 §VIII.C, Comte and Mill as exponents of the sociological experimental method) and line 7356 (index entry 'Comte, Auguste, 120'). Chapter 4 spans raw lines 2769–3372.
(c3ver) The CPP raw has no '§III.C.2' heading in chapter 6. Tried: Grep '^#{1,5} ' over the whole raw file and read the full heading list — under ch. 6 §III (line 4482) the raw headings are only A (4486), B (4522), C (4544); §III.C is undivided in the printed sectioning. 'C.2' is an extraction-note-imposed subdivision. I assert the absence of the heading, not the absence of the content — the Lewin/cultural-mediation content is present at raw 4640–4652 and I cite it as verified.
(c3ver) The I&P extraction note contains no passage asserting in MP's own words that institution is 'both psychic and social without one causing the other'. Tried: Grep 'psychic|social|caus' (case-insensitive) and 'personal|private and public|social institution|hinge' over .extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md, plus a targeted grep over the I&P source page. The nearest attested formulations are the hinge motif (note lines 212–219) and the 'without exogenous causality' Passivity note (line 261) — I cite these as present, and assert only that the bullet's own proposition is an unlocated gloss rather than a quoted passage.
(c3rev) Evidence bullet 4 of claims#no-causality-between-psych-and-soc-as-stiftung-precondition contains no page, folio, section, course-division, or extraction-note locator for merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity. Verified by reading the full entry body; and by grepping wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md, which DOES carry usable locators (line 16 with Location at line 18, Intro 5-6; line 261, [215 verso]-216) that the bullet does not cite.
(c3rev) No concept in the Pass 2b list of wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-child-psychology-pedagogy.md is named 'no-causality-between-psy-and-soc' (the string cited as an anchor in Evidence bullet 1). Verified by reading the complete Pass 2b section, lines 219-256; nearest entries are 'Reciprocal envelopment of psychology and sociology' (line 238) and 'Unconscious as nonthematized lived experience' (line 239). The literal slug-like string occurs elsewhere in the corpus only at wiki/sources/.extraction-mp-child-psych-CHUNK-B.md line 341 (Candidate 3) — found by repo-wide grep for 'no-causality-between-psy'.
(c3rev) 'Pass 2a item 6' of the Chapter 4 block in wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-child-psychology-pedagogy.md is NOT the rejection-of-causation material; it is 'Decentration as relative, not absolute' (line 99). The causation material is items 9, 10 and 11 (lines 105, 107, 109). Verified by reading lines 87-110.
(c3rev) Auguste Comte is nowhere connected in the CPP source to methodological individualism, or to the thesis that psychology causes sociology. Verified by grepping 'Comte' across raw/datalab-output-Child psychology and pedagogy the Sorbonne lectures 1949-1952 (Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Talia Welsh).md: exactly two hits — body line 1829 (ch. 2 §VIII Sociometry, raw marker {136}, printed p. 120 per the index; Comte cast as codifier of the experimental sociological method alongside Stuart Mill) and index line 7356 ('Comte, Auguste, 120'). The opponents MP actually names for the two causal directions are the Freudians and Malinowski (raw line 164) and Levi-Strauss (raw lines 3339, 3343).
(c3rev) The entry records no substantive activity after 2026-05-05: Updated: is 2026-05-05 and the Status History contains only the 2026-05-05 creation line plus its 2026-07-11 lifecycle backfill. Therefore the supported prerequisite the entry itself declares (sustained engagement with Husserl's Crisis regional-ontologies material and Heidegger's mode-of-being analysis) is undischarged in the entry. Verified by reading the full Status History section.
(c3rev) Neither claims#pph-as-direct-predecessor-of-institution-1955 nor claims#mp-1942-already-prefigures-late-sedimentation is named anywhere in this entry's Claim, Evidence, Counterpressure, Payoff or Status History. Verified by reading the entry in full. (Scoped to this entry only — I did not check whether those entries reciprocally name this one.)
(c3ref:evidence-chain) No Pass 2b entry named 'no-causality-between-psy-and-soc' exists in wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-child-psychology-pedagogy.md, nor anywhere else in wiki/sources/. Verified by case-insensitive grep of wiki/sources/ for 'psy-and-soc|no-causality|no causality': the only three hits are Pass 3 Part D item 6 of that note (line 613, the candidate registration itself), the dedup note in .extraction-merleau-ponty-1964-signs.md line 356, and CHUNK-B Candidate 3 (line 341). Pass 2b (lines 221–256) contains 'Reciprocal envelopment of psychology and sociology' (line 238) and 'Unconscious as nonthematized lived experience' (line 239) but no 'no-causality' entry.
(c3ref:evidence-chain) No passage in wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md states or warrants that Stiftung 'presupposes that institution can be both psychic and social without one causing the other'. Verified by case-insensitive grep of that note for 'caus|psychic and social|psychology and sociology'; the only causality-bearing line is 261 ([215 verso]-216), which affirms 'endogenous causality that is never pure activity of Sinngebung' — causality retained, not rejected.
(c3ref:evidence-chain) 'Comte-style methodological individualism' is not attested at CPP ch. 4 §V–VI. Verified by grep for 'Comte' across the repo, the CPP raw file, and the CPP extraction note: the sole body-text occurrence in raw is line 1829 (ch. 2 §VIII.C, sociometry; index p. 120), where Comte and Mill are named as codifiers of an inductive natural-scientific method that exiles the observer — not as methodological individualists — and the extraction note's only Comte mention is Pass 2a ch. 2 item 9 (line 63) reporting that same passage.
(c3ref:rival-reading) The extraction note wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md contains no passage naming the psychology↔sociology inter-level-causation question as the enabling problem of institution/Stiftung. Verified by grepping that file for 'sociolog|psychology and|inter-level|causation|causal': the sole hit is line 261 (Passivity Intro [215 verso]–216), which is about the Lebenswelt and Sinngebung, not about the psychology/sociology relation — and it retains 'endogenous causality'. The 14 Pass-2a arguments (lines 10–78) name constitution / the philosophy of consciousness, Sartre, Panofsky-Cassirer, Platonism, Bergson, Freud's metapsychology and Lévi-Strauss's relativism as institution's targets, and never the psych–soc causation dispute.
(c3ref:rival-reading) The claim's Evidence bullet 4 (merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity) carries no location, section, page, or extraction-note anchor of any kind — verified by reading the entry's Evidence field in full. Every other bullet carries a chapter/section locator.
(c3ref:rival-reading) The entry's Counterpressure / Limits contains no bullet raising earlier Merleau-Ponty (The Structure of Behavior 1942 / Phenomenology of Perception 1945) as a site where the anti-inter-level-causation commitment is already in place. Counterpressure bullet 3 names only Husserl's Crisis and Heidegger's Being and Time, and answers them only on attribution scope ('should not over-attribute the move to MP alone').
(c3ref:scope) 'Comte' occurs in raw/datalab-output-Child psychology and pedagogy…(Welsh).md exactly twice — line 1829 (ch. 2 §VIII.C, 'Auguste Comte and Stuart Mill') and line 7356 (back-of-book index) — and the string 'methodological individualism' occurs nowhere in that raw file (case-insensitive grep of the file).
(c3ref:scope) No Pass 2b bullet named 'no-causality-between-psy-and-soc' exists in any extraction note: a repo-wide case-insensitive grep for 'no-causality-between-psy-and-soc' / 'no.causality' under wiki/ returns hits only in wiki/claims.md (this entry's own Evidence bullet 1 and derived surfaces), wiki/index.md, wiki/tags.md, wiki/log.md, wiki/concepts/, wiki/.audit/, wiki/.speculative/* — no hit inside any .extraction-*.md. The nearest Pass 2b bullets are 'Reciprocal envelopment of psychology and sociology' (extraction line 238), 'Unconscious as nonthematized lived experience' (line 239), 'Cultural mediation as missing middle' (line 250); the motif-table label is 'Rejection of causal explanation between psychology and sociology' (line 440).
(c3ref:scope) Extraction-note Pass 2a ch. 4 item 6 (extraction line 99) is 'Decentration as relative, not absolute' and contains no causality/psychology-sociology material; the ch. 4 §V–VI items are 9, 10 and 11 (lines 105–109).

PASS — Evidence bullet 1 — mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics, Pagan Ch 2 §3 (raw 893–933); Endstiftung/Urstiftung passage (I&P 58) + Reaction-against-Hegel passage (I&P 62); Pagan forward-link at raw 915 to V&I 94–95
- chain: Verified three ways. (1) Extraction note /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics.md line 34 records exactly this: 'institution as the dialectical articulation past↔present "without synthesis" ... seed of hyper-dialectique; traces shift via I&P 58, 59, 62, 79 forward to V&I 94–95. Location: §3 (raw 893–917)'. (2) Raw /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md line 895 carries the Endstiftung/Urstiftung sentence verbatim with fn 43 = Institution and Passivity, 58 (raw line 909); raw line 915 carries the Reaction-against-Hegel sentence verbatim with fn 45 = Ibid., 62 (raw 923), and the same line states the dialectic-without-synthesis 'will be deepened in The Visible and the Invisible and will be called ... hyper-dialectic', fn 47 = V&I 94–95 (raw 927). (3) Chapter attribution confirmed: §3 'History and Institution' opens raw 859 inside Matteo Pagan's chapter (author line raw 111/195; extraction line 11 = 'Chapter 2 — Pagan'). Cited range 893–933 is a superset of the extraction's 893–917 and stays within Pagan §3 (which runs to ~935), so no over-reach.

PASS — Evidence bullet 2 — mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics, Mendoza-Canales Ch 4 (lines 1718–1726, 1862–1876); hyper-dialectical philosophy of history / 'dialectic without synthesis'; Stiftung-Becoming vs Stiftung-Foundation
- chain: Extraction note line 260 (Chapter 4 — Mendoza-Canales, Argument 2) states the institution course inaugurates a hyper-dialectical philosophy of history characterized by dialectic without synthesis, with Location: §2, lines 1718–1726 — an exact locator match. Raw lines 1718 and 1726 confirm: 1718 names the central challenge as thinking 'this dialectic without synthesis' of personal/public history; 1726 speaks of 'this hyper-dialectical movement'. Extraction Argument 4 (line 264) covers lines 1862–1876 and is where the Stiftung-Becoming / Stiftung-Foundation contrast is invoked; raw 1862–1876 verified (event-as-fall vs institution-as-emergence/ontogenesis). LOCATOR CAVEAT (non-blocking): the Stiftung–Becoming vs Stiftung–Foundation coinage itself sits at raw line 1812 (verified: MP extends institution 'from the classical Stiftung–Foundation to a Stiftung–Becoming relation'), not inside either cited range; extraction Pass 2b line 276 also pins it to line 1812. The 1953–54-history-course-to-V&I connective is anchored separately by extraction Argument 1 (lines 1574–1596, the two course summaries read as one continuous inquiry) and Pass 2b contrastive note 'late-mp-renewal: traces seeds of écart, hyper-dialectics, and brute Being to the institution course' (extraction line 294).

PASS — Evidence bullet 3 — mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics, Larison Ch 11 §2 (lines 4518–4534); trans-temporality as condition of possibility of the theory/praxis inversion; 'the past that could have been otherwise' (line 4464)
- chain: Extraction note line 1255 (Chapter 11 — Larison, extraction line 1236) records: 'trans-temporality: Larison foregrounds and develops as the ontological ground that makes the theory/praxis inversion intelligible; tying explicitly to the question of "a past that could have been otherwise" | lines 4518–4534' — locator identical to the bullet. Raw verified directly: line 4464 contains the phrase 'a past that could have been otherwise' verbatim, in the passage arguing that Chauí's theory/praxis inversion requires such a past; raw 4518–4534 develop trans-temporality (time as the very model of institution, I&P 7 quoted at 4520 with fn 30 at 4528) and close the argument at 4534 by contrasting Husserlian teleological Stiftung with MP's non-teleological, trans-temporal reinstitution. Section attribution correct: '#### 2 Second Point of the Weft: History, Institution, and Temporality' begins raw 4472, so 4518–4534 is inside §2.

FAIL — Evidence bullet 4 — mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics, Halák Ch 5 §2.1 (lines 2025–2027); institution as form-generating logic of life; quoted phrase 'between vital, collective, and transindividual domains'
- chain: Two defects, one of them fabrication-class. (a) QUOTED PHRASE NOT IN THE SOURCE. Repo-wide grep for 'vital, collective, and transindividual' returns exactly three hits and none is a source text: wiki/claims.md (claims#institution-as-middle-term-1953-55 Evidence bullet 4 itself), and .extraction-mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics.md line 262 — which is Chapter 4 (MENDOZA-CANALES) Argument 3, and there it is the extraction note's own paraphrase ('institution operates across vital, collective, and transindividual domains'), not a quotation from any chapter. The bullet has re-attributed a Chapter-4 paraphrase to Halák's Chapter 5 and set it inside quotation marks with 'across' silently changed to 'between'. Independent confirmation that Halák cannot be the source: grep -o 'transindividual' across raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md returns hits only at lines 1610, 1658, 1716, 1726, 1780 (x2), 1794 (x3), 1796 — all inside Mendoza-Canales Ch 4; the term never occurs in Halák's chapter, and certainly not at 2025–2027. This is the Faul-class pattern (real work, quotation marks around text the work does not contain). (b) WRONG SECTION. Raw §2.1 is 'Merleau-Ponty's Integration of Husserl's Concept of Stiftung' (heading at raw 1981); the cited lines 2025–2027 fall under §2.2 'Living Beings as Institutions' (heading at raw 2021). WHAT DOES SURVIVE: the bullet's substantive characterization is properly anchored and should be preserved in corrected form — raw 2025–2027 verifiably argue that MP treats birth as an instituting event and applies institution to living beings as 'a logic in contingency and a continuum of anticipations and follow-ups'; and extraction note line 432 supplies a real Halák quotation for the form-generating claim (Halák §1, p. 107: institution is not a metaphor imported from culture into biology but designates a form-generating logic inherent to life itself, expressing proto-historicity and proto-culturality), with the concept entry at extraction line 403 pinning it to lines 1971, 2025–2027, 2107.
- rec: Rewrite the bullet before any supported promotion: delete the quoted phrase entirely (or replace it with the genuine Halák quote anchored at extraction line 432, cited as Halák §1, p. 107); correct the section to Ch 5 §2.2 (raw 2021–2027) or widen to §2 (raw 1979–2027); keep the 'form-generating logic of life itself' characterization, which is anchored. Do not promote to supported while the mis-attributed quotation stands.
PASS — Evidence bullet 5 — merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity — I&P 58, 62, 79 (dialectic-without-synthesis articulation) and I&P 76 ('In the concept of institution we are seeking a solution to the difficulties found in the philosophy of consciousness')
- chain: Quote verified verbatim in raw /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/raw/institution-and-passivity-course-notes-from-the-college-de-france-1954-1955.md line 1554, opening the section 'Institution in Personal and Public History' (heading raw 1552). Page locators independently corroborated rather than taken on trust: the raw file carries {N} PDF-page markers with a stable offset of +33/+34 against the English printed pagination — Endstiftung/Urstiftung passage at raw 1284 precedes marker {92} (92−34 = 58 = Pagan's fn 43 'I&P 58'); 'Reaction against Hegel. We react against the idea of real synthesis' at raw 1326 precedes {96} (96−34 = 62 = Pagan's fn 45 'I&P 62'); the philosophy-of-consciousness passage at raw 1554 precedes {109} (109−33 = 76 = the volume's 'I&P 76', which extraction line 1497 records as cited in three separate chapters); the metaphysics-of-history / mediation-of-being summary sentence at raw 1580 precedes {113} (113−34 = 79 = Pagan fns 42/46 'I&P 79'). All four cited pages therefore land on the passages the bullet describes. Minor characterization note: I&P 79 is strictly the 'revision of Hegelianism' / 'take into account the mediation of being' formulation rather than the dialectic-without-synthesis statement proper, but Pagan uses 79 inside exactly that argument (raw 895, 915) and extraction line 34 lists 79 in the same chain, so the grouping is warranted. Independent corroboration in the wiki: extraction lines 302 and 306 quote I&P 79 and I&P 8 respectively. Note for the maintainer: wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md Key Passages use the bracketed manuscript scheme N, not English printed pages, so the printed-page locators here trace to raw + the M-C volume's footnotes, not to that source page.

PASS — Evidence bullet 6 — merleau-ponty-1968-visible-and-invisible — V&I 94–95, the hyper-dialectique passage Pagan reads as inheriting I&P 58–62
- chain: Source-page Key Passages anchor both pages: /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-1968-visible-and-invisible.md line 153 quotes the canonical hyperdialectic statement at (Ch 2, p. 94) and line 155 quotes the 'dialectic without synthesis of which we speak' qualification at (Ch 2, p. 95) — i.e. the exact 94–95 span. The forward-link attribution to Pagan is independently verified at raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md line 915 with fn 47 = 'Merleau-Ponty, The Visible and the Invisible, 94–95' (raw 927). I did not attempt a raw-text check of the English V&I file because it is binary-flagged by ripgrep (NUL bytes); the source-page Key Passage is a sufficient anchor under rule 2, and the M-C footnote corroborates the locator.

PASS — Evidence bullet 7 — merleau-ponty-1955-adventures-of-the-dialectic — AdV 64 (cited via Pagan raw 861): the 'lacked density / meaning appear too soon' diagnostic
- chain: Double-verified. In raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md line 861 (Pagan §3 'History and Institution', heading at raw 859) the sentence appears verbatim including the bracketed ellipsis, with fn 31 = Ibid., 64 (raw 869) where 'Ibid.' chains to fn 30 = Merleau-Ponty, Adventures of the Dialectic — so 'AdV 64' is exactly what Pagan's apparatus says. Independently located in the primary raw at /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/raw/datalab-output-Adventures of the Dialectic (Maurice Merleau-Ponty).md line 849, where the full sentence appears without ellipsis ('...the resistance of economic and even natural conditions, and the swallowing-up of "personal relationships" in "things." History as they described it lacked density and allowed its meaning to appear too soon.'), immediately followed at line 851 by the 'conceptualize the sphere proper to history, the institution' sentence that Pagan cites as AdV 64–65 — which corroborates the page attribution by adjacency. The bullet's ellipsis faithfully marks the elided clause; no text is misquoted. Counterpressure bullet 2 of the entry already flags this quote as retrospective MP self-judgment, so the interpretive weight is appropriately hedged.

Reviewer (5-test gate) — HOLD

Tests 1, 3, 4 pass and the textual chain verifies against raw better than the entry advertises, but Test 2 shows a misattributed quotation in Evidence bullet 4 and Test 5 fails on the entry's own stated supported-condition (corroboration outside Mendoza-Canales 2026), which remains unmet — hold at live, apply the bullet-4 and locator fixes, and add the rival-tributary objection to Counterpressure.

test1 — PASS: Claim is stated contestably. It names a determinate three-period architecture (1940s Marxist 'logic within contingence' -> 1953-55 institution -> 1959-61 V&I ontology) and a determinate textual inheritance (I&P 58-62 dialectic-without-synthesis is the seed of V&I 94-95's hyperdialectique). Two named rivals can oppose it without straw-manning: the rupture reading (MP abandons politics for ontology in 1955) and the smooth-continuity reading (no real conceptual change); a third rival, the Husserlian-Stiftung-only genealogy, is live in the register at claims#institution-as-paradigm-shift-from-stiftung-to-instituting-subject. One formulation caveat, carried into Test 5 rather than downgrading Test 1: the definite article ('the philosophical middle term') asserts uniqueness, whereas the evidence establishes at most that institution is a load-bearing tributary. That uniqueness is what makes the claim sharply contestable, so it is a virtue at Test 1 and a liability at Test 5.
test2 — CONCERNS: No Rule 17 problem (no user-memory dependency anywhere in the chain) and no fabrication: every proposition asserted is attested somewhere in the cited volume or in raw primaries, and I verified the primary quotations myself rather than trusting the extraction note. But four locator/attribution defects of the same family the run-4 Malraux pass corrected.

PER-BULLET CHECK. Bullet 1 (claims#institution-as-middle-term-1953-55 Evidence bullet 1, Pagan Ch 2 §3, raw 893-933) — VERIFIED, strongest bullet. raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md:895 carries the Endstiftung/Urstiftung quote with fn43 = I&P 58; :913 carries 'union of exteriority and interiority, at each moment, while Hegel unifies them only by pushing them to the absolute' (fn44 = I&P 59); :915 carries 'Reaction against Hegel...' (fn45 = I&P 62) plus the explicit forward-link 'will be deepened in The Visible and the Invisible and will be called... hyper-dialectic' (fn47 = V&I 94-95). Independently confirmed in the primary: raw/institution-and-passivity-course-notes-from-the-college-de-france-1954-1955.md:1284 and :1288 (folio markers {92} etc., consistent raw-marker-minus-33 offset) and :1326 for I&P 62. One hygiene defect: the Claim section renders I&P 59 in italic quotation as '[institution] unites exteriority and interiority at each moment'; MP's sentence reads 'there is truly union of exteriority and interiority, at each moment', and its grammatical subject is 'this interiority with escape... this exteriority which does not forbid encroachment', not institution. Pagan reads it as institution's doing, so the gloss is defensible — but it is presented as quotation and should be de-quoted or bracketed as a gloss. Bullet 2 (Mendoza-Canales Ch 4, lines 1718-1726, 1862-1876) — PARTIALLY MIS-LOCATED. 'Dialectic without synthesis' verifies at raw :1718 and 'hyper-dialectical movement' at :1726. But the bullet's load-bearing proposition — that the course 'connects 1953-54 history course to V&I's late ontology' — is anchored at raw :1606 ('hyper-dialectics, ecart, or brute or wild Being... developed more systematically in the unfinished project of The Visible and the Invisible. Although these concepts were elaborated after the course on institution, their seeds can already be traced back to it'), which lies outside both cited ranges. And the 'Stiftung-Becoming (vs. Stiftung-Foundation)' distinction occurs in the volume only at raw :1812, also outside both ranges (the extraction note correctly records :1812; the claim entry does not). Add :1606 and :1812. Bullet 3 (Larison Ch 11 §2, lines 4518-4534) — VERIFIED. Trans-temporality at raw :4518-4520 (I&P 7 quoted); the Chaui theory/praxis inversion at :4460; 'a past that could have been otherwise' at :4464; and :4466 explicitly routes the answer through institution and temporality, which warrants the bullet's 'ontological condition of possibility' characterization. Bullet 4 (Halak Ch 5 §2.1, lines 2025-2027) — MISATTRIBUTED, the one real Rule 16 defect. The substance verifies (raw :2025 has birth as instituting event, life as 'a logic in contingency'). But the quoted phrase 'between vital, collective, and transindividual domains' is not Halak's: 'transindividual domain' occurs in the volume only at raw :1610 and :1716, both in Mendoza-Canales's Ch 4, and :1610 reads 'traverses the vital, collective, and transindividual domains of experience' — different author, different chapter, and a paraphrase presented in quotation marks. 'A form-generating logic inherent to life itself' is Halak's but sits at raw :1971, not :2025-2027. And the bullet's claim-bearing bridge — 'structurally continuous with the late ontology's wild Being / flesh of life' — is the wiki's own characterization: 'wild Being' occurs at :955 (Pagan) and :1606 (Mendoza-Canales), never in Halak's chapter, and 'flesh of life' occurs nowhere in the volume ('flesh of history' at :951 is Pagan's). So the extension of the middle-term architecture to organic ontology is asserted, not anchored, in the passage cited. Fix: split into a correctly-attributed M-C Ch 4 bullet at :1610 plus a Halak bullet at :1971/:2025, and either anchor or drop the wild-Being bridge. Bullet 5 (I&P 58, 62, 79; I&P 76) — VERIFIED against the primary, not merely via Pagan. I&P 76 at raw/institution-and-passivity...:1554 ('In the concept of institution we are seeking a solution to the difficulties found in the philosophy of consciousness'), immediately after folio marker {109}. Bullet 6 (V&I 94-95) — VERIFIED directly against raw/visible_invisible_hybrid_inline_folios_v2.md:898, which carries inline folios p. 92/p. 94/p. 95: 'the only good dialectic is the hyperdialectic' at p. 94 and 'the dialectic without synthesis of which we speak' verbatim at p. 95. Corroborated by Lefort's foreword at :462 citing pp. 92/94. This is stronger than the entry claims — 'dialectic without synthesis' is MP's own phrase at the V&I terminus, not only Pagan's gloss, and the entry should say so. Bullet 7 (AdV 64, via Pagan raw 861) — VERIFIED twice: at raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md:861 as cited, and independently in the primary at raw/datalab-output-Adventures of the Dialectic (Maurice Merleau-Ponty).md:849. The 'cited via' labelling is honest and could be upgraded to a direct primary anchor.

Net: the textual chain is sound and better verified than the entry advertises; the defects are attribution and locator precision, concentrated in bullet 4. CONCERNS, not FAIL — but bullet 4 should be corrected in this run regardless of the status outcome.

test3 — PASS: Three substantive counterpressures, and they are the right ones. (a) Single-edited-volume dependency, with the unusually candid concession that 'Pagan's reading of the I&P 58-62 -> V&I 94-95 forward-link is novel even within MP-secondary literature' — the strongest objection, stated by the entry against itself. (b) The AdV 64 'lacked density' diagnostic is retrospective MP self-judgment, so the middle-term function is a reconstruction MP never asserts of himself. (c) Overlap disclosure against claims#pph-as-direct-predecessor-of-institution-1955 and claims#ip-pop-architectural-hierarchy with a stated differentia. That disclosure also disposes of lint item 18 for me: the PPH claim covers the backward leg (1947-48 -> 1953-55), this one the forward leg (1953-55 -> 1959-61), with different Sources and only partial Wiki-homes overlap. Not a near-duplicate; no merge recommended. One gap, for the digest rather than the gate: no counterpressure records the rival-tributary objection (that the AdV Epilogue and the Passivity course's binary/ternary dialectic are competing 1955 ancestors of hyperdialectic) — see Test 5.
test4 — PASS: The payoff is real and is not aggregation. It delivers a period-architecture verdict that adjudicates two standing readings at once — blocking both the rupture reading and the smooth-continuity reading — and specifies a mechanism for why (hyperdialectique cannot operate without dialectic-without-synthesis already in place; 1947 H&T essentialism could not articulate contingency-into-necessity because Hegel-Marx teleology blocks it). It also chains two other register entries rather than merely listing them. Two narrowing notes, neither defeating the test. First, the seed-leg alone is already visible from concept pages: wiki/concepts/hyper-dialectic.md carries a 'The 1954-55 Origin: Ternary vs. Binary Dialectic' section already concluding 'V&I Ch 2 is the fulfillment of the program the 1954-55 course announced'. So the genuinely non-redundant contribution is narrower than the entry implies — it is the middle-term-relative-to-1940s-Marxism function, not the 1955->V&I inheritance as such. Second, payoff realization is incomplete on the wiki surface: wild-being is a declared Wiki home but wiki/concepts/wild-being.md contains no reference to the slug. Correct 'live claim, see' cite-backs do exist at wiki/concepts/institution.md, wiki/concepts/stiftung.md, wiki/concepts/hyper-dialectic.md and wiki/concepts/revolution-as-another-stiftung.md; the wild-being cite-back should be added on any status change.
test5 — CONCERNS: counter-position: The four-chapter 'convergence' in Mendoza-Canales 2026 is one editorial program, not four independent witnesses: the volume exists to argue institution's centrality, so cross-chapter agreement is close to entailed by the table of contents. Strip the editorial framing and what remains is a single novel reading by a single contributor — Pagan's I&P 58-62 -> V&I 94-95 forward-link, which the entry's own Counterpressure concedes is 'novel even within MP-secondary literature'. Against that single reading stands the terminus text itself: V&I 92-95 (verified at raw/visible_invisible_hybrid_inline_folios_v2.md:898) develops hyperdialectic entirely through a critique of Hegel and Sartre, with no reference to institution, to Stiftung, or to the 1954-55 course. And the wiki's own corpus attests at least two rival 1955 tributaries to the same terminus: the AdV Epilogue's definition of dialectic as 'a thought with several centers and several points of entry', flagged at wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1955-adventures-of-the-dialectic.md:152 as 'a substantial 1955 precursor of V&I's hyper-dialectic'; and the Passivity course's binary/ternary dialectic contrast, written up independently at wiki/concepts/hyper-dialectic.md section 'The 1954-55 Origin'. If institution is one tributary among several 1953-55 sources feeding V&I Ch 2, the genealogical arc survives but the definite article does not: the evidence licenses 'a load-bearing tributary', not 'the philosophical middle term'. A reader who accepts every verified passage in the Evidence section can still reject the claim as stated. — Recommend HOLD at live. Confidence medium does not survive restatement with the counter-position visible, for three compounding reasons.

(1) The entry's own supported-condition is unmet, by its own terms. Status History (2026-05-05) states: 'promotion to supported would require corroboration outside Mendoza-Canales 2026 (e.g., Larison's 2023 Vers une phenomenologie de l'institution monograph not yet in raw/, or further chapters that re-anchor the I&P 58-62 -> V&I 94-95 linkage from non-Mendoza-Canales-volume sources)'. Nothing has changed: Larison 2023 is not in raw/, and every one of the seven evidence bullets is either an M-C chapter or a primary passage read through Pagan's framing — bullet 6 is explicitly 'the passage that Pagan reads as inheriting', bullet 7 is 'cited via Pagan raw 861', bullet 5 lists exactly the I&P pages Pagan cites. The primary passages verify (I verified them myself), but verifying that MP wrote those sentences is not corroborating that they stand in the inheritance relation Pagan asserts. Promoting now silently waives a self-imposed condition without a new artifact.

(2) Mutual-reinforcement loop. claims#pph-as-direct-predecessor-of-institution-1955 was promoted to supported on 2026-05-05 partly on 'Pagan's explicit forward-link from I&P 58-62 to V&I 94-95 (per claims#institution-as-middle-term-1953-55 live, this run)' — see its Status History. This claim's Payoff in turn coordinates with that supported claim. Promoting on that coordination closes a loop whose only external anchor is one chapter of one volume. Note also that the neighbouring 2026-05-05 supported promotions in this cluster (pph-as-direct-predecessor, ip-pop-architectural-hierarchy, revolution-and-institution-share-mise-en-question) all landed 'under R8 user pre-authorization', a pre-v0d.24 regime; they are not precedent for a v0d.24 supported-gate promotion.

(3) The rival-tributary objection is absent from Counterpressure, so the gate-5 operation (re-read the claim with the strongest objection visible) has never been performed against it. Per the gate's design that objection should be written into Counterpressure whether or not promotion proceeds — blocked gates still strengthen the register.

Constructive route to supported, for the run digest: (a) apply the Test-2 fixes — rewrite Evidence bullet 4 (move the transindividual-domains quotation to a Mendoza-Canales Ch 4 bullet at raw :1610; re-locate the form-generating-logic phrase to raw :1971; drop or anchor the 'wild Being / flesh of life' bridge), add raw :1606 and :1812 to bullet 2, restore MP's wording at I&P 59 in the Claim, and upgrade bullets 6-7 to their now-verified direct primary anchors (raw/visible_invisible_hybrid_inline_folios_v2.md:898 with inline folios; raw/datalab-output-Adventures of the Dialectic (Maurice Merleau-Ponty).md:849); (b) add the rival-tributary objection to Counterpressure, citing .extraction-merleau-ponty-1955-adventures-of-the-dialectic.md:152 and wiki/concepts/hyper-dialectic.md section 'The 1954-55 Origin'; (c) either ingest a non-M-C secondary that re-anchors the I&P 58-62 -> V&I 94-95 link (Larison 2023 is the named candidate), or soften the Claim from 'the philosophical middle term' to 'a load-bearing middle term among the 1953-55 tributaries' — the softened form may well clear test 5 at medium on existing evidence, since the arc is well attested and both rival tributaries are themselves 1955 and so do not disturb the three-period architecture; (d) add the wild-being cite-back. Lowering confidence would not rescue promotion: the defect is the single-source interpretive chain, not the wording's strength, and dropping to low while promoting to supported would be incoherent.

Refuter (evidence-chain) — REFUTED. Paste into Counterpressure verbatim:

Evidence-chain refutation of the live→supported promotion (2026-07-27 consolidation, evidence-chain lens): two of the four Mendoza-Canales evidence bullets do not contain what they are cited for, and one of them misattributes a quotation across chapters; the Claim field's headline quotation is a reverse-order splice with an interpolated grammatical subject.

claims#institution-as-middle-term-1953-55 Evidence bullet 4 (Halák) misattributes its quotation to the wrong chapter and its terminal clause is unanchored. The bullet cites "Halák, Ch 5 §2.1 (lines 2025–2027)" and quotes institution as operating "between vital, collective, and transindividual domains." That phrase occurs nowhere in Halák's chapter (raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md lines 1961–2469); it occurs exactly once in the volume, at raw line 1610 — inside Mendoza-Canales' Ch 4 introduction — and there it reads "the notion of institution introduces a historical horizon that traverses the vital, collective, and transindividual domains of experience," not "operates between." The wiki's own extraction note assigns the phrase to Mendoza-Canales (.extraction-mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics.md line 262, Ch 4 Pass 2a Argument 3). Secondary locator defects in the same bullet: the cited lines 2025–2027 sit under Halák §2.2 "Living Beings as Institutions" (heading at raw 2021), not §2.1 (heading at raw 1981); and "form-generating logic of life itself" is at raw 1971 (Halák §1 Introduction), not in the cited range. Finally, the bullet's terminal clause — "structurally continuous with the late ontology's wild Being / flesh of life" — has no anchor at all: "wild Being" and "flesh" do not occur anywhere in Halák's chapter (grep hits jump from raw 1606 to raw 2546). Halák's chapter argues from the 1957–58 Nature lectures (Coghill/Gesell) about organismal normativity, and per the extraction note (line 386, Halák Pass 2a Argument 2) it rejects Endstiftung and de-emphasizes Urstiftung — i.e. precisely the I&P 58 "Endstiftung at the same time as Urstiftung" structure that Evidence bullet 1 makes the seed of the hyper-dialectique. The extraction note itself flags this as a possible divergence from Pagan/Larison (line 1493). So the fourth leg of the "across four chapters" convergence asserted in the Claim field is, as cited, misattributed, partly unanchored, and in tension with the first leg.

Evidence bullet 2 (Mendoza-Canales) cites ranges that contain neither of the two things it cites them for. The bullet's coinage — "Stiftung-Becoming (vs. Stiftung-Foundation)" — is not at raw 1718–1726 or 1862–1876; it is at raw 1812 (en-dash: "from the classical Stiftung–Foundation to a Stiftung–Becoming relation"), as the extraction note independently records (line 276: "line 1812"). The bullet's other assertion — that this chapter "connects 1953–54 history course to V&I's late ontology" — is likewise absent from both cited ranges; the connecting sentence is at raw 1606 ("hyper-dialectics," écart, "wild Being" … "developed more systematically in the unfinished project of The Visible and the Invisible … their seeds can already be traced back to it"), a range this entry does not cite (it is cited by the neighbouring entry claims#institution-as-paradigm-shift-from-stiftung-to-instituting-subject Evidence bullet 3 as lines 1600–1658). The cited lines do supply "dialectic without synthesis" (1718) and "hyper-dialectical movement" (1726) — but not the V&I linkage that makes the bullet load-bearing for a genealogical middle-term claim. The same pattern recurs in Evidence bullet 3 (Larison): raw 4518–4534 and 4464 fully support trans-temporality and "a past that could have been otherwise," but contain no reference to V&I or the late ontology, so the bullet's closing clause "connects … to the late ontology's structure" is the register's extension, not Larison's.

The Claim field's headline quotation is a reverse-order splice with an interpolated subject. The Claim renders one quotation attributed to "I&P 58–62": "Reaction against Hegel. We react against the idea of real synthesis... [institution] unites exteriority and interiority at each moment, while Hegel unifies them only by pushing them to the absolute." In the source these are two non-contiguous passages in reverse page order: "there is truly union of exteriority and interiority, at each moment, while Hegel unifies them only by pushing them to the absolute" is I&P 59 (raw/institution-and-passivity-course-notes-from-the-college-de-france-1954-1955.md line 1288; Pagan's fn 44 = Ibid., 59), while "Reaction against Hegel. We react against the idea of real synthesis…" is I&P 62 (same raw, line 1326; Pagan's fn 45 = Ibid., 62). Worse, the interpolation "[institution] unites" installs institution as the grammatical subject of an impersonal existential sentence ("there is truly union of…") whose local paragraph is explicitly a gloss on Husserl's traditionality and sedimentation ("Husserl: consciousness is traditionality, and the latter is understood as forgetfulness of origins…", raw I&P line 1284). Per General Rule 18, the passage's local work is Husserlian sedimentation-commentary; reading it as institution's own dialectic-without-synthesis is Pagan's interpretive move (raw 895–915), which the entry is entitled to report — but not to fold into the quotation marks of the Claim field as if the text predicated it of institution. At supported, where the entry may be cited without provisional framing, an interpolated agent inside the claim's central quotation is not admissible.

What survives and is not disputed: Evidence bullet 1's Pagan anchor (raw 915: "This dialectic without synthesis, only sketched but already present in these notes, will be deepened in The Visible and the Invisible and will be called … 'hyper-dialectic'", fn 47 = V&I 94–95) verifies exactly; V&I 94–95 verifies in raw/visible_invisible_hybrid_inline_folios_v2.md line 898 ("the only good dialectic is the hyperdialectic" … "the dialectic without synthesis of which we speak"); the AdV 64 diagnostic verifies both via Pagan (raw 861) and directly in raw/datalab-output-Adventures of the Dialectic (Maurice Merleau-Ponty).md line 849; and the I&P 76 anchor verifies at raw I&P line 1554. The claim's two-chapter core (Pagan + primary I&P/V&I/AdV) is intact — which is why this blocks the promotion rather than the entry: the defects are in the two bullets that convert a Pagan-plus-primaries reading into the "four chapters converge" warrant the Claim field asserts, and in the Claim field's own quotation.

Refuter (rival-reading) — REFUTED. Paste into Counterpressure verbatim:

Two rival readings survive the entry as written; neither is engaged in Counterpressure, so the medium rating does not survive restatement (Test 5).

(1) Deflationary reading of the "seed": Pagan's own sentence states continuity-and-deepening, flagged as a commonplace — not a mediation on which the late ontology depends. The Evidence bullet 1 forward-link (cited as "Pagan's explicit forward-link at raw 915") reads in full at raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md line 915: "This dialectic without synthesis, only sketched but already present in these notes, will be deepened in The Visible and the Invisible and will be called, as is well known, 'hyper-dialectic.'" Locally this asserts that one and the same commitment is stated early and elaborated later — a continuity thesis — and Pagan explicitly marks it as received scholarship ("as is well known"). The rival reading it licenses at least as well as the middle-term reading: the dialectic-without-synthesis is a continuous MP commitment of which the 1954–55 notes are one early statement and V&I 94–95 a later one, with no mediating philosophical work performed by the institution concept. That rival is precisely the "smooth continuity reading" the Payoff claims this entry blocks, and the cited anchor does not warrant the Payoff's much stronger dependency assertion ("hyper-dialectique cannot operate without dialectic-without-synthesis already in place"): "will be deepened" is not "presupposes." Note also that Pagan's "as is well known" contradicts Counterpressure bullet 1's characterization of the same forward-link as "novel even within MP-secondary literature" — the entry cannot have it both ways, and on the reading Pagan actually gives (a well-known continuity observation) the anchor is too thin to carry a three-period architecture. Reinforcing this, MP's own framing quoted by Pagan at raw 895/907 (I&P 79) is that the course is "not a rejection, but a 'revision of Hegelianism, which is the discovery of phenomenology, of the living, real, and original relation between the elements of the world'" — MP presents the anti-synthesis dialectic as what phenomenology already was, not as a newly forged middle term.

(2) Rival mediator: on Pagan's own local text the through-line is the perception/expression apparatus (coherent deformation), and institution is a third term added to it in 1955, i.e. a regional application to history rather than the philosophical middle term. At raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md line 893 — inside the very span (raw 893–933) Evidence bullet 1 cites — Pagan derives institution's proprietary operation from the perceptual register: institution's "sense by divergence, deformation" (I&P 11) is glossed by AdV 198's account of perception as "a certain 'coherent deformation' of the permanent links which unite us to sensorial fields and to a world," after which Pagan writes: "Merleau-Ponty maintains the close theoretical link between his phenomenological analysis of perception and his conception of history. However, in 1955, he adds a third term to the perception-history pair, namely the concept of institution." A pair whose link is already intact does not need the third term as its hinge. On this rival the mediator between the 1940s and V&I is the expression / coherent deformation apparatus already universal in MP by 1952–53 — which this register itself documents at claims#coherent-deformation-universal-operative-form (supported; Claim field and the 2026-05-24 CP-refresh bullet: ~13 attestation sites across Signs IL 1952, PbP 1953–54, ILUL 1953, PoP 1959–61) — and the 1954–55 institution course is its historical-register application. The register already houses competing middle-term entries for that same 1953–54 window (claims#pbp-as-middle-term-parole-parlante-parlee-1953-54, live; the 1953 Monday-course "conquering language" language-side-middle-term entry), so "the philosophical middle term" (definite and singular, in both the Title and the Claim field) is contested from inside the wiki. Counterpressure names no alternative mediator at all.

(3) The entry's own supported-condition is unmet, so Counterpressure bullet 1 (single-volume editorial convergence) remains live rather than relieved. The 2026-05-05 Status History line states that "promotion to supported would require corroboration outside Mendoza-Canales 2026 (e.g., Larison's 2023 Vers une phénoménologie de l'institution monograph not yet in raw/, or further chapters that re-anchor the I&P 58–62 → V&I 94–95 linkage from non-Mendoza-Canales-volume sources)." That corroboration has not arrived: grep of wiki/sources/ (incl. .extraction-*.md) and raw/ finds Larison only as a chapter author inside the M-C volume and as one unrelated transtemporality citation in .extraction-decarie-daigneault-2024-crooked-finger.md (lines 51–54, 162, 283). All four Evidence bullets that do interpretive work are chapters of the same edited volume; the primary-text bullets (I&P 58/62/76/79, V&I 94–95, AdV 64) are the passages those chapters select, not independent attestation of the middle-term architecture. Note additionally that AdV 64 is not a prior 1940s diagnostic at all: at raw 861 Pagan shows that the same 1955 passage (AdV 64–65) already names the remedy — "it is necessary to 'conceptualize the sphere proper to history, the institution'" — so the diagnosis and the remedy-term are one contemporaneous 1955 self-narration by MP. Counterpressure bullet 2 concedes only that MP did not consciously call institution a middle term; it does not register that the three-period architecture is itself MP's polemically-motivated 1955 periodization, restated by Pagan.

Until Counterpressure states and defeats (1) the continuity/deepening deflation of Pagan raw 915 and (2) the coherent deformation rival mediator — and until non-M-C corroboration exists — the claim's distinct contribution ("the dialectic-without-synthesis seed of V&I 94–95", per Counterpressure bullet 3) is exactly the part the rivals dissolve. Keep at live.

Refuter (scope) — REFUTED. Paste into Counterpressure verbatim:

Scope-gate objection (consolidation 2026-07-27, refuter lens: scope) — blocks live -> supported as worded.

(1) The first relatum is broader than, and referentially different from, the evidence. The Claim field asserts a middle term between "MP's 1940s Marxist solution to 'logic within contingence' (PhP 1945; H&T 1947; 'Concerning Marxism' 1948)" and V&I. No Evidence bullet cites PhP, H&T, or "Concerning Marxism", and none of the three is in the Sources: field — although all three are ingested (wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception.md, -1947-humanism-and-terror.md, -1948-sense-and-non-sense.md). What Pagan actually writes (raw Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md line 935) is hedged and refers to different objects: institution gives MP "what he was looking for as early as 1945 and later found – at least partially – in the Weberian idea of Wahlverwandtschaft and in Lukács' Marxism". "At least partially found" in Weber and Lukács is rendered by the entry as MP's own 1940s "solution" in three of MP's own texts. The single 1940s-facing bullet (Evidence bullet 6, AdV 64 via raw 861) diagnoses "the Marxism of the young Marx as well as the 'Western' Marxism of 1923" — Marx and Lukács — yet is glossed as "the diagnostic that institution-1953-55 was developed to remedy", sliding from a diagnosis of Marx/Lukács to a diagnosis of Merleau-Ponty's own position. A three-period middle-term claim needs its first flanking term anchored in its own right; as worded it is not.

(2) Counterpressure bullet 1's novelty assertion is contradicted by the very passage the claim rests on. Bullet 1 states that "Pagan's reading of the I&P 58–62 → V&I 94–95 forward-link is novel even within MP-secondary literature", and Counterpressure bullet 3 makes that link "[t]his claim's distinct contribution". Raw line 915 reads: "Consequently, it could be argued that the institution tends to reopen the dialectical process… This dialectic without synthesis, only sketched but already present in these notes, will be deepened in The Visible and the Invisible and will be called, as is well known, 'hyper-dialectic.'" Pagan hedges his own inference ("it could be argued") and explicitly flags the forward-link as a received commonplace ("as is well known"). The claim also italicises "seed" as if it were Pagan's term; it is the extraction note's paraphrase (wiki/sources/.extraction-mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics.md line 34), and raw 915 says only "only sketched but already present … will be deepened". The Payoff then upgrades this to a modal necessity ("hyper-dialectique cannot operate without dialectic-without-synthesis already in place"), which "will be deepened" does not license. A hedged, self-declared-well-known passage is being cited flat and novel, and Test 4 (payoff beyond "these pages are related") is resting on it.

(3) The fourth chapter of the "four-chapter convergence" is mis-scoped. Evidence bullet 4 attributes to "Halák, Ch 5 §2.1 (lines 2025–2027)" the quoted phrase "between vital, collective, and transindividual domains". That phrase is Mendoza-Canales's, in Ch 4, at raw line 1610: "I argue that the notion of institution introduces a historical horizon that traverses the vital, collective, and transindividual domains of experience." Halák's Ch 5 begins at raw 1961; "transindividual" occurs nowhere in it (all occurrences are raw 1610–1796, i.e. Ch 4). The actually cited raw 2025–2027 is Halák on birth as instituting event and the organism as "a logic in contingency" — no V&I, no wild Being, no flesh. Halák's chapter body cites V&I nowhere (the only occurrence within raw 1961–2539 is the bibliography line at 2520), so it cannot carry the bullet's "structurally continuous with the late ontology's wild Being / flesh of life". Worse, the wiki's own extraction note (line 1493) records the opposite of convergence on the load-bearing structure: "Endstiftung + Urstiftung simultaneity: STRUCTURAL in Pagan; STRUCTURAL in Larison; STRUCTURAL in Halák (de-emphasizes Endstiftung) … — but note Halák's correction (de-emphasis of Urstiftung and rejection of Endstiftung) may differ from Pagan/Larison." The claim's "Across four chapters … supplies the through-thread" papers over a divergence the wiki has already recorded, on precisely the Endstiftung/Urstiftung simultaneity that grounds dialectic-without-synthesis. (Evidence bullet 3 has a weaker version of the same problem: raw 4518–4534 is Larison on trans-temporality and on MP's non-teleological institution contra Husserl; the lines contain nothing about V&I or "the late ontology's structure", which is the bullet's stated payload.)

(4) A listed Wiki home asserts nothing. Wiki homes lists wild-being, but wiki/concepts/wild-being.md contains no reference to this slug (repo-wide grep for institution-as-middle-term-1953-55 returns only institution.md, stiftung.md, hyper-dialectic.md, revolution-as-another-stiftung.md), and no evidence bullet anchors wild Being in Mendoza-Canales 2026. supported licenses unqualified citation on the homes; one home currently carries nothing to license.

(5) Bootstrapping across near-duplicate slugs. claims#pph-as-direct-predecessor-of-institution-1955 was promoted to supported (Status History, 2026-05-05) on the warrant that "Pagan's explicit forward-link from I&P 58–62 to V&I 94–95 (per claims#institution-as-middle-term-1953-55 live, this run) closes the genealogical chain from PPH 1947–48 → Materials for a Theory of History 1953–54 → I&P 1954–55 → V&I 1959–61" — the same chain shape and the same anchor as this claim — while this entry's Counterpressure bullet 3 defends its own distinctness by pointing at that PPH claim's supported status. Promoting this entry on that basis makes two slugs mutually warrant each other from one shared, hedged passage.

Until (1)–(4) are repaired in the entry's own wording — the 1940s relatum either anchored in its own evidence bullets or narrowed to Pagan's actual Weber/Lukács referents; the "novel" characterization in Counterpressure bullet 1 corrected against raw 915's "as is well known"; Evidence bullet 4 re-attributed and the Halák leg restated to what Halák's chapter supports (organismal institution, not continuity with wild Being), with the extraction-note line 1493 divergence surfaced; and wild-being either evidenced or dropped from Wiki homes — the claim is true only under a narrowing it does not state, and stays at live.

Absence claims to re-verify (grep before relying):

(c3rev) 'flesh of life' does not occur anywhere in raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md — grepped the full file; only 'flesh of history' at line 951 (Pagan's chapter, citing the Signs preface). Evidence bullet 4 uses 'flesh of life' as its own coinage.
(c3rev) 'wild Being' does not occur in Halak's Ch 5 in raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md — whole-file grep returns only lines 955 (Pagan) and 1606 (Mendoza-Canales), both outside Halak's chapter. Evidence bullet 4's 'structurally continuous with the late ontology's wild Being' is therefore unanchored in the passage it cites.
(c3rev) 'transindividual domain' occurs in raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md only at lines 1610 and 1716, both in Mendoza-Canales's Ch 4 — not in Halak's Ch 5. The phrase quoted in Evidence bullet 4 is therefore attributed to the wrong author/chapter.
(c3rev) 'Stiftung-Becoming' / 'Stiftung-Foundation' occurs in raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md only at line 1812 — outside both line ranges (1718-1726, 1862-1876) cited by Evidence bullet 2. (The extraction note at wiki/sources/.extraction-mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics.md:276 correctly records line 1812.)

(c3rev) No evidence bullet in the entry cites a secondary source outside Mendoza-Canales 2026. I grepped wiki/sources/ (including all .extraction-*.md notes) for co-occurrence of hyper-dialectic with institution/1954/1955: the corroborating readings that surfaced (AdV Epilogue p. 203; I&P Passivity binary/ternary dialectic; Sense and Non-Sense 'Hegel's Existentialism') are the wiki's own extraction-note readings of primary texts, not an independent secondary source re-anchoring the I&P 58-62 -> V&I 94-95 link.
(c3ref:evidence-chain) The string 'Stiftung-Becoming' / 'Stiftung–Foundation' does NOT occur anywhere in raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md lines 1718–1726 or 1862–1876 (the two ranges cited by claims#institution-as-middle-term-1953-55 Evidence bullet 2). Verified by repo-wide grep for 'Stiftung-Becoming|Stiftung-Foundation' (no hyphen-form matches) and by grep -o for 'Becoming' in the raw, which returns only lines 1748, 1812, 4627, 5133; line 1812 carries the en-dash form 'Stiftung–Foundation to a Stiftung–Becoming relation'. The extraction note independently places it at line 1812 (.extraction-mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics.md line 276).
(c3ref:evidence-chain) The phrase 'vital, collective, and transindividual domains' does NOT occur anywhere in Halák's chapter (raw lines 1961–2469). Verified by grep for 'vital, collective' across the repo (single raw hit: line 1610, inside Mendoza-Canales Ch 4) and by grep -o for 'transindividual|trans-individual' in the raw, whose only hit inside Halák's chapter is 'trans-individual' at line 1985 in a different sentence about cultural creations.
(c3ref:evidence-chain) No occurrence of 'wild Being' / 'wild being' or 'flesh' anywhere inside Halák's chapter (raw 1961–2469). Verified by grep -o for 'wild Being|wild being|flesh' in the raw: hits jump from 1606 (Mendoza-Canales) to 2546 (Lanzirotti Ch 6, which begins at 2540).
(c3ref:evidence-chain) Neither Larison's cited lines (raw 4518–4534, 4464) nor Halák's cited lines (raw 2025–2027) mention The Visible and the Invisible or MP's late ontology; verified by reading the full passages at raw 4456–4545 and 2015–2039.
(c3ref:rival-reading) No source outside Mendoza-Canales 2026 that corroborates the I&P 58–62 → V&I 94–95 middle-term reading is present in the corpus: grep for 'Larison' across wiki/sources/ (including .extraction-*.md) returns only the M-C volume's own chapter author and a single unrelated transtemporality citation in .extraction-decarie-daigneault-2024-crooked-finger.md (lines 51–54, 162, 283); Glob 'raw/arison' returns no file, i.e. Larison's 2023 monograph — the corroboration the entry's own Status History names as the supported condition — is not in raw/.
(c3ref:rival-reading) The entry's Counterpressure / Limits section contains no bullet addressing (a) a rival identification of the mediator (the expression / coherent-deformation apparatus) or (b) the deflationary 'already present, later deepened' continuity reading of Pagan raw 915. Verified by reading the full Counterpressure section of claims#institution-as-middle-term-1953-55; the three bullets cover only single-volume editorial convergence, the AdV 64 retrospective-judgment caveat, and overlap with two sibling claims.
(c3ref:scope) The string 'transindividual' does not occur anywhere in Halák's Ch 5 (raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md lines 1961–2539). Verified by repo grep: all occurrences are at raw lines 1610, 1658, 1716, 1726, 1780, 1794, 1796 — all inside Mendoza-Canales Ch 4, which ends before Halák's chapter heading at line 1961.
(c3ref:scope) The phrase 'vital, collective' occurs exactly once in raw/ — at raw line 1610 (Mendoza-Canales Ch 4). Its only other repo occurrences are the claim entry itself (wiki/claims.md Evidence bullet 4) and the Ch 4 region of the extraction note (line 262). It does not occur at the cited raw 2025–2027.
(c3ref:scope) 'The Visible and the Invisible' does not appear in Halák's Ch 5 body text (raw 1961–2519); the sole occurrence inside the chapter's line range is the bibliography entry at raw 2520. Verified by grep for 'Visible and the Invisible' (hits jump from 1930, Ch 4 bibliography, to 2520, Ch 5 bibliography).
(c3ref:scope) No Evidence bullet of claims#institution-as-middle-term-1953-55 cites Phenomenology of Perception (1945), Humanism and Terror (1947), or 'Concerning Marxism' (Sense and Non-Sense, 1948), and none of the three appears in the entry's Sources: field — although all three are ingested (wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-1945-phenomenology-of-perception.md, merleau-ponty-1947-humanism-and-terror.md, merleau-ponty-1948-sense-and-non-sense.md all exist, with extraction notes).

Citation-verifier — pass 4 / uncertain 1 / fail 0.

PASS — Evidence bullet 1 — mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics, León, Ch 9 §4 (lines 3789–3879): "[A]n instituting subject is able to coexist with another because the instituted is not the immediate reflection of the activity of the former and can be taken up by himself or by others without a total recreation being at issue" (I&P 76); León argues paradigm shift, not Husserl-friendly enrichment; "communicative community" enrichment leaves intentionality as master concept.
- chain: Triple-anchored. (1) RAW: /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md line 3879 carries the quoted sentence verbatim (including the surrounding León sentence 'Merleau-Ponty proposes what is actually a paradigm shift from the constituting subject to the instituting subject'), with footnote 67 at raw line 3885 = 'Merleau-Ponty, Institution and Passivity, 76' — so the inline I&P 76 locator is the raw file's own attribution, not an invention. (2) EXTRACTION: /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics.md line 1181 (Evidence Pass 2c) quotes the same sentence with '(MP, Institution and Passivity, 76)'; line 1505 (Recurring Motifs) re-anchors it at 'León (line 3879, 3825)'. (3) The 'communicative community / intentionality as master concept' gloss is anchored twice: raw line 3773 (León §3) raises the Husserlian 'communicative community' / 'community of addressing and listening' question, and extraction line 1211 (Pass 3 alternative-view section) states 'León: such enrichment leaves intentionality as master concept'. Chapter attribution verified against the volume's Contents (raw lines 137–138: ch. 9 'Intersubjectivity, Sociality, Institution' = Felipe León) and §4 heading 'Institution and the Interdependence Claim' at raw line 3859. Only defect: the cited range 3789–3879 straddles §3 (Merleau-Ponty on Communication and Language, raw 3777–3858) and §4 (3859–3927); the quoted sentence sits at 3879, i.e. inside §4, so the §-label is right and only the range start is loose.
- rec: accept. Optional precision fix: narrow the range to '§4, lines 3859–3881' (or keep 3789–3879 but label it '§3–§4') so the section label and line range agree. Note the same 3789–3879 range is mirrored on /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/concepts/constituting-vs-instituting-subject.md line 39, so any tightening should be propagated there.
PASS — Evidence bullet 2 — mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics, Pagan, Ch 2 §3 (raw 877): instituting subject is first a reply to Sartre's voluntarist Sinngebung; constituting subject disengages from world and posits the other as its negation; instituting subject is "openness produced on the basis of" sedimented experience.
- chain: RAW verified: raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md line 877 contains, in order, every element of the bullet — 'Merleau-Ponty's course begins by replacing the constituting subject with what he calls "instituting subject"'; 'The constituting subject disengages itself from the world and constitutes it idealistically; therefore, the other subject could appear only as its negation'; 'Against Sartre's philosophy, the course summary opens with these words…'; 'openness to is always produced on the basis of'; and 'Merleau-Ponty moves away from Sartre's lacerating Sinngebung'. Locator checks out on both legs: Contents at raw lines 110–111 gives ch. 2 '"A Logic within Contingence"' = Matteo Pagan, and §3 'History and Institution' runs raw 859–967, so line 877 is inside Ch 2 §3. EXTRACTION corroboration: .extraction-mendoza-canales-…md line 94 lists Sartre as Pagan's 'principal opposed contemporary; instituting subject is first reply; "abrupt Sinngebung" / "lacerating Sinngebung" … | raw 835, 877, 985–999', and line 121 records the '"on the basis of"' silent key at raw 877.
- rec: accept. One attribution nicety, already flagged by the extraction note (line 121): in the raw, 'openness to is always produced on the basis of' is Pagan quoting Lefort's Foreword to I&P (footnote 35, raw line 885 = 'Lefort, "Foreword," in Merleau-Ponty, Institution and Passivity, xi'), not Pagan's or MP's own phrase. Consider rendering it as 'Lefort's gloss, quoted by Pagan (I&P Foreword xi)' so the bullet does not read as Pagan-original.
UNCERTAIN — Evidence bullet 3 — mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics, Mendoza-Canales, Ch 4 §1 (lines 1600–1658): the shift is "not a mere terminological adjustment but a transformation of phenomenology into a 'materialist ontology' that displaces transcendental subjectivity from its constitutive position"; M-C coins Stiftung-Becoming (vs. Stiftung-Foundation).
- chain: The substance is anchored; the quotation marks and the second sentence's locator are not. (a) ANCHOR FOUND: .extraction-mendoza-canales-…md line 262, Arguments (Pass 2a) Argument 3, opens with the bullet's quoted string word-for-word and gives '| Location: §Intro–§1, lines 1600–1658; §2, lines 1680–1688'. So the sentence is an authorized extraction-note passage at exactly the cited location — it is the extraction note's own reconstruction of M-C's thesis, NOT a quotation of Mendoza-Canales. (b) RAW at that range says something close but differently worded: raw line 1606 reads 'They mark not merely a reform of phenomenology but its transformation into a materialist ontology', and raw line 1600 reads 'He challenges the Kantian legacy at the core of Husserl's project, particularly the effort to preserve a transcendental, constitutive subjectivity'. The claim's quoted sentence is therefore a composite of two raw sentences plus connective paraphrase, presented in quotation marks — the exact shape of the wiki's known quotation-fabrication failure mode (composite passed off as verbatim), even though here nothing is invented. (c) LOCATOR DRIFT, two legs: (i) §1 ('Genesis and Experience: The Husserlian Stiftung') begins at raw line 1620, so 1600–1618 is chapter-introduction, not §1 — the extraction note is more accurate ('§Intro–§1'); (ii) the Stiftung–Becoming coinage is NOT in 1600–1658: it is at raw line 1812 (§3 'Becoming Institution'), 'By extending the dynamics of institution from the classical Stiftung–Foundation to a Stiftung–Becoming relation…' (en-dash, which is why a hyphenated grep misses it), and is glossed again in extraction Pass 2b line 276 ('| line 1812') and Argument 4 (lines 1862–1876). Chapter attribution itself is correct: Contents raw lines 114–115 give ch. 4 'The Adventures of Experience' = Ricardo Mendoza-Canales, chapter spanning raw 1554–1944.
- rec: verify against raw, then repair in place — do not remove (the evidence is real). Two edits: (1) de-quote or re-attribute the sentence, e.g. 'extraction-note Pass 2a Argument 3 reconstructs M-C's thesis as … ; M-C's own wording at raw 1606: "not merely a reform of phenomenology but its transformation into a materialist ontology"'; (2) split the locator — '§Intro–§1, lines 1600–1658' for the materialist-ontology leg, '§3, line 1812 (and §4, lines 1862–1876)' for the Stiftung–Foundation → Stiftung–Becoming coinage. The identical composite quote + 'Ch 4 §1 (lines 1600–1658)' locator is mirrored at /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/concepts/constituting-vs-instituting-subject.md line 41 and should be corrected in the same pass. Until repaired this bullet should not be counted as a verbatim-quote anchor for a supported promotion.
PASS — Evidence bullet 4 — mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics, Popa, Ch 1 §2 (raw 546–550): "Constituting is almost the opposite of instituting" (I&P 8); what "I" institute persists regardless of my temporary adhesion; the instituant is left behind by institution's productivity while constitutive consciousness remains contemporary to its constituted meaning; near-antagonism, not gradation.
- chain: RAW verified line-for-line: raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md line 548 contains 'what "I" institute persists regardless of my temporary adhesion to it, whereas the constituted sense always depends entirely on my conscious activity', 'the former being, as it were, left behind by the productivity of institution, the constitutive consciousness remains contemporary to the constituted meaning', and 'This will lead Merleau-Ponty to say that constituting is almost the opposite of instituting', whose footnote 41 at raw line 554 reads 'Merleau-Ponty, Institution, Passivity, 8' — the inline I&P 8 locator is Popa's own citation. Line 548 also supports the 'cover, obscure, and oppose each other' near-antagonism framing; line 550 continues the temporality point. Locator verified: Contents raw lines 108–109 give ch. 1 'The Institution of Experience' = Delia Popa, and §2 'Institution and Constitution' runs raw 482–575, so 546–550 is squarely inside Ch 1 §2. EXTRACTION corroboration: .extraction-mendoza-canales-…md line 822 (Evidence Pass 2c) quotes 'This will lead Merleau-Ponty to say that constituting is almost the opposite of instituting.' with '(Popa, raw 548, citing Institution, Passivity p. 8)'.
- rec: accept as-is. Strongest of the five bullets: quote, attribution, page locator and raw line all agree, and it is independently anchored in the extraction note.
PASS — Evidence bullet 5 — merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity — I&P 8: "To constitute in this sense is nearly the opposite of to institute: the instituted makes sense without me, the constituted makes sense only for me." I&P 76: "In the concept of institution we are seeking a solution to the difficulties found in the philosophy of consciousness."
- chain: Both quotes anchored in the primary raw text and on the source page. I&P 8: raw/institution-and-passivity-course-notes-from-the-college-de-france-1954-1955.md line 496 (under the session/page marker '[5] (4)' at line 494, printed-page marker {45}) carries the sentence verbatim, continuing '…only for me and for the "me" of this instant.' Same passage is a Key Passage on the source page /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md line 139, and in .extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md line 153, both located as '(5)'. The claim's 'I&P 8' page-locator is not the source page's locator scheme, but it is independently corroborated: Popa's footnote 41 (raw Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md line 554) cites exactly this sentence as 'Institution, Passivity, 8'. I&P 76: raw institution-and-passivity…md line 1554, opening the course summary 'Institution in Personal and Public History' (heading at line 1552), carries the sentence verbatim; page 76 is corroborated by León's footnote 61 (raw M-C line 3867) and Pagan's footnote 34 (raw M-C line 883), both 'Merleau-Ponty, Institution and Passivity, 76'. Same sentence is an extraction-note Evidence entry at .extraction-mendoza-canales-…md lines 61 and 1163 and a Key Passage on the M-C source page (mendoza-canales-…md line 162).
- rec: accept, with one hygiene fix: the I&P 8 quote is silently truncated — the text continues 'only for me and for the "me" of this instant' — so add an ellipsis or restore the tail. Optionally cross-reference the source page's own locator form, e.g. 'I&P 8 (5)', so a reader can find it in the raw file, whose markers are session/page brackets rather than printed folios.

Reviewer (5-test gate) — HOLD

Evidence is real and four of five bullets verify verbatim in raw, but the entry never engages the Husserl-continuity objection its own corpus supplies and has not met the supported bar it set for itself in 2026-05-05 (no non-M-C-volume corroboration, no reconciliation with the synthesis reading) - hold at live/medium, with a bullet-3 quotation-marking fix and a Husserl-side counterpressure bullet as the concrete revision path.

test1 — PASS: The claim (claims#institution-as-paradigm-shift-from-stiftung-to-instituting-subject, Claim section) is stated as an explicit corrective with named rivals: institution (1954-55) is 'best read not as a development of Husserl's Stiftung but as a paradigm shift from the constituting subject to the instituting subject', with institution and constitution as 'almost opposites'. Three opposing positions can be stated without straw-manning: (a) the Husserlian-enrichment reading (Caminada's 'common mind' / communicative community), which the entry names; (b) the flattening/translation reading (institution = French rendering of Stiftung); (c) the synthesis reading (Larison), registered separately at claims#mp-institution-as-stiftung-meets-french-social-thought (candidate). One scope ambiguity is worth noting but does not sink the test: the entry is coordinate with claims#ip-pop-architectural-hierarchy (supported), which holds the Stiftung mechanism IS retained from Husserl. The entry pre-empts this in Counterpressure bullet 2 (retains-mechanism vs rejects-constituting-subject), and /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/concepts/constituting-vs-instituting-subject.md 'What It Rejects' draws the same demarcation. Contestable formulation confirmed.
test2 — CONCERNS: All five Evidence bullets have real, locatable anchors; four verify verbatim against raw. Per-bullet: (1) Leon Ch 9 s4, cited 'lines 3789-3879' -> VERIFIED in /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md line 3879, which contains verbatim 'a paradigm shift from the constituting subject to the instituting subject' and the I&P 76 quote 'an instituting subject is able to coexist with another because the instituted is not the immediate reflection of the activity of the former and can be taken up by himself or by others without a total recreation being at issue'; the Caminada 'common mind' foil is raw fn 68/69 (lines 3887, 3889). Cross-checked at extraction note /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics.md lines 1130, 1181, 1189. (2) Pagan Ch 2 s3 'raw 877' -> VERIFIED verbatim at raw line 877: 'Merleau-Ponty's course begins by replacing the constituting subject with what he calls "instituting subject"', 'Against Sartre's philosophy, the course summary opens with these words', 'Sartre's lacerating Sinngebung', and Lefort's 'openness to is always produced on the basis of' (raw fn 35). Note the 'on the basis of' phrase is Lefort's, quoted by Pagan; the claim attributes it to the instituting subject without naming Lefort - minor attribution compression. (3) Mendoza-Canales Ch 4 s1 'lines 1600-1658' -> SUBSTANCE VERIFIED, QUOTATION MARKING DEFECTIVE. The sentence the entry places inside quotation marks ('not a mere terminological adjustment but a transformation of phenomenology into a "materialist ontology" that displaces transcendental subjectivity from its constitutive position') does not occur in raw; it is the extraction note's own Pass-2a Argument-3 summary (extraction line 262). The raw supports every component separately: 'They mark not merely a reform of phenomenology but its transformation into a materialist ontology' (raw 1606); 'He challenges the Kantian legacy at the core of Husserl's project, particularly the effort to preserve a transcendental, constitutive subjectivity' (raw 1600); the Stiftung-radicalization at raw 1656-1658. The Stiftung-Foundation / Stiftung-Becoming coinage is REAL: raw line 1812 has 'from the classical Stiftung-Foundation to a Stiftung-Becoming relation' (en-dashes, which is why a hyphen grep initially missed it). So the anchor type is legitimate (extraction-note passage per gate test 2), but the presentation reads as a quotation of Mendoza-Canales. Fix on apply: de-quote and attribute to the extraction-note paraphrase, or substitute the raw-1606 verbatim. The same string is propagated to /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/concepts/constituting-vs-instituting-subject.md line 41 and should be fixed there in the same pass (Rule 16 quotation-provenance hygiene). (4) Popa Ch 1 s2 'raw 546-550' -> VERIFIED verbatim at raw 548: 'what "I" institute persists regardless of my temporary adhesion to it, whereas the constituted sense always depends entirely on my conscious activity', 'the former being, as it were, left behind by the productivity of institution, the constitutive consciousness remains contemporary to the constituted meaning', 'constituting is almost the opposite of instituting' with fn 41 = I&P 8 (raw 554). (5) merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity, I&P 8 and I&P 76 -> VERIFIED in the primary raw /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/raw/institution-and-passivity-course-notes-from-the-college-de-france-1954-1955.md at line 496 ('To constitute in this sense is nearly the opposite of to institute...') and line 1554/1556 ('In the concept of institution we are seeking a solution to the difficulties found in the philosophy of consciousness' / 'An instituting subject is able to coexist with another...'). Locator note, not a defect: the wiki's I&P source page and extraction note locate the first passage by the raw's inline marker '(5)' (raw page-image marker {45}) while the claim follows Mendoza-Canales/Popa in citing 'I&P 8'; the summary passage sits at raw marker {109} but is cited as 'I&P 76'. Printed-vs-marker offsets are non-uniform (~37 and ~33), consistent with the corpus's documented pagination-oracle pattern; the printed locators are independently attested by two chapters' footnotes (raw 554, 3885), so this is a locator-normalization item for the ongoing sweep, not a fabrication. No bullet rests on a user-memory thesis; Rule 17 is not implicated. Verdict CONCERNS solely for the bullet-3 quotation marking.
test3 — PASS: Three counterpressure bullets are present, so the literal bar is met, and two are substantive: (i) the single-volume/editorial-convergence limit, which is real - four of five Evidence bullets are chapters of one edited collection; (ii) the coordinate tension with claims#ip-pop-architectural-hierarchy (supported), correctly resolved via the retains-mechanism / rejects-constituting-subject demarcation. Two weaknesses, recorded here and load-bearing for test 5. First, bullet 3 (Larison Ch 11) is weaker counterpressure than it appears: extraction note line 1248 records Larison's own 'Against' as 'a flattening reading taking "institution" as just the French rendering of Stiftung' - Larison also rejects the mere-development reading and adds a genealogical route (Durkheim/Mauss/Hauriou). It complicates the mechanism rather than opposing the verdict. Second, the strongest rival the entry names - Caminada's Husserlian-enrichment reading - reaches the wiki only through Leon's dismissal of it ('at best, far from convincing and, at worst, question-begging', extraction line 1130); Caminada is not an ingested source in his own voice. Sufficient for live; not yet the 'strongest objection visible' that test 5 operationally requires.
test4 — PASS: The Payoff does work no concept page performs. It re-grounds claims#ineinander-universalizes-institution (the Ineinander universalization becomes an ontological generalization of the instituting-subject paradigm rather than Husserlian Stiftung extended to flesh); it repositions claims#kaushik-stiftung-literary-frame (Kaushik's symbolic-matrix reading subsumes institution under a Husserlian-rhetorical apparatus, whereas on this reading that apparatus is a regional case); and it coordinates with claims#mp-painter-as-primary-witness-for-indirect-ontology. That is inter-claim architecture, not 'these pages are related'. It also does real page-level work: /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/concepts/institution.md ('What It Rejects', constituting-subject bullet) and /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/concepts/stiftung.md (Motif Weight section) both route through it. Two cosmetic defects to fix on apply, neither affecting the verdict: (a) the Payoff carries stale status labels - ineinander-universalizes-institution, kaushik-stiftung-literary-frame and mp-painter-as-primary-witness-for-indirect-ontology are all supported in the Summary table, not live as the prose says (the run-4 cite-back-lag pattern); (b) cross-surface enumeration drift on the wiki homes: the entry names four convergent chapters (Leon, Pagan, Mendoza-Canales, Popa), /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/concepts/constituting-vs-instituting-subject.md line 43 lists a fifth as 'Caraus, Ch 2' when Caraus is Chapter 12 per extraction-note heading line 1340 (Ch 2 is Pagan), and /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/concepts/interdependence-claim.md line 155 lists the fourth convergence as 'Halak s2.1' where the entry has Popa.
test5 — CONCERNS: counter-position: Continuity-as-radicalization, argued from the wiki's own artifacts and from the claim's own bullet 2. (1) The differentia the claim treats as institution's break with Husserl - the instituted 'makes sense without me' and 'can be taken up by himself or by others without a total recreation being at issue' - is precisely the structure Husserl's own Origin of Geometry already supplies: ideal objectivity persists beyond its founder through writing and sedimentation and is reactivable by others. The wiki records this itself: claims#origin-of-geometry-sedimentation-valence-inversion (live) lists 'Continuity-not-inversion (strongest)' as its first counterpressure and notes that Husserl's valence is 'already double'. If the Husserl-side already has trans-subjective takeup, 'paradigm shift' overstates a difference of emphasis. (2) MP himself, contemporaneously, works inside Husserl's vocabulary rather than against it: the in-corpus extraction note /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-1953-in-praise-of-philosophy.md records Course 11 pp. 188-194 deploying 'Urstiftung / Nachstiftung / Endstiftung', 'geometry as institution', 'writing as institution of ideal being' (lines 123, 299). (3) The I&P source page /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md line 38 records MP placing Husserl as one who 'had been slow to separate himself' from the philosophy of consciousness, 'though moving in the right direction' - a continuity thesis about Husserl, not a break. (4) Sharpest of all, the claim's own Evidence bullet 2 concedes that the instituting subject is first a reply to Sartre's voluntarist Sinngebung (raw 877: 'Against Sartre's philosophy, the course summary opens with these words'). If the named opponent at I&P 76 is Sartre's constituting consciousness, then reading the same move as a paradigm shift away from Husserlian Stiftung is under-determined by the very passage that anchors it: the Cartesian-Sartrean constituting subject is displaced, and Husserl is collateral only insofar as he belongs to that family - which the entry's coordinate supported claim claims#ip-pop-architectural-hierarchy already denies in the mechanism register. — Recommend HOLD at live, confidence unchanged at medium. Three reasons. First, the strongest counter-position above is not in the Counterpressure section at all - the section engages editorial convergence, a coordinate claim, and Larison (who largely agrees), but never the Husserl side, even though the corpus contains Husserl's Crisis with the Origin of Geometry appendix, MP's 1959-60 Husserl-limits course, and Themes/In Praise Course 11. Test 5 is operationally 'write the strongest objection in Counterpressure, then re-read'; with that objection written in, 'paradigm shift, not development' reads as a strong redescription of an emphasis difference, and medium confidence at supported is not defensible while medium at live clearly is. Second, the entry set its own supported bar in its Status History and has not cleared it: 'Promotion to supported would require independent corroboration from non-Mendoza-Canales-volume sources, plus reconciliation between the paradigm-shift reading and the synthesis reading'. Sources is still 2, Updated is still 2026-05-05 (no evidence added since creation), and claims#mp-institution-as-stiftung-meets-french-social-thought remains candidate (Summary table, updated 2026-07-21) with no reconciliation recorded anywhere in the entry. Third, the effective independent-corroboration base is thinner than the source count suggests: one source is the primary text being interpreted (I&P), the other is a single edited volume; the four 'converging' chapters share an editor and a house reading. Concrete revision path for a future run, all anchors verified by me: (a) de-quote or re-anchor Evidence bullet 3 (see test 2) and fix the same string at constituting-vs-instituting-subject.md line 41; (b) add a Husserl-continuity counterpressure bullet anchored to .extraction-merleau-ponty-1953-in-praise-of-philosophy.md lines 123/299 (Course 11 pp. 188-194), merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md line 38, and claims#origin-of-geometry-sedimentation-valence-inversion Counterpressure bullet 1; (c) register the available non-M-C anchors - Alloa's use of the same TLC 40 passage at .extraction-alloa-chouraqui-kaushik-2019-contemporary-philosophy.md line 89, and the Course 5 constituting/instituting opposition at .extraction-merleau-ponty-1953-in-praise-of-philosophy.md lines 93 and 107 (pp. 107-108) - noting that the latter is MP-primary and broadens attestation without supplying independent secondary corroboration of the corrective; (d) refresh the three stale status labels in Payoff; (e) fix the Caraus Ch 2 -> Ch 12 and Halak-vs-Popa enumeration drift on the two concept pages. Not a near-duplicate of any existing slug: it is coordinate with ip-pop-architectural-hierarchy (mechanism retained) and rivalled by mp-institution-as-stiftung-meets-french-social-thought (synthesis route); no merge is warranted under lint item 18.

Refuter (evidence-chain) — REFUTED. Paste into Counterpressure verbatim:

Evidence bullet 3 (Mendoza-Canales, Ch 4 §1) fails the anchor test three ways, and one of the three makes the anchor tell against the claim's headline.

(a) The quotation is not the source's. claims#institution-as-paradigm-shift-from-stiftung-to-instituting-subject Evidence bullet 3 presents, in quotation marks, "not a mere terminological adjustment but a transformation of phenomenology into a 'materialist ontology' that displaces transcendental subjectivity from its constitutive position." That sentence appears nowhere in raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md: "terminological" occurs exactly twice in the whole volume (line 1392, "terminological horizon" about the Earth as soil/stem; line 2771, "terminological choices" about il y a / Wesen / flesh), and "constitutive position" / "displaces transcendental" occur zero times. The quoted string is verbatim the extraction note's own Pass-2a paraphrase — wiki/sources/.extraction-mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics.md line 262, the Claim: field of Ch 4 argument 3 — promoted into the register as if it were Mendoza-Canales's wording, with an embedded sub-quote ("materialist ontology") that makes the outer text read as authorial. This is the General Rule 16 quotation-inflation pattern: a maintainer paraphrase upgraded to a source quotation.

(b) Rule 18 local context of the one real quotation. The volume's single occurrence of "materialist ontology" is raw line 1606: "They mark not merely a reform of phenomenology but its transformation into a materialist ontology." The grammatical subject "They" is the set of late-ontology notions named in the preceding sentence — "hyper-dialectics," écart, "brute" or "wild Being" — which the same sentence says "were elaborated after the course on institution" and "are developed more systematically in the unfinished project of The Visible and the Invisible," the institution course being only their seedbed ("their seeds can already be traced back to it"). Mendoza-Canales's predicate therefore attaches to the V&I-era vocabulary, not to the Stiftung→institution rendering; the evidence bullet re-attaches it to a different subject. (The extraction note itself reads 1606 more modestly: line 364, "'materialist ontology' (line 1606): names MP's late ontology as materialist.")

(c) Locator mismatch, and the real coinage passage supports the rival. The bullet places the Stiftung-Becoming / Stiftung-Foundation coinage at "Ch 4 §1 (lines 1600–1658)". It is not there. Raw §1 (line 1620) is titled "Genesis and Experience: The Husserlian Stiftung" and is Husserl-exposition; the coinage appears at raw line 1812, two sections later, in §3 "Becoming Institution" — as the extraction note itself records (line 276: "Stiftung-Becoming (vs. Stiftung-Foundation) … | line 1812"; line 369 seeds the candidate on "lines 1656–1658, 1750, 1762, 1812"). Read in its actual local context, line 1812 states the opposite valence to the claim's headline: "By extending the dynamics of institution from the classical Stiftung–Foundation to a Stiftung–Becoming relation, Merleau-Ponty introduces a differential element into the process" — an extension of Stiftung, ascribed to MP, not a coinage marking a break with it. The tail of the cited range says the same: raw 1656–1658, "Stiftung … points in two directions: one that tends toward continuity … and another – more latent – that gestures toward the historicity of sense as a precarious, revisable, open-ended genesis. It is precisely this second orientation that Merleau-Ponty will draw out and radicalize in his own concept of institution, transforming the Husserlian framework from within … Merleau-Ponty retains the genetic emphasis of Stiftung but reworks its logic." That is a radicalization-of-a-latent-tendency-inside-Husserl reading — i.e. precisely the "internal development of Husserlian Stiftung" that the claim's Title: field denies. The bullet cited as the third of four convergent chapters is, at the lines cited, evidence for the rival.

Consequence for the promotion. With bullet 3 withdrawn or re-anchored, the "constitution → institution" half of the claim remains well anchored (Popa raw 546–550, verified verbatim incl. I&P 8 at fn 41; Pagan raw 877, verified verbatim incl. "Sartre's lacerating Sinngebung"; León raw 3879/3939, verified verbatim). But the "not a development of Husserl's Stiftung*"* half then rests on a single sentence, León raw 3879, which as written concedes rather than denies the development reading: "it would be problematic not to see in the notion of institution more than a development of the Husserlian notion of Stiftung." "More than a development" is compatible with "a development and a paradigm shift"; it does not license "best read not as a development … but as a paradigm shift" (Claim field, first sentence) or "not internal development of Husserlian Stiftung" (Title:). Test 2 (every evidence bullet anchored in passages that warrant the use made of them) is therefore not met for the corrective half of a genealogical / corrective claim, and the Counterpressure field does not absorb the defect: it records the Larison synthesis reading and the claims#ip-pop-architectural-hierarchy tension, but nowhere records that Mendoza-Canales's own Ch 4 — cited as convergent support — reads the shift as a transformation of the Husserlian framework from within and as an extension of Stiftung. Hold at live until Evidence bullet 3 is re-anchored to lines that actually assert what it asserts (or restated as extraction-note paraphrase rather than quotation) and the "more than a development" wording of raw 3879 is reconciled with the claim's "not a development" headline.

Refuter (rival-reading) — REFUTED. Paste into Counterpressure verbatim:

Undefeated rival reading (rival-reading lens, consolidation 2026-07-27): the "constituting subject" MP opposes in the 1954–55 course is the contractualist/idealist philosophy of consciousness (Brunschvicg's reflective idealism and Sartre's Sinngebung), not Husserl's Stiftung-thinking — on which reading institution is a radicalization within Husserlian genetic phenomenology, i.e. exactly the "development" this claim denies. The rival explains all five Evidence bullets at least as well, is anchored in MP's own course text rather than in secondary reconstruction, and is not addressed by any Counterpressure bullet.

(i) The claim's two load-bearing MP passages both carry local qualifiers that restrict the opposition away from Husserl. At I&P 8 (raw/institution-and-passivity-course-notes-from-the-college-de-france-1954-1955.md line 496) the sentence reads "To constitute in this sense is nearly the opposite of to institute" — and "this sense" is fixed by the two preceding sentences, which describe consciousness on the contract model ("[The] relation with others [is conceived] as pact or contract … his decision to constitute the other"). MP's own marginal gloss on that very sentence (note 12, raw line 1610) makes the register explicit and non-Husserlian: "Juridical opposition of the notions of contract and institution." The Claim field's "Institution and constitution are almost opposites — not gradations but near-antagonists" is further cut against by MP's next sentence in the same paragraph (raw 496): "Constitution [means] continuous institution, i.e., never done" — constitution is there written as a mode of institution, i.e. a differential inside one genus, not a paradigm displaced by another.

(ii) At the very passage where MP defines institution, his operative term for the instituted's productivity is Husserl's. Raw line 506: "The instituted will change but this very change is called for by its Stiftung" (editors' note 16, raw 1618: "Stiftung is the German term for 'institution'"). And in the course's Husserl section (raw 1284) MP performs the analysis in Husserl's own vocabulary — "Every institution involves this double aspect, end and beginning, Endstiftung at the same time as Urstiftung" — and credits Husserl with the very displacement Evidence bullet 3 attributes to MP against Husserl: "[For] Husserl, finally, the transcendental origin cannot be anything other than the empirical origin" (raw 1288). Margin note 24 (raw 1636) is the same pattern: MP endorses Husserlian reactivation ("Husserl rediscovers here one of the senses of Permanent Revolution"), uses gestiftet affirmatively, and names Sartre's "abrupt Sinngebung" as the thesis to be discussed.

(iii) MP explicitly separates Husserl from the "philosophy of consciousness." Raw line 1238: "distinguish the conclusions that Husserl comes to from those that Brunschvicg comes to. Not philosophy of participation in the one, of intellectual creation, of Spirit, but philosophy of culture." The editors gloss MP's own philosophy-of-consciousness marker as "cf. Brunschvicg" (note 34, raw 4017). Correspondingly, at I&P 76 (raw 1554) Husserl enters the criticized paragraph only as a concession — "Even if we grant that certain of the objects are 'never completely' constituted (Husserl)" — not as the position's holder. The wiki's own register already carries this identification: claims#non-philosophie-as-empietement-of-refused-world (live) makes Brunschvicg's immanence philosophique MP's standing negative referent, and wiki/entities/leon-brunschvicg.md names the 1954–55 Passivity course as one step in MP's move away from Brunschvicg. The Claim field's gloss of the target as "Husserlian-Cartesian, transcendental ego" is therefore a substitution the primary text does not license.

(iv) The entry's own coordinate supported claim states the rival. claims#ip-pop-architectural-hierarchy (supported) holds in its Claim field that "Stiftung (institution's German register…) supplies the temporal grammar" and that the late work "presupposes the earlier rather than supersedes" — i.e. institution is Stiftung-thinking continued. Counterpressure bullet 2 of the present entry registers this tension and then simply asserts the reconciliation ("Both are defensible; together they specify MP's ambivalent inheritance of Husserl") without argument; asserting compatibility is not defeating the rival, and the two entries cannot both be right about whether institution is "not a development of Husserl's Stiftung."

(v) The "four-chapter convergence" is not four independent tests. The extraction note records that the same MP passage grounds three of the four chapters "with structurally identical interpretive use" (wiki/sources/.extraction-mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics.md line 1497: "institution as 'solution to difficulties of philosophy of consciousness' (MP, I&P 76): HUB-anchor in León; STRUCTURAL in Mendoza-Canales; STRUCTURAL in Pagan … same MP passage cited in three chapters with structurally identical interpretive use"), and line 1151 flags the paradigm-shift reading as standing in "Friction" with the wiki's institution–Stiftung page. Evidence bullet 2 further concedes that Pagan's instituting subject is "first a reply to Sartre's voluntarist Sinngebung, not just to Husserl" — which is the rival's chronology, not the claim's. Counterpressure bullet 1 names only a secondary-literature version of the continuity rival (Caminada's "common mind," Husserlian intersubjectivity) and says a sympathetic reader "could argue" it; it never engages the primary-text anchors in (i)–(iii), which are what make the rival live.

(vi) The entry's own supported bar is unmet. Its Status History (2026-05-05) states: "Promotion to supported would require independent corroboration from non-Mendoza-Canales-volume sources, plus reconciliation between the paradigm-shift reading (this claim) and the synthesis reading (candidate mp-institution-as-stiftung-meets-french-social-thought)." As of 2026-07-27 the Sources field still lists only the M-C volume plus I&P, Updated: is still 2026-05-05, and claims#mp-institution-as-stiftung-meets-french-social-thought is still candidate (blocked by the 2026-07-21 refuter panel). Neither precondition has been discharged.

Consequence for test 5: the confidence rating does not survive restatement against this counter-position. Until the entry states and defeats the Brunschvicg/Sartre-target reading on MP's own text — minimally addressing the "in this sense" restriction at I&P 8, margin note 12's juridical contract/institution framing, "Constitution [means] continuous institution," the affirmative Urstiftung/Endstiftung analysis at raw 1284, and raw 1238's explicit Husserl-vs-Brunschvicg separation — and until Larison-independent, non-M-C-volume corroboration arrives, the claim stays at live.

Refuter (scope) — REFUTED. Paste into Counterpressure verbatim:

Scope defect (blocks live→supported, consolidation run 2026-07-27): the Claim field's Stiftung-exclusion is broader than every anchor, which excludes constitution, not Stiftung. The entry's Claim field and Title assert institution "is best read not as a development of Husserl's Stiftung but as a paradigm shift from the constituting to the instituting subject." No cited passage supports the exclusion as worded; four of them contradict it, and the fifth is additive rather than exclusive.

The anchor of Evidence bullet 1 says "more than," not "not." León's actual sentence (raw Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md line 3879) is: "it would be problematic not to see in the notion of institution more than a development of the Husserlian notion of Stiftung. The main reason is that … Merleau-Ponty proposes what is actually a paradigm shift from the constituting subject to the instituting subject." "More than a development of X" presupposes that it is a development of X and adds a surplus; the Claim field converts it into the exclusion "not a development of X." A hedged/additive source formulation is being cited as flat. León's own footnote 66 (raw line 3883) cites Larison's "Stiftung et pensée du social" in support, which further blocks reading his paradigm-shift thesis as an anti-Stiftung-lineage thesis.

The I&P 8 anchors (Evidence bullets 4 and 5) are about constitution, a different Husserlian term. Popa's local context (raw line 548) reads: "if we collapse institution into constitution (taking the latter in the Kantian sense, but also in the Husserlian sense of bestowing, giving meaning) …. This will lead Merleau-Ponty to say that constituting is almost the opposite of instituting." Pagan's local context (raw line 877) likewise: "Moving away from the Kantian and Husserlian concept of constitution …". The near-antagonism is established between institution and constitution/Sinngebung; the Claim field transfers it onto Stiftung, which is not a false-friend-free substitution — Stiftung is precisely the Husserlian term MP keeps.

Evidence bullet 3's own chapter frames the shift as a transformation of Stiftung. Mendoza-Canales Ch 4 announces §2 as "the theoretical and methodological transformation that occurs when Merleau-Ponty renders Stiftung as 'institution'" (raw line 1610), and (extraction note .extraction-mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics.md line 262) "Merleau-Ponty radicalizes the latent second orientation in Stiftung … by abolishing the privileged constitutive pole." His coinage Stiftung-Becoming vs Stiftung-Foundation (extraction lines 264, 276) is a distinction internal to Stiftung — it names a species of Stiftung, so it cannot underwrite "not a development of Stiftung." Same volume, Pagan fn 10 (raw line 783): the Stiftung→institution translation "is strategic, since it allows Merleau-Ponty to free this concept from the residual subjectivism that he still finds in Husserl" — i.e. purification of Stiftung, not replacement of it. Same volume again, Halák (raw line 1983): "the concept of 'institution' in Merleau-Ponty's works primarily serves as a translation of Husserl's notion of Stiftung."

The entry's own Counterpressure states the narrowing the Claim field withholds. Counterpressure bullet 2 ("Tension with claims#ip-pop-architectural-hierarchy") concedes: "the paradigm-shift claim is about what the late MP rejects from Husserl (the constituting subject)," while conceding that the Stiftung mechanism is what MP retains. The claim is defensible only under that narrowing — and the narrowing appears nowhere in the Claim field, the Title, or the slug (…-from-stiftung-to-instituting-subject, which lexically encodes the very equivocation: it pairs Stiftung as the from-term with instituting subject as the to-term, although the anchors' from-term is uniformly constituting subject). Per the supported gate, a claim true only under an unstated narrowing is not yet supported as worded.

The equivocation has already propagated to a Wiki home, which is the concrete cost of promotion. wiki/concepts/institution.md §"What It Rejects", first bullet (line 229) reads: "Institution is not a development inside Husserlian Stiftung — it is its near-antagonist (I&P 8 'nearly the opposite')" — attributing to Stiftung the near-antagonism that I&P 8 asserts of constitution. At live this is at least marked provisional; at supported it becomes citable as a stable synthetic claim without provisional framing, and the same wording is already mirrored at wiki/questions/institution-and-ineinander.md §"A Complementary Refinement: Paradigm Shift, Not Stiftung-Extension" (lines 72–76) and in the coordinate gloss at wiki/concepts/interdependence-claim.md line 155. Note also that wiki/concepts/stiftung.md line 178 and wiki/motifs.md §"constituting vs instituting subject" (lines 402–406) home the material as the "Stiftung-Foundation → Stiftung-Becoming" distinction — i.e. the homes themselves describe an intra-Stiftung development, not a rejection of Stiftung.

Register-level coexistence the wording papers over. Three neighbouring entries assert Stiftung-continuity that the Claim field's flat exclusion contradicts rather than qualifies: claims#ip-pop-architectural-hierarchy (supported: Stiftung as the German register of institution, retained from Husserl), claims#mp-institution-as-stiftung-meets-french-social-thought (candidate: the Larison synthesis reading, which León's own fn 66 endorses), and claims#institution-as-middle-term-1953-55 Evidence (which cites the same Stiftung-Becoming coinage for a different thesis). The entry's Status History for 2026-05-05 itself set reconciliation with the synthesis reading as a precondition of supported; no such reconciliation has been recorded (Updated: still 2026-05-05, Sources unchanged).

The scope defect is repairable by restating the from-term as constitution / the constituting subject (what every anchor actually excludes) and demoting the Stiftung clause to León's own additive form ("more than a development of Stiftung"), with the institution.md §"What It Rejects" bullet and the institution-and-ineinander.md heading corrected in the same pass. Until then the claim does not survive restatement as worded and remains at live.

Absence claims to re-verify (grep before relying):

(c3ver) The composite sentence quoted in Evidence bullet 3 ('not a mere terminological adjustment but a transformation of phenomenology into a "materialist ontology" that displaces transcendental subjectivity from its constitutive position') does not appear verbatim anywhere in raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md. Searches performed: repo-wide grep for 'materialist ontology' (only raw hit = line 1606, wording differs) and grep for 'a solution to the difficulties found in the philosophy of consciousness'; direct Read of raw lines 1596–1625. The nearest raw wordings are at lines 1600 and 1606. The sentence DOES appear verbatim in wiki/sources/.extraction-mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics.md line 262 (Arguments Pass 2a), which is an authorized anchor — so this is a mis-framed quotation, not a missing source.
(c3ver) The coinage 'Stiftung-Becoming / Stiftung-Foundation' does not occur within the cited range raw lines 1600–1658. Searches performed: repo-wide grep 'Stiftung-Becoming|Stiftung-Foundation' (returned zero raw hits, because the raw uses en-dashes), then a 60-hit count of 'Stiftung' in the raw file and a direct Read of raw lines 1810–1814, which located the coinage at raw line 1812 ('from the classical Stiftung–Foundation to a Stiftung–Becoming relation'), inside §3 'Becoming Institution' (heading raw line 1748). Extraction note line 276 independently locates it at line 1812. I therefore assert absence only from the cited 1600–1658 window, not from the chapter.
(c3ver) Section §1 of Mendoza-Canales's Ch 4 does not begin before raw line 1620: heading grep for '^#+ ?[0-9]+ ' shows '#### 1 Genesis and Experience: The Husserlian Stiftung' at raw line 1620, so raw 1600–1618 lies in the chapter introduction. (The extraction note's own locator, '§Intro–§1', already reflects this; the claim's '§1' does not.)
(c3ver) León Ch 9 §4 does not begin before raw line 3859 (heading '#### 4 Institution and the Interdependence Claim'), so raw 3789–3858 of the cited 3789–3879 range falls in §3 ('Merleau-Ponty on Communication and Language', heading raw 3777). Verified by the same heading grep; the quoted sentence itself is at 3879, inside §4.
(c3ver) The I&P 76 course-summary sentence is not present as a Key Passage on wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md nor in .extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md. Search performed: repo-wide grep for 'a solution to the difficulties found in the philosophy of consciousness' (hits in raw/institution-and-passivity…md line 1554, raw M-C lines 305/877/1676/3613/3861/3929, the M-C extraction and source page, and several concept pages — but not in the MP source page or its extraction note). This is a coverage gap in the MP source page, not a defect in the claim: the citation is raw-verified at line 1554 and page-verified via two independent M-C footnotes.
(c3rev) The string 'not a mere terminological adjustment' does not occur in raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md. Verified by repo-wide grep: the only three hits are wiki/claims.md (this entry, Evidence bullet 3), wiki/sources/.extraction-mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics.md line 262 (Pass-2a Argument 3), and wiki/concepts/constituting-vs-instituting-subject.md line 41. The raw's nearest verbatim is 'They mark not merely a reform of phenomenology but its transformation into a materialist ontology' (raw line 1606).
(c3rev) The entry's Counterpressure / Limits section contains no Husserl-side continuity objection (i.e. no bullet arguing that Husserl's own Stiftung / Origin-of-Geometry account already supplies trans-subjective takeup). Verified by reading the full section, all three bullets.
(c3rev) No reconciliation with claims#mp-institution-as-stiftung-meets-french-social-thought is recorded in this entry beyond the pointer in Counterpressure bullet 3; that claim is still candidate per the claims.md Summary table (updated 2026-07-21), so the reconciliation condition the entry's own Status History set for supported promotion is unmet.
(c3rev) No evidence has been added to the entry since creation: Sources remains 2 and Updated remains 2026-05-05, so the 'independent corroboration from non-Mendoza-Canales-volume sources' condition is unmet. (Corroborating material does exist unregistered - Alloa at .extraction-alloa-chouraqui-kaushik-2019-contemporary-philosophy.md line 89 and Course 5 at .extraction-merleau-ponty-1953-in-praise-of-philosophy.md lines 93/107 - but is not cited in the entry.)
(c3rev) Emanuele Caminada, the entry's named rival position, is not an ingested source in his own voice: no source page or extraction note for Caminada exists under wiki/sources/ (grep for 'Caminada' across wiki/ returns only log.md, concepts/institution.md, concepts/interdependence-claim.md, claims.md and the M-C extraction note; grep across raw/ returns only the M-C volume plus two unrelated Merleau-Ponty Ineditis volumes, no Caminada text). His position reaches the wiki only via Leon's report and dismissal of it.
(c3rev) 'Stiftung-Becoming' / 'Stiftung-Foundation' with ASCII hyphens do not appear in the raw - but this is NOT an absence of the coinage: raw line 1812 uses en-dashes ('from the classical Stiftung-Foundation to a Stiftung-Becoming relation'). Recorded here so a later reviewer does not repeat the false-positive.
(c3ref:evidence-chain) The string 'not a mere terminological adjustment' does not occur anywhere in raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md — 'terminological' occurs exactly twice in the volume (line 1392, 'terminological horizon' about the Earth/soil/stem; line 2771, 'terminological choices' about il y a / Wesen / flesh), neither in Ch 4 §1 nor about Stiftung.
(c3ref:evidence-chain) The strings 'constitutive position' and 'displaces transcendental' do not occur anywhere in raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md.
(c3ref:evidence-chain) 'materialist ontology' occurs exactly once in raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md, at line 1606.
(c3ref:evidence-chain) Neither 'Stiftung-Becoming' nor 'Stiftung–Becoming' occurs anywhere in raw lines 1600–1658 (the range cited by Evidence bullet 3); the volume's relevant occurrence is at line 1812, in §3 'Becoming Institution'.
(c3ref:evidence-chain) The Counterpressure / Limits field of claims#institution-as-paradigm-shift-from-stiftung-to-instituting-subject contains no bullet recording that Mendoza-Canales's own Ch 4 — cited in Evidence as one of the four convergent chapters — frames the shift as a transformation of the Husserlian framework 'from within' / an 'extension' of Stiftung.
(c3ref:rival-reading) The entry claims#institution-as-paradigm-shift-from-stiftung-to-instituting-subject Counterpressure/Limits contains no mention of Brunschvicg, of MP's margin note 12 (contract/institution juridical opposition), or of MP's affirmative intra-course use of Urstiftung/Endstiftung — verified by reading the whole entry and by grep -o Brunschvicg wiki/claims.md, whose 13 hits all fall in other entries (non-philosophie-as-empietement-of-refused-world and neighbours), none inside this entry.
(c3ref:rival-reading) No non-Mendoza-Canales-volume corroborating source has been added to the entry since creation: the Sources field lists exactly mendoza-canales-2026-institution-ontology-politics and merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity, and Updated: is still 2026-05-05 (same as Created:).
(c3ref:rival-reading) claims#mp-institution-as-stiftung-meets-french-social-thought is still Status: candidate (verified in wiki/claims.md), so the 'reconciliation between the paradigm-shift reading and the synthesis reading' that this entry's own Status History sets as a precondition for supported has not been performed.
(c3ref:rival-reading) Merleau-Ponty does not name Husserl as the holder of the criticized position at I&P 76: in the raw passage (line 1554) Husserl appears only inside a concessive parenthesis ('Even if we grant that certain of the objects are "never completely" constituted (Husserl)'). Verified by reading the full paragraph, not by keyword absence alone.
(c3ref:scope) The entry's Claim field and Title state the Stiftung-exclusion flatly ('not ... a development of Husserl's Stiftung') and do NOT anywhere state the narrowing to 'the constituting subject / constitution' that Counterpressure bullet 2 concedes — verified by reading the entry in full (Claim, Evidence, Counterpressure, Payoff, Status History), not by grep alone.
(c3ref:scope) No source in raw/Merleau-Ponty- Institution-Ontology-Politics.md asserts that institution is NOT a development of Stiftung: I grepped the raw for 'fondation' / 'translat.{0,40}Stiftung' and read every Stiftung-vs-institution framing hit (lines 783, 1610, 1983–1989, 3879, 4486); every one of them frames institution as a translation/rendering/radicalization OF Stiftung. The only near-match, León raw 3879, is the additive 'more than a development of', not a denial.

Line 625 independently confirms both the "ontologie du monde perçu" first-naming in the 1955 résumé officiel and the primat→"priorité ontologique" rewriting; line 635 confirms the third mutation (the litany "échelonnés de fin 1958 à mars 1961").

- chain: Location and structure verify; one inline date does not. Anchor: extraction note line 10 = Pass 2a Argument 1, stated Location verbatim "Ch. I §1 (lines 547-664)", listing exactly the four critics and the same 1953/1955/V&I rumination arc. Raw confirms: line 547 = "## § 1. Merleau-Ponty face à ses critiques"; 549 = "### a) Les objections de Jean Hyppolite et Jean Beaufret", with the 23 novembre 1946 SFP séance and the Hyppolite désolidarisation exchange transcribed at 553–561; 601 = "### b) Les objections de Pierre Lachièze-Rey et Ferdinand Alquié"; 611 carries both the Lachièze-Rey "finalisme aristotélicien, voire un panthéisme" charge and Alquié's "philosophie de l'ambiguïté" Fontaine article; 563 carries the rumination claim (MSME 1953, PbPassiv 1955, V&I working notes). Beaufret's "not radical enough" is in the §1a span per the extraction note (I did not isolate its raw line, but the §1a heading and 1946 séance are confirmed at 549–561). DEFECT: the bullet dates the Alquié Fontaine article to "1948–49", but Saint Aubert's own footnote 28 (raw line 2140) and bibliography entry (raw line 1708) both give «Une philosophie de l'ambiguïté. L'existentialisme de Merleau-Ponty», Fontaine, t. XI, n° 59, 1947, p. 47-70. Footnote 28 is the note attached to the very sentence at raw 611 the bullet paraphrases, so the source contradicts the bullet's date at the cited location. The error is inherited from extraction Argument 1 ("two years later" after 1946), so it is a propagated note-level slip, not a fabrication; the same 1948–49 dating also appears in the entry's Claim statement and would need correcting there too.
- rec: accept the anchor; apply a dated errata correcting "Alquié Fontaine 1948–49" to 1947 (per SA note 28 / bibliography, raw lines 2140 and 1708) in both this Evidence bullet and the Claim statement's "objections from 1948–49" phrasing — e.g. "1947–49" if the Lachièze-Rey leg is meant to span later. Not a blocker to supported; a correctness repair.
UNCERTAIN — claims#mp-1955-three-coordinated-mutations Evidence bullet 4 — merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity: the institution course (1954–55) operates in the same 1955 register; institution-concept and priorité ontologique share the moment MP first articulates against the post-1948 critics
- chain: NO INLINE LOCATOR AND NO QUOTE — the bullet cites the source page bare. This matters more than usual: it is the entry's only non-Saint-Aubert bullet, i.e. the sole leg standing between the claim and the single-source dependency its own Counterpressure concedes. As written it fails Test 2 ("passage/location"). However, per the anti-false-positive discipline I searched rather than asserting absence, and adequate anchors DO exist and are unclaimed: (a) the periodization half is verifiable from the source page frontmatter itself (/Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md, original_title: "L'Institution. La Passivité. Notes de cours au Collège de France (1954–1955)", aliases incl. "Problème de la passivité"), and its summary states MP marks the two parallel courses as a single project ("No introduction: cf. other course"); (b) the interpretive half is anchored in /Users/jeffreyvd/dev/wikiwip/wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md — Pass 2a Argument 1 (line 12) names Alquié and Lachièze-Rey as targets with Location "Passivity Intro 211-215 verso", and the ## Recurring Motifs section (line 263, inside the 201–277 span) quotes the course itself at 218: "the ontological priority of the perceived world" — the exact formulation the claim says mutates in 1955, attested in MP's own 1954–55 text. Both are authorized anchor classes; the bullet simply does not cite them. Two further mentions I checked and am NOT counting, because they sit in unauthorized sections: line 301 (## Entities: the two critics' "objections are answered in the first several pages of the Passivity course") and line 345 (## Diagnostics Pass 3 Part B motif candidate).
- rec: verify-and-repair before any supported promotion: rewrite the bullet to cite the anchors that exist — I&P Passivity Intro 211–215 verso (extraction Pass 2a Argument 1) plus the 218 quotation "the ontological priority of the perceived world" (extraction Recurring Motifs). With that locator the bullet becomes a genuine primary-text corroboration of mutation (i) and materially weakens the single-source Counterpressure; left bare, it is an unanchored periodization assertion and the entry is effectively single-source.

Reviewer (5-test gate) — REQUEST-REVISION

Hold at live (do not promote): the philological core is verified twice over — including an unrecorded primary-text anchor in MP's own 1955 course notes at raw line 2332 — but one evidence bullet is unanchored as written, the Alquié dating is wrong (1947, not 1948-49, per SA's own bibliography), and Counterpressure bullet 2 falsely states the archival anchors are not in raw/; four targeted repairs, all anchored in this review, would likely clear the gate next run.

test1 — CONCERNS: Contestable in form: it names a date (1955, not 1957), a modality (coordinated, not coincidental), three enumerated mutations, and two named addressees, and its Counterpressure names two live rivals (Lefort's 1957 Nature-course dating; the loose-drift reading). A reader can oppose it without straw-manning. Two formulation defects, both material for a claim typed philological.

(a) Leg (iii) is self-undercutting as written. The claim's headline is that 1955 produces the three mutations, but leg (iii) is stated as 'the protest ... enters MP's litany (notes from late 1958 through March 1961)' — i.e. the claim itself dates its own third leg to 1958-61. Saint Aubert is more careful than the claim: at raw/Vers une ontologie indirecte - Emmanuel de Saint Aubert.md line 635 he says the two 1955 passages just quoted 'en constituent, chronologiquement, les deux premiers exemples' — the 1955 texts are the first two instances of the protest, and the litany that follows runs late-1958 to March 1961. That sentence is the anchor that would make leg (iii) belong to 1955, and it is present in raw but absent from the claim. Restating leg (iii) as 'the protest's first two chronological instances occur in the 1955 PbPassiv feuillets, becoming a recurrent litany from late 1958 to March 1961' would repair this at zero evidential cost.

(b) 'coordinated (not coincidental)' is the load-bearing word and is never operationalized. The claim tells us what it denies (coincidence/drift) but not what would distinguish coordination from drift, so the central contest it invites has no stated decision procedure. This matters at Test 5, where the rival reading turns entirely on this word.

test2 — CONCERNS: Three of four bullets verify against raw; the fourth is unanchored as written, though the anchor exists and I located it. No Rule 17 exposure — nothing here traces to a user-memory thesis.

Bullet 1 (saintaubert-2006-vers-une-ontologie-indirecte, Ch. I §1c, raw 623-664) — VERIFIED, all three quotations verbatim. Section heading at raw line 623 is literally 'c) Conséquences : trois mutations terminologiques significatives'. 'Tous nos concepts sont anthropocentriques' at raw 667 ('une note inédite de 1958 ou 1959'). 'Le sujet percevant, l'univers de la perception, quand il est vraiment pris pour premier, n'est pas un univers "anthropologique" à la surface de l'en soi inconnaissable' at raw 681, introduced at raw 679 as 'Une note inédite de 1958'. The Lachièze-Rey/Ruyer passage at raw 627, verbatim. Extraction-note anchor confirmed: wiki/sources/.extraction-saintaubert-2006-vers-une-ontologie-indirecte.md line 12 is Pass 2a Argument 2 and states the triad. Cosmetic only: the stated range 623-664 does not contain lines 667/681, which the bullet cites separately.

Bullet 2 (raw 627) — VERIFIED. Also 'la "réhabilitation ontologique du sensible" du Philosophe et son ombre (achevé fin 1958)' at raw 625.

Bullet 3 (saintaubert-2006-vers-une-ontologie-indirecte, Ch. I §1, raw 547-664) — structure VERIFIED, dating DEFECTIVE. Verified: Hyppolite at SFP 23 Nov 1946 (raw 551, dialogue transcribed 555-561); Beaufret at the same session, 'pas d'être allé "trop loin", mais plutôt de n'avoir pas été assez radical' (raw 577); Lachièze-Rey's Aristotelian-finalist/pantheist reproach (raw 611); Alquié's Fontaine 'philosophie de l'ambiguïté' (raw 611); the rumination through 1953 MSME (raw 563-565), 1955 PbPassiv (raw 603), and the V&I manuscripts (raw 611). DEFECT: the bullet dates the Alquié article '1948-49' and Lachièze-Rey '1948-55'. Saint Aubert's own bibliography (raw 1708) and footnote 28 (raw 2140) both give Fontaine t. XI, n° 59, 1947, pp. 47-70. The 1948-49 dating appears to originate in the extraction note's paraphrase 'two years later' (extraction line 10), which has no raw warrant, and was then hardened into an explicit date range in both the Claim statement and this bullet. For Lachièze-Rey there is no publication date anywhere in Saint Aubert; his Lachièze-Rey anchors are MP's own course notes (fn 25 raw 2128 = MSME 25, [210]; fn 26 raw 2132 = PbPassiv p.165/216, 201, [117]; fn 27 raw 2136 = N-Corps [29]v). A wrong date inside a philological claim about dating is not cosmetic.

Bullet 4 (merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity) — NOT VERIFIED AS WRITTEN. This bullet carries no locator of any kind: no page, folio, line, or extraction-note reference. Its content is a periodization assertion ('the same period of MP's working life') plus an interpretive coupling ('share the moment'). Under Test 2 a characterization of argumentative function is permitted only when anchored in specific passages; this one anchors in nothing.

The anchor exists and is strong, which is why I record this as CONCERNS and not FAIL. Per Rule 18 I ran the targeted raw check on the I&P side, and the published Passivity course in raw/institution-and-passivity-course-notes-from-the-college-de-france-1954-1955.md carries MP's own words at line 2332: 'What I proposed [is] different from Ruyer; what Lachièze-Rey does not see is [the] ontological priority of the perceived world (and the phenomenal body), i.e., all being that has a meaning for us is to be conceived on the basis of the perceived world:' — the exact passage Saint Aubert quotes at raw 627, with the numbered points 1) and 2) following at raw 2334 and 2336 and matching Saint Aubert's. Alquié's objection is in MP's notes at line 2282 (folio 216); Lachièze-Rey's at line 2292 (folio [216 verso]); the section title 'For an Ontology of the Perceived World' appears in the TOC at line 127 (p. 133) and as a heading at lines 2424 and 4049. The I&P extraction note already records it: wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md line 263, '218: "the ontological priority of the perceived world"', with the Alquié/Lachièze-Rey objection structure at lines 301 and 345. One locator caution for whoever applies the fix: that extraction-note folio 218 is drifted — raw places the passage under 118 (raw 2322), while 218 ends at raw 2314; the volume's footnote 27 (raw 4003) explains that pages 109-118 were replaced by an alternate introduction paginated 211-218, which is the source of the two-series confusion. Cite raw line 2332 / folio 118, or verify the printed folio before using [218].

Recommended fix for bullet 4: replace the periodization prose with the I&P anchors above. This converts the claim's second source from a mood-setting mention into an independent primary-text attestation of mutation (i) and of the objection-structure.

test3 — CONCERNS: Counterpressure is present, three bullets, and none of them is a straw objection — it names single-source dependency, unpublished-notes exposure, and the rival datings (Lefort 1957; the 1959 V&I-drafts reading). On volume and seriousness this clears the bar. It does not clear it on accuracy, and at the supported gate the Counterpressure section is the instrument Test 5 reads the claim against, so a false statement inside it propagates.

Counterpressure bullet 2 is factually wrong in its operative half. It states that 'priorité ontologique' appears in the PbPassiv course 'but the original course materials require BNF access', and then: 'Saint Aubert's archival anchors are not in raw/; the mutations claim can be cited but not independently verified within the audit.' The Passivity course notes have been in raw/ since the I&P ingest, and the priorité-ontologique passage is independently verifiable there at raw/institution-and-passivity-course-notes-from-the-college-de-france-1954-1955.md line 2332, together with the Alquié objection (2282) and the Lachièze-Rey objection (2292). The entry is therefore telling the register that its own corpus cannot check something the corpus does check. This is stale rather than fabricated — the sentence was presumably true relative to what the 2026-05-05 ninth-run had in view — but it should not survive into a supported entry, and correcting it strengthens rather than weakens the claim.

Knock-on: Counterpressure bullet 1's 'single-source dependency' is correspondingly overstated. What is genuinely Saint-Aubert-only is the coordination thesis and the 1955-cardinality framing. Mutation (i) and the four-objection structure are attested independently in MP's own 1954-55 course notes. Splitting those apart would sharpen the limit rather than blunt it: it would isolate exactly the proposition that rests on one secondary reading.

One claim in Counterpressure bullet 1 I did not verify and am not asserting either way: 'the wiki has no other secondary source that articulates the exact triad.' I did not run an exhaustive sweep of the secondary corpus, so I neither confirm nor contest it.

test4 — PASS: Genuine payoff, not aggregation. Three things become visible that institution and indirect-ontology cannot yield on their own.

(1) A re-dating with consequences. Moving the emergence of the late ontology from 1957 to 1955 is a substantive historiographical move against a dominant secondary reading, and it changes what one takes to be new in the 1954-55 Institution course: not merely an institution-concept but a coordinated shift in ontological vocabulary. That directly conditions how claims#institution-as-middle-term-1953-55 should be read.

(2) It makes another claim's load-bearing distinction intelligible. The Payoff's best move is the observation that MP's 'ce que je fais n'est pas une anthropologie mais une ontologie' is addressee-specific rather than a generic ontological commitment — which is what makes the anthropologisme/anthropologie distinction (claims#anthropologisme-vs-anthropologie-distinction) do work rather than merely record a lexical fact. Saint Aubert's own framing supports this: at raw 661 he says the protests generated the 'tournant anti-anthropocentrique de facture heideggérienne' reading, and 'voilà pourquoi il était capital de revenir au contexte critique'. A reader with only the two concept pages would read the protest as doctrine; the claim makes it polemic.

(3) It supplies a defeater-shape for the Heideggerian-turn thesis that is independent of the archival-thinness argument in claims#mp-heidegger-reception-archivally-thin: if the vocabulary shift is already complete in 1955 and is addressed to two French Cartesian-Kantian critics, then the 1958-61 Heidegger reading arrives after the fact. That convergence of two independently-anchored claims is exactly the kind of thing the register exists to hold.

Caveat carried forward from Test 1: payoff (2) is strongest precisely where leg (iii) is weakest, since the protest passages Saint Aubert quotes are the 1958-61 ones. The payoff survives, but it leans on the leg the claim states least carefully.

test5 — CONCERNS: counter-position: The 'coordination' is Saint Aubert's chapter heading adopted as a finding, and the entry's own timeline defeats it. Take the three legs on their own dates. (i) 'priorité ontologique' — 1955, in the preparation feuillets; verified. (ii) 'ontologie du monde perçu' — 1955, but Saint Aubert himself says at raw 625 that the feuillets de préparation 'n'emploient pas encore cette désignation': the name appears in the résumé officiel, a retrospective year-end document of different genre and occasion. (iii) the 'pas une anthropologie mais une ontologie' protest — dated by the claim's own text to 'late 1958 through March 1961', three to six years later. So the triad is one course-note coinage, one retrospective summary title, and one late-period recurrent formula. Calling these 'three coordinated mutations' of a single cardinal year is a periodizing gesture — and it is literally Saint Aubert's section heading at raw 623, 'c) Conséquences : trois mutations terminologiques significatives'. The claim inherits a historian's chapter architecture as though it were an archival result. Worse for the 1957 polemic: Saint Aubert concedes at raw 679 that the pejorative sense of anthropologisme 'se renforce durant la première année de cours sur le concept de Nature (1957)' — his own text puts real reinforcement of leg (iii) in exactly the year the claim says the standard reading over-weights. And the claim's universal — 'All three are explicit responses to Lachièze-Rey's ... reading and to Alquié's Fontaine ... article' — is verified for leg (i) only: the litany fragments Saint Aubert quotes at raw 637-659 name no critic in themselves; the critical context is supplied by his framing prose at 635 and 661. So the claim asserts of three mutations what is demonstrated of one. — Recommend hold at live, confidence unchanged at medium. The rating is defensible for a narrower claim than the one written, and the gap between the two is what blocks promotion this run.

Re-reading the claim with the objection visible, here is what survives untouched: 1955 is the year of the priorité ontologique mutation, and that mutation is explicitly addressed to Lachièze-Rey. That is verified twice over and independently — Saint Aubert at raw 627, and MP's own course notes at raw/institution-and-passivity-course-notes-from-the-college-de-france-1954-1955.md line 2332. medium is comfortable, arguably conservative, for that proposition.

What does not survive at medium as currently written is two things. First, the modality 'coordinated (not coincidental)'. The claim offers no criterion separating coordination from drift, Saint Aubert's own dating spreads the legs across 1955-1961, and the coordination thesis is the one part of the claim with genuinely single-source dependency. Second, the universal 'All three are explicit responses to Lachièze-Rey ... and to Alquié', which is demonstrated for leg (i), plausible for leg (ii) via the same 1955 course, and unverified for leg (iii).

The procedural point that decides this: Test 5 asks whether the rating survives restatement against the Counterpressure as recorded, and the Counterpressure as recorded is partly false. Its bullet 2 says the archival anchors are 'not in raw/' and the claim 'can be cited but not independently verified within the audit'. That sentence simultaneously understates the evidence for leg (i) — which raw/ does verify — and misdirects the reader about where the real weakness lies, implying that only BNF access could settle the matter when in fact BNF access would not settle coordination at all. A confidence rating cannot be said to have survived its strongest counter-position when the section holding that counter-position misdescribes the evidence situation in both directions. This is a repair-then-reconsider, not a rejection.

Concrete revision list for the next run, all four items anchored above and none requiring new ingest:

Bullet 4 — replace the unanchored periodization prose with the I&P anchors: raw line 2332 (ontological priority of the perceived world), 2282 (Alquié objection, folio 216), 2292 (Lachièze-Rey objection, folio [216 verso]), plus the extraction-note entry at wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md line 263. Verify the folio before citing 218 — see the two-series caution in my Test 2 note.
Correct the Alquié dating to 1947 (Fontaine t. XI, n° 59, 1947, pp. 47-70; SA raw 1708 and fn 28 at raw 2140) in both the Claim statement and Evidence bullet 3, and drop or anchor 'Lachièze-Rey 1948-55', for which Saint Aubert gives no publication date anywhere.
Rewrite Counterpressure bullet 2 to state the true limit: the published Passivity course in raw/ independently attests mutation (i) and the objection-structure; what remains BNF-dependent and Saint-Aubert-only is the coordination thesis and the leg-(iii) dating. Split bullet 1's 'single-source dependency' accordingly so the limit lands on coordination specifically.
Restate leg (iii) using SA raw 635 ('les deux premiers exemples') so the 1955 anchoring is explicit and the leg stops reading as self-dated to 1958.

If items 1-4 are applied, I would expect this to clear the 5-test gate at medium on a subsequent run — with the caveat that a reviewer may still want the 'coordinated' modality either operationalized or softened, since that is the one proposition no amount of raw-checking in the present corpus can corroborate.

Refuter (evidence-chain) — REFUTED. Paste into Counterpressure verbatim:

Evidence-chain refutation of the live -> supported promotion (consolidation 2026-07-27). Four defects, in descending severity; the first two are independently sufficient to fail Test 2.

1. The second source contributes no anchored evidence, and the bullet that stands in for it is a non sequitur. claims#mp-1955-three-coordinated-mutations Evidence bullet 4 (merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity) carries no locator of any kind — no page, no raw line, no extraction-note anchor — while every other bullet carries SA-2006 raw lines. Its content is also not evidence for the thesis: it asserts contemporaneity ("the institution course (1954–55) operates within the same 1955 register… the same period of MP's working life… share the moment"), and the institution-concept is not one of the three mutations. Contemporaneity cannot warrant "coordinated (not coincidental)"; a claim whose distinctive word is coordinated cannot rest its second leg on same-period-ness. Test 2 requires every bullet to point to a verified anchor; this one points to none, so the Sources: field's second entry is decorative and the entry is, at the moment of promotion, single-source — exactly what its own Counterpressure bullet 1 concedes.

2. The claim disclaims a raw verification that the corpus makes available and that was never performed. Counterpressure bullet 2 states that "'priorité ontologique' appears in the PbPassiv course (published in Résumés de cours but the original course materials require BNF access)" and that "Saint Aubert's archival anchors are not in raw/; the mutations claim can be cited but not independently verified within the audit." That is false for the claim's central mutation (i). The Problème de la passivité feuillets Saint Aubert quotes at raw 627 / 631 / 633 are printed in English in the corpus at raw/institution-and-passivity-course-notes-from-the-college-de-france-1954-1955.md lines 2332–2334 ("What I proposed [is] different from Ruyer; what Lachièze-Rey does not see is [the] ontological priority of the perceived world (and the phenomenal body), i.e., all being that has a meaning for us is to be conceived on the basis of the perceived world…") and line 2354 ("Ontological priority of the perceived: it is not a matter of reducing all being to a 'sector' of this being—the 'psychical'… This would be anthropomorphism"), under the editorial heading "[FOR AN ONTOLOGY OF THE PERCEIVED WORLD]" (lines 2424, 4049; TOC line 127). wiki/sources/.extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md line 263 already registers the anchor "218: 'the ontological priority of the perceived world'", and line 345 records the theme as recurring "in the Passivity Intro against Alquié and Lachièze-Rey." The General Rule 18 targeted raw check that a supported promotion presupposes was therefore never done, and supported would ratify a false statement about the corpus inside the entry itself.

3. Evidence bullet 1's locator and its quotations do not match, and two of the three quotations do different work in their local context. The bullet is labelled "Ch. I §1c, raw lines 623–664 … Anchor: extraction-note Pass 2a Argument 2," but two of its three quotations sit at raw 667 and raw 681 — outside that range and inside Ch. I §2 ("Un tournant anti-anthropologique ?", which begins at raw 665). The extraction note itself assigns both to a different argument: .extraction-saintaubert-2006-vers-une-ontologie-indirecte.md line 121 says of exactly these two quotes "both anchor argument 3," and Argument 3 (extraction note line 14) is the anthropologisme ≠ anthropologie claim located at "Ch. I §2 (lines 665–696)" — not the three-mutations Argument 2 (line 12). Locally they also perform different work: raw 667 introduces "Tous nos concepts sont anthropocentriques" inside Saint Aubert's argument that MP's anti-anthropological protestations "ne peuvent être réduites à la dénégation maladroite d'un philosophe mal compris" and were "anticipées par la Phénoménologie de la perception" (raw 667) — i.e. it complicates the anti-anthropological register that mutation (iii) is supposed to name — and raw 681 is a 1958 note answering the objection that MP merely transposes Brunschvicg from thinking to perceiving subject. Neither is a 1955 item and neither attests a terminological mutation. Under Test 2's rider ("characterizations of argumentative function… must each be anchored in passages that warrant them"), the bullet's headline characterization — "The cardinal terminological mutations of 1955:" — is not warranted by two of the three passages it offers.

4. A graded source is cited as flat. The Claim asserts "All three are explicit responses to Lachièze-Rey's Aristotelian-finalist-pantheist reading and to Alquié's Fontaine … article." Saint Aubert grades them. Only mutation (i) is "directement introduite dans le contexte de réaction aux lectures d'Alquié et Lachièze-Rey" (raw 625). Mutation (ii) — the 1955 résumé's "ontologie du monde perçu" — is introduced by "une réaction implicite aux critiques d'Alquié et de Lachièze-Rey" (raw 617). Mutation (iii) "provient donc en bonne part… du souci de ne plus s'y laisser enfermer par les autres" (raw 635), and Saint Aubert immediately adds that "ce contexte ne suffit pas à l'interprétation" (raw 661) and that the remarks go "au-delà de leur terreau protestataire initial" (raw 689). Relatedly, the Claim dates mutation (iii) to "notes from late 1958 through March 1961," whereas raw 635 says the two 1955 priorité ontologique passages "en constituent, chronologiquement, les deux premiers exemples" — so as worded the claim places its third mutation outside the 1955 year whose cardinality is the thesis, and the 1955 passages that would put it inside (raw 631, 633) are quoted in no Evidence bullet.

Defects 1 and 2 are the blocking ones: the entry's second source is unanchored and its Counterpressure misdescribes what is verifiable in raw/. Until Evidence bullet 4 cites the I&P feuillets (raw lines 2332–2334 / 2354, extraction-note 218) and Counterpressure bullet 2 is corrected, the promotion to supported is not carried by the anchors as written.

Refuter (rival-reading) — REFUTED. Paste into Counterpressure verbatim:

(Rival-reading refutation, consolidation 2026-07-27 — blocks live -> supported.) Three rivals are live against claims#mp-1955-three-coordinated-mutations and none is defeated by the entry's present Counterpressure.

(R1) Saint Aubert's own text says "coïncident," and frames 1955 as a transition, not a cardinal re-dating. The Claim field's distinctive contrastive — "three coordinated (not coincidental) terminological mutations" — is the wiki's gloss, not the source's. At raw/Vers une ontologie indirecte - Emmanuel de Saint Aubert.md line 635 SA writes: "La réécriture, en 1955, du primat de la perception en priorité ontologique, et la première déclaration d'une ontologie – ontologie du monde perçu –, coïncident ainsi avec la naissance d'un troisième élément." At raw 625 he calls the course "une étape symbolique," with "priorité ontologique du monde perçu" "faisant transition entre le 'primat de la perception' de 1946 et la 'réhabilitation ontologique du sensible' du Philosophe et son ombre (achevé fin 1958)," and his section heading is "Conséquences : trois mutations terminologiques significatives" (raw 623) — three consequences of one reactive posture, sequenced between 1946 and 1958. The deflationary rival — one vocabulary shift showing three faces at a way-station, with the real emergence spread 1946→1953→1955→1958 — explains every cited passage at least as well, and is the reading SA's own lexeme and periodization supply. Counterpressure bullet 1 names this rival ("stages of a single drift rather than three coordinated moves") but answers nothing; a named-and-unanswered rival is exactly what 5-test Test 5 fails. It also directly deflates the Payoff field's re-dating ("re-dates the emergence of MP's late ontology to 1955"): first naming is not emergence, and SA presents the 1957 Nature course and end-1958 Philosophe et son ombre as the continuing arc, not as errors he is correcting.

(R2) The chronology the claim asserts is unattested, and partly reversed. The Claim field says all three mutations "are explicit responses to Lachièze-Rey's Aristotelian-finalist-pantheist reading and to Alquié's Fontaine 'philosophie de l'ambiguïté' article," dating the objections to "1948–49" (repeated in Evidence bullet 3 as "Lachièze-Rey 1948–55; Alquié Fontaine 1948–49"). Both dates fail against the source. (a) SA's bibliography (raw 1708) and footnote 28 (raw 2140) date the Alquié article 1947 — Fontaine, t. XI, n° 59, 1947, pp. 47–70. (b) For Lachièze-Rey, SA cites no publication at all: he hedges in the conditional — "Selon Merleau-Ponty, Lachièze-Rey lui aurait reproché un finalisme aristotélicien, voire un panthéisme" (raw 611) — and footnotes 25–27 (raw 2128, 2132, 2136) anchor the reproach solely in MP's own notes: MSME [25], [210] (1953), PbPassiv [216]/[201]/[117] (1955), Notes sur le corps [29]v (early 1960). The wiki's own artifacts already disagree: the extraction note's entity list (wiki/sources/.extraction-saintaubert-2006-vers-une-ontologie-indirecte.md line 239) dates him "1955-1960 Aristotelian-finalist accuser of MP," i.e. contemporaneous with or later than the mutation the claim says answers him. The rival is therefore not exotic: the Lachièze-Rey "objection" is a figure MP constructs inside the 1953 and 1955 course notes, so the mutation and the objection are co-produced in the same documents and the claimed direction ("1955 mutations respond to 1948–49 objections") is not established by any anchor in the entry. Additionally, the Claim field itself dates mutation (iii) to "notes from late 1958 through March 1961," whereas SA locates its birth in the 1955 passages just quoted ("Les passages que nous venons de citer en constituent, chronologiquement, les deux premiers exemples," raw 635) and only the litany at "fin 1958 à mars 1961" — so as worded the entry places one of its three "1955" mutations outside 1955, which is itself the drift rival in miniature.

(R3) SA's stated proximate cause is internal, and conjoins the 1946 critics the claim drops. The opening sentence of the very section the claim rests on (raw 625) reads: "Le cours de 1955, en tentant de comprendre les interprétations d'Alquié et de Lachièze-Rey, rejoint l'analyse du cours de 1953 sur celles de Beaufret et Hyppolite : bien qu'aberrantes aux yeux de Merleau-Ponty, ces objections lui montrent combien la démarche de la Phénoménologie de la perception restait trop réactive et négative, et combien il est urgent d'élaborer enfin pour elle-même ce que le résumé officiel de 1955 nomme, pour la première fois, une 'ontologie du monde perçu'." SA's causal story is an internal self-correction (PhP too reactive/negative; the need to elaborate positively for itself), running continuously from the 1946 SFP exchange through the 1953 MSME course — whose explicit addressees are Hyppolite and Beaufret, not Lachièze-Rey and Alquié — with the four critics as occasions that reveal an already-registered insufficiency. The claim's "all three are explicit responses to Lachièze-Rey ... and to Alquié" drops half of the tableau its own Evidence bullet 3 reproduces, and competes with the wiki's 1953-anchored sibling readings.

Until Counterpressure engages (R1) SA's "coïncident"/"étape symbolique"/transition wording, (R2) the 1947 Alquié dating plus the absence of any dated Lachièze-Rey publication (with the extraction note's own "1955-1960" gloss reconciled), and (R3) the internal-development/four-critic causal alternative — and until the Claim field's "1948–49" and its 1958–61 placement of mutation (iii) are brought into line with the anchors — the medium confidence does not survive restatement and the entry stays at live.

Refuter (scope) — REFUTED. Paste into Counterpressure verbatim:

(2026-07-27 consolidation supported-gate, scope refuter — promotion to supported blocked.) As worded, the entry overshoots its single source on three axes, and the overshoot is load-bearing for the claim's title, its coordination thesis, and its payoff.

(a) "All three are explicit responses" flattens Saint Aubert's own graded hedges. SA distinguishes the three mutations precisely by how they relate to the two objections. Only mutation (i) is described as direct: "La nouvelle formule est directement introduite dans le contexte de réaction aux lectures d'Alquié et Lachièze-Rey" (raw/Vers une ontologie indirecte - Emmanuel de Saint Aubert.md line 625) — and even there, the quoted 1955 note that Evidence bullets 1–2 rest on names only Lachièze-Rey (and Ruyer), not Alquié (raw line 627). Mutation (ii) is explicitly the opposite: "Le résumé officiel de ce cours s'ouvre lui-même par une réaction implicite aux critiques d'Alquié et de Lachièze-Rey" (raw line 617). And for mutation (iii), SA expressly refuses the reduction the claim performs: "ce contexte ne suffit pas à l'interprétation" (raw line 661); "Bien qu'encombrées par les objections de la fin des années quarante, ces protestations récurrentes ne peuvent être réduites à la dénégation maladroite d'un philosophe mal compris. En réalité, elles sont anticipées par la Phénoménologie de la perception" (raw line 667); "au-delà de leur terreau protestataire initial" (raw line 689). A hedged and a disclaimed relation are being cited as if flat and uniform. The claim is defensible only under a narrowing — "one directly, one implicitly, one with a protest-soil SA says is not reducible to it" — that the entry does not state.

(b) The 1955 headline equivocates with the entry's own dating of mutation (iii). The Claim asserts "In 1955 MP produces three coordinated ... mutations" while its own item (iii) is parenthetically dated "notes from late 1958 through March 1961" — outside 1955. SA's text actually says the third element is born with the 1955 rewriting, its first two chronological instances being the PbPassiv passages just quoted ("La réécriture, en 1955 ... coïncident ainsi avec la naissance d'un troisième élément ... Les passages que nous venons de citer en constituent, chronologiquement, les deux premiers exemples", raw line 635), with the 1958–61 items being the later litanie ("échelonnés de fin 1958 à mars 1961", same line). The register entry states neither half of that distinction; its Counterpressure bullet 2 touches 1958–61 only as an archival-access limit, never as a dating-scope problem. Downstream, both Wiki homes restate the flat version with the 1958–61 hedge dropped — institution, claims-bullet for mp-1955-three-coordinated-mutations ("in 1955 MP produces three coordinated terminological mutations ... and the protest ..."), and indirect-ontology, claims-bullet for the same slug ("(iii) the protest ... enters MP's litany") — so the homes assert a stronger proposition than the register carries. A supported status licenses exactly that unqualified downstream use.

(c) The corrective target and the "dominates secondary literature" quantifier are not the source's. The Claim closes: "The standard reading that dates MP's late ontology to the 1957 Nature course alone misses the 1955 cardinal year", and the Payoff asserts "the 1957 Nature-course dating that dominates secondary literature." SA's Introduction says the opposite on both counts: he concedes the 1957 systematization in his own voice — "La qualification du projet merleau-pontien comme 'ontologie' ne devient systématique qu'à partir de 1957, avec les premiers cours au Collège de France sur le concept de Nature" — and locates his corrective at 1946, not 1955: "Merleau-Ponty revendique régulièrement le statut ontologique de sa réflexion depuis 1946" (raw line 531); the thesis he announces he is testing is "la thèse d'un tournant des années 1958-1959" (raw line 533). Nor does SA call 1955 cardinal: the PbPassiv course "marque ainsi une étape symbolique, cette 'priorité ontologique du monde perçu' faisant transition entre le 'primat de la perception' de 1946 et la 'réhabilitation ontologique du sensible' du Philosophe et son ombre (achevé fin 1958)" (raw line 625) — a transition-marker inside a 1946→1958 arc, not an emergence-date. The entry's Counterpressure bullet 3 half-registers the problem ("not unanimously dominant") but then supports it with an attribution — "Lefort's editorial work on MP places the late ontology emergence in 1957" — for which no anchor exists in raw/ or wiki/sources/: all nine 'Lefort' occurrences in the raw are sigla/bibliography or a BNF-donation attribution except raw line 997, where Lefort is named as a contester of the Heidegger-influence reading, not as a 1957-dater. A claim about the state of the secondary literature ("dominates") is thus asserted with no survey anchor and against its sole source's own periodization.

Net: (a) and (c) are scope defects in the Claim's own sentences, not in its evidence bullets; (b) is an internal equivocation the Wiki homes have already amplified. The narrowed claim SA does warrant — the 1955 PbPassiv course is the transition-stage at which "primat de la perception" is respecified as "priorité ontologique," the résumé officiel supplies the first declared name "ontologie du monde perçu," and the anti-anthropologie protest takes its first two attested forms, all within SA's 1946-onward reactive arc against the Lachièze-Rey/Alquié objections — is a different and weaker proposition than the one on the register. Hold at live until the Claim is restated within that scope and the two Wiki-home restatements are brought into line.

Absence claims to re-verify (grep before relying):

(c3ver) Evidence bullet 4 contains no inline page/section locator and no quotation — asserted after reading the full Evidence section of the entry in wiki/claims.md; the bullet's entire text is reproduced in my finding.
(c3ver) Saint Aubert's raw text nowhere dates Alquié's Fontaine article to 1948–49. I grepped the full raw file for "Fontaine" with no head limit: exactly three occurrences (lines 611, 1708, 2140). Line 611 is the prose mention (undated in-line); lines 1708 (bibliography) and 2140 (footnote 28) both give 1947. So the 1948–49 dating has no support anywhere in the raw source. Caveat: I did not exhaustively enumerate every "Alquié"/"Lachièze" occurrence (that grep was head-limited to 12 results), so a stray alternative dating elsewhere in the book is not strictly excluded — but the note attached to the cited sentence is the decisive locus and it says 1947.
(c3ver) The mentions of Alquié/Lachièze-Rey at lines 301 (## Entities) and 345 (## Diagnostics Pass 3) of .extraction-merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity.md are NOT in an authorized anchor section — asserted after grepping that file's H2 headings (Arguments 8 / Conceptual Apparatus 80 / Evidence 145 / Recurring Motifs 201 / Entities 278 / Diagnostics 305 / Coverage 358) and mapping each hit's line number to its section. The valid anchors I did credit (lines 12 and 263) fall inside Arguments (Pass 2a) and Recurring Motifs respectively.
(c3ver) No fabrication of the Faul class was found: both cited works have source pages, extraction notes, and (for Saint Aubert) a raw file at raw/Vers une ontologie indirecte - Emmanuel de Saint Aubert.md; every quoted string in bullets 1–3 was located verbatim at its cited raw line. Institution and Passivity has no raw/ file, but has both a source page and an extraction note, satisfying anchor classes 1 and 2.
(c3rev) Saint Aubert 2006 nowhere dates a Lachièze-Rey PUBLICATION: I grepped every 'Lachièze' occurrence in raw/Vers une ontologie indirecte - Emmanuel de Saint Aubert.md (lines 53, 601, 603, 611, 617, 621, 625, 627, 703, 2128, 2132, 2144, 2156, 3352, 4622) and found no bibliography entry and no dated publication reference; the Lachièze-Rey anchors are MP's own course notes only (fn 25 raw 2128, fn 26 raw 2132, fn 27 raw 2136). Hence 'Lachièze-Rey 1948-55' in Evidence bullet 3 is unanchored. NOTE: the I&P volume does cite Lachièze-Rey publications (raw/institution-and-passivity... lines 3945, 4856: L'idéalisme kantien 1932; Le moi, le monde, et Dieu 1938/1950) — none matching a 1948-55 range.
(c3rev) Evidence bullet 4 of claims#mp-1955-three-coordinated-mutations contains no locator of any kind — no page, folio, raw line, or extraction-note reference. Read in full; the bullet is entirely periodization prose.
(c3rev) The 1958-61 'litany' fragments Saint Aubert quotes at raw 637-659 do not themselves name Lachièze-Rey or Alquié. I read all thirteen quoted fragments in that range; the critical context is supplied by Saint Aubert's framing prose at raw 635 and 661, not by the quoted MP text. This bears on the claim's universal 'All three are explicit responses to...'.
(c3rev) NOT asserted as absent (flagged as unverified rather than checked): Counterpressure bullet 1's statement that 'the wiki has no other secondary source that articulates the exact triad'. I did not run an exhaustive sweep of the secondary corpus and take no position on it.
(c3ref:evidence-chain) Evidence bullet 4 (merleau-ponty-2010-institution-and-passivity) of claims#mp-1955-three-coordinated-mutations contains no passage locator of any kind — no page, no raw line, no extraction-note anchor. Verified by reading the whole entry; the other three bullets all carry SA-2006 raw-line locators.
(c3ref:evidence-chain) No Evidence bullet in the entry cites the I&P primary text (raw/institution-and-passivity-course-notes-from-the-college-de-france-1954-1955.md) or the I&P extraction note's 218 anchor. Verified by reading all four bullets.
(c3ref:evidence-chain) Raw lines 667 and 681 of raw/Vers une ontologie indirecte fall OUTSIDE the range 623–664 that Evidence bullet 1 states as its locator, and outside Ch. I §1c: §1c runs 623–664 and §2 ('Un tournant anti-anthropologique ?') begins at line 665. Verified by reading raw 620–690.
(c3ref:rival-reading) Saint Aubert 2006 cites NO published Lachièze-Rey text for the Aristotelian-finalist/pantheist reproach. I checked every 'Lachièze' occurrence in raw/Vers une ontologie indirecte - Emmanuel de Saint Aubert.md (lines 53, 601, 603, 611, 617, 621, 625, 627, 2128, 2132, 2144, 4622) and the corresponding footnotes 25–27 (raw 2128, 2132, 2136): the reproach is attested only through MP's own course notes (MSME [25], [210] = 1953; PbPassiv [216]/[201]/[117] = 1955; N-Corps [29]v = early 1960), and there is no bibliography entry for Lachièze-Rey (the bibliography region at raw 1708 carries the Alquié entry).
(c3ref:rival-reading) The dating '1948–49' for the Alquié Fontaine article appears nowhere in raw/Vers une ontologie indirecte; SA dates it 1947 twice (raw 1708 bibliography; raw 2140 footnote 28). The only 1948-49 Alquié item SA cites is the separate La nostalgie de l'être, 1950.
(c3ref:rival-reading) No raw source in the corpus attests a datable 1948–49 Lachièze-Rey objection to the Phénoménologie de la perception. I checked the Lachièze-Rey occurrences in raw/datalab-output-Conférences en Amérique ... Inédits II (1947-1949) (lines 1465, 8461, 12481) and the Inédits I file's hits: these are MP's correspondence with L-R and MP's citations of L'Idéalisme kantien, not a critique of MP.
(c3ref:rival-reading) The claim entry's Counterpressure field (three bullets: single-source dependency; unpublished-notes anchoring; the 1957/1959 dating alternatives) contains no bullet addressing SA's own 'coïncident' / 'étape symbolique' / 'faisant transition' framing, the 1947 Alquié dating, or SA's conjunction of the 1946 (Hyppolite/Beaufret) critics with the 1955 pair.
(c3ref:scope) No passage in raw/Vers une ontologie indirecte (Saint Aubert 2006) or in wiki/sources/saintaubert-2006-vers-une-ontologie-indirecte.md anchors the Counterpressure's attribution 'Lefort's editorial work on MP places the late ontology emergence in 1957'. I grepped all nine 'Lefort' occurrences in the raw (lines 179, 303, 305, 361, 365, 997, 1910, 3380, 4580): the 179/303/305/361/365 cluster is the abbreviations-and-sigla apparatus, the source-page mention is a BNF-donation attribution (source page lines 781–785), and the one substantive occurrence, raw line 997, names Lefort as a contester of the Heidegger-influence reading of the late ontology, not as a 1957-dater.
(c3ref:scope) No passage in the cited SA sections (raw 529–537 Introduction; raw 601–695 Ch. I §1b–§2) characterizes a 1957-Nature-course dating as the dominant secondary-literature reading of when MP's late ontology emerges. Raw 531 concedes the 1957 systematization in SA's own voice and raw 533 names 'la thèse d'un tournant des années 1958-1959' as the thesis SA puts to the test. I read both passages in full and grepped the raw for '1957' (30 hits reviewed: bibliographic/sigla entries plus raw 679's 'se renforce durant la première année de cours sur le concept de Nature (1957)').
(c3ref:scope) Neither the claim's Evidence bullets, the extraction note (Pass 2a args 1–2, Pass 2b 'priorité ontologique du monde perçu', Pass 2c quotes, Pass 3 Part D seed at line 316), nor the raw supplies an anchor showing the 'ontologie du monde perçu' naming to be an explicit response to Alquié and Lachièze-Rey; raw 617 states in SA's own words that the résumé officiel's reaction is 'implicite'. I checked the extraction note and grepped 'ontologie du monde perçu' repo-wide (7 files) before asserting this.
