Tier 2 re-anchor weight-shift table: 1 weight-shift confirmed (V&I initiation is now a fully-tracked HUB-tier through the matrix-cluster motif post-Décarie-Daigneault 2024 and Knight 2024 additions; status quo otherwise). Details below.

Cross-reference to Phase 3 motif report: texture (MP 1992 T&D), Stimmung (H&T), signification (SB 1942), Versäumnis (Heidegger N I), Vollendung-cluster motif (Heidegger N I + N II + EoP) all surface as candidates for motifs.md promotion. See motifs-delta-2026-05-05.md §"New 2+-source motifs."

Tier 1 — Silent-key candidates per source

Each source: up to 3 PASS candidates (per protocol), with verdict, attestation count, work-test (would the argument hold if removed?), motif-tracker check, primary-concepts check, recommended action.

saintaubert-2023-etre-et-chair

Tracker (Recurring Motifs): portance, chair-être three-term, incorporels/figuratifs, depth, silence, ambivalence/ambiguité, misreading/contresens, Sartre-as-photographic-negative, incarnation-vs-animation, chair-as-style, ek-stase, désir+foi, ultra-choses, inconscient-corps-être, omnitenens, anti-théologie-explicative, éléments. Primary concepts: portance, ontologie de la chair as MISLEADING, three-term dramaturgy, omnitenens/omnipotens, figuratifs as incorporels, misreadings typology.

# Candidate Attestations In tracker? In primary? Verdict Work-test
1 portance commune (raw 479) 1 named occurrence NO NO (sub-anchor only) PASS Bridge between reliant gesture and "être nous fait humains" thesis; without it the third-included fails to do anthropological work.
2 important sans portance (raw 497) 1 attestation NO NO (sub-anchor only) PASS Converts theological critique into positive characterization of portance; failure-mode of survol-being.
3 ouvré / ouvrer (raw 533) 1 attestation NO NO PASS Old French verb grounds the ouverture / œuvre / ouvrer etymological cluster; without it the figurative move from "ouverture" to "œuvre" is unmotivated; underwrites the late-MP-via-Saint-Aubert formula for chair's double travail (transitive + immanent).

Recommended action: subsection on [[portance]] (already includes omnitenens; needs the etymological-pun subsection for ouvré et œuvre and a portance-commune sub-anchor). Cross-reference to motifs delta: important sans portance is already a sub-anchor on the existing portance motifs.md entry; the silent key is verified, not promoting.

heidegger-1961-nietzsche-i

Tracker: Vollendung, Auseinandersetzung, Leitfrage/Grundfrage, Augenblick, Beständigkeit/Anwesenheit/Beständigung, Umkehrung/Umdrehung, Großer Stil, Rausch, Erregender Zwiespalt, Gerechtigkeit, Schematisieren, Andrang/Chaos, Vermenschlichung, Tod Gottes, Götzen-Dämmerung, das Nichts, Hölderlin. Primary concepts: Vollendung der Metaphysik, Beständigung des Werdens, Auseinandersetzung, Leitfrage vs. Grundfrage, Metaphysische Grundstellung, Augenblick, Erregender Zwiespalt, Umdrehung/Herausdrehung, Großer Stil, Rausch, Beweis, Gerechtigkeit, dichtendes Wesen der Vernunft, Schematisieren eines Chaos, Vermenschlichung.

# Candidate Attestations In tracker? In primary? Verdict Work-test
1 Verschattung / Schatten (overshadowing) 2 (raw 5022, 5031) — closing climax NO NO PASS Closing climax — bears the entire weight of the link between Nietzsche's Vollendung and the Seinsverlassenheit that opens the anderer Anfang. Hölderlin's "heiligem Schatten" makes it sacral. Without it Heidegger's claim that Vollendung is itself a withdrawal of Being would have no anchor.
2 Versäumnis (omission, neglect) 1 (raw 1526) NO NO PASS Carries the entire weight of the claim that Nietzsche's "failure" to ask the Wesen der Wahrheit is the failure of all Western metaphysics. Without this term, the indictment would aim at Nietzsche personally; with it, it is structural.
3 Fraglosigkeit (unquestionedness) 1 (raw 5016) NO NO PASS Names the peculiar form Nietzsche's completion takes: saving the Greek determination of Being into a state where it can no longer be questioned. The Vollendung is dangerous because it makes the Greek determination invisible-as-question.

Recommended action: Subsection on the source page's "What's Not Obvious" + subsection on [[martin-heidegger]] entity page (Seinsverlassenheit register). Versäumnis deserves typed-connection upgrade between Nietzsche source page and Heidegger's reading of Western metaphysics. Cross-reference to motifs delta: Vollendung itself is now a corpus-level cluster motif (Heidegger N I + N II + EoP all weight-bearing); see motif-delta entry.

heidegger-1961-nietzsche-ii

Tracker: Ausbleiben/Entzug/Seinsverlassenheit, Vollendung, Vorgestelltheit, ἰδέα→actualitas→Wert genealogy, Mäßigung vs Anmaßung, eigentlich/uneigentlich Nihilismus, Versprechen/Geheimnis, "ohne es zu wissen"/ungedacht. Primary concepts: Subiectität vs. Subjektivität, Ausbleiben des Seins, Entgegendenken, Versprechen des Seins, Werkheit (vs. Wirklichkeit), Mäßigung vs. Anmaßung, Gerechtigkeit als Denkweise, cogito me cogitare, Erinnerung.

# Candidate Attestations In tracker? In primary? Verdict Work-test
1 Sinnlosigkeit / Sinngebung (meaninglessness / meaning-giving) ≥2 (V line 303 + IV.4-5) NO NO PASS Names the experiential register of the diagnosis (consequence of Vollendung for human experience) as distinct from nihilism per se (its Seinsgeschichte). If removed, the experiential face of the diagnosis disappears.
2 Machenschaft (machination) Endpoints of genealogies (V final + IX schema) NO NO PASS Names the mode of Being in the completed epoch — distinct from any single metaphysical position. Carries the weight of "how Being releases beings into manipulability." Positionally decisive even though it appears at endpoints.
3 Werkheit (vs. Wirklichkeit) VIII (single section but multiple uses) NO YES (primary) REJECTED — actually listed under primary concepts.

Reconsidered #3: eigentlicher Nihilismus as load-bearing despite being in tracker — kept tracker-listing → REJECTED for silent-key status.

New #3 candidate: Geheimnis (mystery) — Heidegger uses paired with Versprechen (line 2622): "Die Metaphysik ist als Metaphysik der eigentliche Nihilismus" → "die Geschichte des Geheimnisses des Versprechens des Seins selbst" — Geheimnis is partly tracked under Versprechen but does its own work as the concealment-form of the promise.

# Candidate (revised) Attestations In tracker? In primary? Verdict Work-test
3 Geheimnis (mystery, paired with Versprechen) 2+ (line 2622, line 2604) Partial (sub-anchor in Versprechen) NO PASS Names the concealment-form of the promise (versus Versprechen which is its disclosive form). Without Geheimnis, the positive thesis collapses into a pointing-gesture without ontological structure.

Recommended action:

  • Sinnlosigkeit: Subsection on [[vollendung-der-metaphysik]] page (the experiential face).
  • Machenschaft: Promote to dedicated concept page ([[machenschaft]]) — the wiki has no current page; given its presence in Beiträge + Nietzsche II + End of Philosophy it warrants one. (Note: motifs.md line 199 references [[machenschaft]] as if it exists; lint cross-check needed.)
  • Geheimnis: subsection on [[versprechen-des-seins]] (if it exists) or under [[unthought]] cross-source register.

heidegger-1964-end-of-philosophy

Tracker: Lichtung, Aletheia/Unverborgenheit, Lethe/Verbergung, Vollendung der Metaphysik (1964 cybernetic specification), Kybernetik, Sache, Wegweiser, Stille/Stimme, Preparatory thinking, Es gibt, Bestimmung/Be-Stimmung, An-Fang/Anfang. (Tracker is unusually dense; primary concepts overlap heavily.)

# Candidate Attestations In tracker? In primary? Verdict Work-test
1 Preisgabe (giving-over, surrender) 1 (closing sentence p. 90) NO NO PASS Names the modal character of the post-philosophical task. Not Aufhebung, not Überwindung, not Verlassen — Preisgabe with overtones of "exposing-at-one's-own-risk." The whole positive content of Section 2 is gathered in this verbal noun.
2 Bodenlos (groundless) 2 (p. 85, p. 89) NO NO PASS Binds two pivotal points: Verbindlichkeit/Unverbindlichkeit (without prior Aletheia experience) and Rationalismus/Irrationalismus (without questioning Ratio). What looks like contestable opposition is grounded only in what philosophy has not yet thought.
3 Wegirren (to stray, err on the way) 1 (footnote p. 87) NO NO PASS Operative term of the entire SuZ self-correction. Names what Heidegger himself did in SuZ p. 219 (translating Aletheia as Wahrheit) and what philosophy did since Plato. Without it the self-correction would be defensive (excusing past errors) rather than structural (naming how thinking can miss what an Einblick has shown).

Recommended action: Subsection on a future [[aletheia]] page (Wegirren — the operative term of the SuZ self-correction); typed-connection upgrades on [[end-of-philosophy]] and a future [[task-of-thinking]] page (Preisgabe, Bodenlos).

merleau-ponty-1992-texts-and-dialogues

Tracker: brute being, ontology of object, pensée de survol, cogito-as-secondary, body-as-origin, engagement, truth-as-not-coin, lateral universal, nascent state, Vorhabe/sedimentation, other-as-second-person, image/imagination, Husserl-as-precursor, crisis/ruins of thought, anti-reductive method, fetish/qualitative texture.

# Candidate Attestations In tracker? In primary? Verdict Work-test
1 texture (qualitative-figural register) 3 (Chapsal 1960; Five Notes #5 1960 raw line 167; Tilliette 1957–58 raw line 188) NO NO PASS Names the qualitative-figural register of brute-being — neither pure presence nor pure structure. Without texture the brute-being is reducible to either "wild presence" or "wild structure"; the qualitative dimension drops out. The Tilliette + Chapsal + Five Notes #5 attestations across three formats confirm cross-document load-bearing.
2 rhythm (temporal-formal alternation of action) 3 (Christianity 1935 "rhythm of ressentiment"; Founders 1956; Chapsal 1960 implicit in yes/no) NO NO PASS Makes the yes/no alternation of action temporal-formal, not propositional. Without it the writer's-rhythm-vs-politician's-rhythm at Chapsal 1960 has no formal name; the 1935 anti-reductive method's rhythm of ressentiment also loses formal articulation.
3 concrete (methodological category of what-eludes-formal-abstraction) 5+ (Crisis 1946 p. 38; East-West 1956 p. 53; L'Express 1955 p. 47; Apology 1947 p. 144; Five Notes #4 1960 p. 166) NO NO NEAR-MISS High frequency (5+) and methodologically central, but it is already implicit across MP's method-pages on the wiki (PhP, V&I working notes); the silent-key gate prefers terms that are under-tracked. The cross-document attestation makes it borderline.

Recommended action:

  • texture: Add to motifs.md as STRUCTURAL motif (cross-document, with the late-MP qualitative register). Currently absorbed under grain-du-sensible / texture-imaginaire-du-reel; deserves explicit cross-source recurrence note.
  • rhythm: Typed-connection upgrade on [[action-of-unveiling-vs-action-of-governing]] and [[freud-without-demonology]] (1935-1956 anti-reductive register).
  • concrete: Defer for next audit; reasoning recorded.

chouraqui-2025-healing-schneider

Tracker: "healing Schneider" project name, subjective/objective unification, Trotsky's horse, play/non-seriousness/higher-seriousness, recognition+institution, "I can" vs "there is", Yogi/Commissar/Trotsky, sedimentation, adversity/indeterminacy, existence vs being/humanism, prospective activity of consciousness, sense vs respect, Schneider as paradigm.

# Candidate Attestations In tracker? In primary? Verdict Work-test
1 compensation / substitution 3–4 in §2.1 ([1] p. 110, [2] p. 138) NO NO PASS Load-bearing for the entire non-ableist account. Without compensation/substitution, the immanent-pathology argument collapses into either external comparison (objectivism) or pure difference (relativism). Schneider's pathology is contradictory only because his compensations testify to something he cannot abandon.
2 equivocity (of being) / ambiguity-as-ontological-irreducibility Several in §4 NO NO PASS The meta-ethical move in §4 — what allows MP's ontology to ground normativity without univocity (and so without theodicy). Used few times but absolutely critical to the meta-ethical defense (criterion 3: selectiveness without dogma).
3 hermeneutic freedom (chief practical virtue) §3.1 + §3.2 + §4 NO NO PASS Names the virtue at the center of MP's ethics. Bridges hermeneutic ontology (§3.1) and play (§3.2). Used few times but does enormous structural work.

Recommended action:

  • compensation: subsection on [[schneider-case]] (new normative-reading section).
  • equivocity: subsection on a new [[prospective-activity-of-consciousness]] page; cross-link to [[good-ambiguity]].
  • hermeneutic freedom: subsection on a new [[recognition-and-institution]] page; cross-link from a future [[play-as-political-virtue]] page.

merleau-ponty-2022-inedits-i-1946-1947

Tracker: Reprise (HUB), Pente de l'histoire (HUB), Apprendre à lire (HUB), Logique de fait (HUB), Sirius point of view (STRUCTURAL), Procès de Moscou/Roubachof/Koestler, Être/faire/morale-politique, Homme en porte-à-faux, Yogi/Commissaire, Mission historique du prolétariat, Strabisme/ambiguïté consciente, Coexistence (HUB), Faire-être/faire-exister (HUB-Liberté), En aucun cas, Reprise révolutionnaire, Lateness/secondarity.

# Candidate Attestations In tracker? In primary? Verdict Work-test
1 faire-être (vs. Sartre's faire-exister) Sparingly in Liberté/Leibniz course YES (in tracker) NO REJECTED — listed in tracker as HUB-Liberté.
2 bienfaisance (act of making good be as good) 1–2 in Liberté/Leibniz NO NO PASS Carries the moral dimension of MP's existentialism that the political vocabulary leaves implicit. Without it, the Liberté/Leibniz course's specifically moral coloring (which the editor highlights as distinct from Sartre's political coloring) disappears.
3 naturé-naturant (human condition as natured-naturing) 1 (lettre à Élisabeth note p. 319) NO NO PASS Spinozist couple repurposed to name the condition requiring the third conception of liberty. If removed, MP's third-conception argument has no name; he falls back into either-Cartesian-or-Spinozist.

New #1 candidate (replacing rejected faire-être):

# Candidate Attestations In tracker? In primary? Verdict Work-test
1 Sirius point of view / vue de survol 3 (L'individu p. 195; Aspects p. 212; Liberté p. 311) YES (in tracker) NO REJECTED — actually in tracker as STRUCTURAL.
1' strabisme (Gide-specific, Wahl-derived) 2 (De Gide à Sartre pp. 277-279) YES (Strabisme/ambiguïté consciente in tracker) NO REJECTED
1'' transcendance verticale → horizontale (1945 letter Maldiney→MP gloss) 1 (cited p. 183 editor's intro) NO NO PASS The single 1945 attestation of the figure that organizes the entire Inédits I/II political-existential trajectory. MP's own self-formulation (cited via Maldiney) of the move from the verticality of belief to the horizontality of finite political action. Without this gloss the reprise concept has no autobiographical anchor. Used positionally in the editor's introduction; not Inédits-internal but cited from MP's own letter.

Final 3 silent-key candidates: bienfaisance, naturé-naturant, transcendance verticale → horizontale.

Recommended action:

  • bienfaisance: subsection on [[conditioned-freedom]] (Liberté/Leibniz anchor).
  • naturé-naturant: subsection on [[conditioned-freedom]] or future MP-on-Spinoza page.
  • transcendance verticale → horizontale: subsection on [[reprise]] page (autobiographical-philosophical anchor).

merleau-ponty-2022-inedits-ii-1947-1949

Tracker: Logique de l'histoire/fait, Reprise/Nachvollzug, Individu de classe (HUB), Capital comme Phénoménologie de l'esprit concrète, Détour par maître et esclave, No man's land/l'expérience de l'inconnu (HUB-1949), Changement de quantité en qualité (HUB), Pensée est expression (HUB), Gestalt(ung)/situation/structure, Connaturalité/Erlebnis, Antinomies, Description vs explication, Logique titubante, Épaisseur sémantique, En aucun cas, Méditation infinie, Apprendre à percevoir, Hégélianisme français.

# Candidate Attestations In tracker? In primary? Verdict Work-test
1 L'homme constituant (vs. l'homme constitué) 1 ("Note sur Hegel et Sartre" PPH III p. 195) NO NO PASS Load-bearing for the entire 1947–49 program. Without it, MP's distinction between Hegel's Phénoménologie (truthful description of constituent activity) and Hegel's Encyclopedia (closure that hides constitution) collapses; the same critique cannot be applied to Sartre's prose-primacy thesis.
2 L'expérience de l'Inconnu (NY Pensée politique p. 379) 2 in NY, never explicitly defined YES (in tracker as HUB-1949) NO REJECTED — listed in tracker.
3 Imperium (vs. impérialisme) 2 in NY (defined only by contrast, p. 379) NO NO PASS Without it, the post-1947 US economic configuration cannot be distinguished from classical 19th-century imperialism; MP's analysis collapses into orthodox-marxist categories.

New #2 candidate (replacing rejected l'expérience):

# Candidate (revised) Attestations In tracker? In primary? Verdict Work-test
2 fatum logique (vs. Strukturen en histoire) 1 (PPH p. 192: "Logique au sens d'élimination de l'impossible. Structures en histoire, non fatum logique") NO NO PASS Names what MP rejects in his positive articulation of logique de fait. Without the fatum logique foil, MP's "logic of structures-eliminating-the-impossible" loses its differential force against orthodox-marxist teleology. Used once but does positional-pivotal work.

Final 3: l'homme constituant, fatum logique, Imperium.

Recommended action:

  • l'homme constituant: subsection on [[primordial-expression]] or in source page's "What's Not Obvious."
  • fatum logique: subsection on [[logique-de-fait]] (the foil that defines the positive content).
  • Imperium: subsection on [[no-mans-land-1949]] page (the new concept page proposed in motifs.md).

merleau-ponty-1947-humanism-and-terror

Tracker: contingency of the future, objective treason/objective complicity, liberal mystification, Stimmung of revolutionary violence (single Preface), inability of liberalism to see itself, proletariat as lived universality, failure of Koestler/Rubashov as symptomatic, revolutionary honor (Bukharin-Trotsky), collaboration/Resistance as Bukharin-analogue, "all law is violence", impurity of political action, continuity Lenin→Stalin, unfinished/open character of history, Hegel's Phenomenology master-slave, the test/rendezvous with history.

# Candidate Attestations In tracker? In primary? Verdict Work-test
1 "sense" / "meaning" (le sens) of violence Recurs Ch. III + Conclusion NO (in tracker only as part of "objective treason") NO PASS Whole book turns on the difference between violence-with-a-future-of-humanism and violence-without. But MP never defines what a "sense" of violence is or what makes one violent practice "progressive." Hovers between phenomenological-meaning (Husserl/Heidegger) and Marxist-historical-direction.
2 Stimmung (atmosphere of revolutionary violence) Once explicit in Preface, then treated as if work were done YES (in tracker as STRUCTURAL) NO NEAR-MISS — listed in tracker but the load-bearing role for Ch II is not yet typed; the tracker entry is single-attestation.
3 detour (le détour) Recurring in Ch IV (Marxist Machiavellianism); in Ch III on Trotsky/Lenin/NEP NO NO PASS Names the structural difference between Marxism and pure Machiavellianism — Marxism calls a detour a detour. The whole evaluative framework rests on the distinction between naming and performing the detour.

Final 3: sense/meaning of violence, Stimmung (NEAR-MISS, recommend tracker upgrade), detour.

Recommended action:

  • sens/meaning of violence: subsection on a Marxist-Machiavellianism / dialectical-method page (NEW page recommended at motifs.md weight-shift entry; see motifs delta).
  • Stimmung (NEAR-MISS): typed-connection upgrade on the source page and on [[contingency-of-the-future]]. is the condition of intelligibility of (synchronic enabling). Cross-reference: Stimmung is also a Heideggerian inheritance — see motifs-delta-2026-05-05.md for the BRIDGE motif promotion proposal.
  • detour: subsection on [[marxist-machiavellianism]] (already a wiki page, motifs.md line 170).

merleau-ponty-2010-child-psychology-pedagogy

Tracker: Neither thing nor mind, Adultomorphism (HUB), Ambivalence as preferred to unconscious (HUB), Spontaneous structuration (HUB), Critique of Cartesianism, Hegel's surpassing-while-preserving, Concrete-mediation, Polymorphous-then-impoverished arc / polymorphism (HUB), Style (HUB), Mirror/specular image (HUB), Object's totality / pre-perspectival drawing, Rejection of causal explanation between psych and soc, Lived experience/vécu, Body inhabited by meaning, Anticipation/regression, Failure of identification as constitutive, Convergence (phenomenology and human sciences), Ultra-things/horizons, Realist thought, Magic.

The CPP extraction note lists 10 silent-key candidates (chs 1-7); not 3 per protocol. Selecting the strongest 3 per protocol that survive the tracker check:

# Candidate Attestations In tracker? In primary? Verdict Work-test
1 polymorphous / polymorphism Ch 1 §II/§VI; Ch 7 §V (line 4942 explicit) YES (HUB in tracker) NO REJECTED — listed in tracker.
2 anchorage 1 (Ch 4 §II.C, p. 218) NO NO PASS The PhP term making one of its rare Sorbonne reappearances. Single occurrence but bears the body-as-zero-point doctrine in the lecture series.
3 intentional encroachment 1 (Ch 8 §IV.B line 5940 — "as if my body and the other's form a system") NO NO PASS Silent precursor to the late "intercorporeity / chiasm." Single occurrence but argumentatively load-bearing as bridging the gestural-expression doctrine to MP's late vocabulary. Cross-reference: structural parallel to the 1948 déhiscence attestation (Inédits II Sept 1948 N.D.L.R.) — the 1949–52 intentional encroachment is the body-side anchor of what déhiscence names Hegel-side.
1' regional ontologies (Husserl, redeployed) 1 (Ch 6 line 4740) NO NO PASS Single occurrence but is MP's argument against ontological monism. If removed, the convergence-thesis (chapter 6) loses its formal differentiation from holistic phenomenology.

Final 3: anchorage, intentional encroachment, regional ontologies.

Recommended action:

  • anchorage: subsection on [[body-schema]] (Sorbonne reappearance of PhP term — strengthens the genealogical anchor).
  • intentional encroachment: subsection on [[intercorporeity]] (1949-52 anchor — cross-link to [[chiasm]] "genealogical middle term" subsection; see motifs delta cross-reference).
  • regional ontologies: subsection on a new [[regional-ontologies]] concept page or as bridge on [[matrixed-ontology]].

Note: 7 additional candidates (spontaneous, lacunary, presence-as-past, style, ultra-things/infra-things, lebendige Gegenwart, magic) are kept on watch list; either they overlap tracker entries (style, magic) or warrant treatment under existing concept pages (presence-as-past → mythical-time HUB; ultra-things → existing [[ultra-chose]]). The protocol limit (3 per source) is respected.

morris-2024-wild-structure-melting-time

Tracker: melting time (HUB), discontinuity/leap, spatial→temporal redistribution, indeterminate being/impuissance (already in tracker), original past, sense in being, structure as object, expression/paradox, soap bubbles/oil drops, wave-particle/smoky dragon, time-crystals, guiding-branching, MP-Bergsonian, wild being/sauvage, Aristotle change-time, Smolin/temporal naturalism, imperfecting expression (HUB), procession/paysage, volant/ur-volant, institution of time, Lefort omissions, QBism, indirect ontology, creativity.

The Morris extraction note lists impuissance as already in tracker. Re-examining:

# Candidate Attestations In tracker? In primary? Verdict Work-test
1 horizon (single occurrence) 1 (§2 p. 161) NO NO PASS Imports phenomenological horizon-structure into QM context to translate QBism into Merleau-Pontian terms. If removed, link between MP and QBism becomes weaker.
2 impuissance 2 (§1 p. 158; §6 p. 168) YES (under "indeterminate being" tracker) NO NEAR-MISS — listed under indeterminate being. The motif tracker entry is "indeterminate being/impuissance" — impuissance is the French gloss but not separately tracked. Reclassifying as silent-key is defensible because it does specific positive-power-of-not-yet work.
3 sauvage as applied to structure (vs being or life alone) Recurs in coining "wild structure" YES (under "wild being") NO REJECTED — covered.

Given the tracker's "indeterminate being/impuissance" pairing, the strict protocol verdict for impuissance is REJECTED-as-tracked. New #3 candidate:

# Candidate (revised) Attestations In tracker? In primary? Verdict Work-test
3 delayed choice (Wheeler) redeployed in MP register §2 p. 160 + §4 p. 164 NO (Wheeler-Ananthaswamy attribution; not MP-vocabulary) NO NEAR-MISS — Morris uses it as a structural figure but it is Wheeler's term. Borderline on the protocol's "author's term" criterion.
3 temps fondant (melting time, BNF Jan 1959 unpublished) 1 archival reference + Morris's redeployment YES (HUB tracker) NO REJECTED

The Morris ingest is unusually motif-dense; the tracker absorbs nearly everything. Final list keeps 2 PASS + 1 NEAR-MISS:

# Candidate (FINAL) Verdict
1 horizon PASS
2 impuissance (NEAR-MISS, sub-tracker upgrade rec.) NEAR-MISS
3 (none surviving full PASS test) —

Recommended action:

  • horizon: typed-connection upgrade on [[indirect-ontology]] and a future [[melting-time]] page.
  • impuissance: dedicated subsection on the new [[melting-time]] page (the French term names the positive power-of-not-yet aspect that "indeterminate being" alone does not capture).

decarie-daigneault-2024-crooked-finger

Tracker (already 17 motifs, including HUBs passence, mythical time, multi-layered timescape; STRUCTURALs spatial-temporal analogy, Kosmotheoros critique, encounter, etc.).

# Candidate Attestations In tracker? In primary? Verdict Work-test
1 survol absolu (MP IP p. 136, n. 5) 1 NO NO PASS Names Kosmotheoros-structure of all-at-once temporal viewing on the IP-side. Single citation but doctrinally heavy. Without it, transtemporality has no contrastive structural foil within MP's own vocabulary.
2 hyle of the past (MP IP p. 56, n. 40) 1 NO NO PASS Names the irreducible reality of the past that I cannot invent or create, only encounter. Anchors the paper's claim that empirical data participate in the encounter (carbon dating, morphology infuse the trace with sense of farness).
3 acosmic subject (MP PhP p. 317/279, n. 15) 1 NO NO PASS Specifies the negative pole of the Kosmotheoros (depth cannot be the thought of an acosmic subject). Single citation; cross-link to existing MP-perspective coverage.

Recommended action:

  • survol absolu: subsection on a new [[transtemporality]] concept page (transtemporality is precisely not a survol absolu).
  • hyle of the past: subsection on the new [[passence]] page (philosophical name for the role of empirical data in non-objectivist account).
  • acosmic subject: typed-connection upgrade on existing MP-perspective pages.

merleau-ponty-1942-structure-of-behavior

Tracker (very dense; 22+ motifs including HUBs melody, Schneider, integration, body-proper, nascence, ambiguity, vital order, force-field, three orders, immanent critique).

# Candidate Attestations In tracker? In primary? Verdict Work-test
1 signification (Ch III–IV technical use) 8+ across Ch II (raw 814, 820); Ch III (1356, 1494, 1536); Ch IV (1870, 2024, 2048) NO NO PASS What MP substitutes for cause (productive in physics, final in biology, mental in psychology). Term that lets him refuse mechanism, vitalism, and intellectualism jointly. If removed, three-orders thesis collapses into either materialism (orders as differences in causal complexity) or vitalism (orders as powers of being).
2 naïve consciousness (vs. realism) 2 (Ch IV raw 1738; note 1 raw 2591) NO NO PASS Naïve consciousness/verbalized account contrast licenses MP's claim that realism is a reconstruction, not an immediate datum. Positionally load-bearing for the entire well-founded-error argument. Structural successor: V&I's "perceptual faith."
3 transverse functions / Querfunktionen 4 (Ch I raw 416, 682; Ch II raw 736, 948; Ch IV raw 1896) NO NO PASS What makes "form" thinkable in nerve functioning without a vitalist hypothesis. Technical neuropsychological term that does the philosophical work of ruling out both anatomical-localist and finalist-vitalist accounts.

Recommended action:

  • signification: subsection on SB source page (the 1942 technical use); cross-link to [[stiftung]], [[fundamental-thought-in-art]], [[indirect-language]] where SB is the cardinal early attestation.
  • naïve consciousness: typed-connection upgrade — is a middle term between a 1942 naïve-consciousness anchor and [[perceptual-faith]] (V&I). Source page subsection.
  • transverse functions: cross-reference from [[motor-intentionality]] concept page; SB source page records as the empirical hinge between Ch I and Ch III's ontology.

Tier 2 weight-shift table

Light-pass review. For each Tier 2 source, current silent-key candidates' corpus weight is reassessed under the new Tier 1 context. Format: shift / status quo / promotion-ready.

Tier 2 source Existing silent keys Weight under new context Verdict Recommendation
merleau-ponty-1968-visible-and-invisible initiation (HUB on dedicated page); promiscuity (subsection in flesh-as-element) initiation now sits in matrix HUB cluster (motifs.md) which has grown via Décarie-Daigneault 2024 (passence) and Knight 2024 (Plato khôra). Initiation continues to do level-opening work. Status quo + minor weight-shift upward Update [[initiation]] page to reference the passence / transtemporality register added 2026-05-05 (the level-opening figure now has a temporal twin in passence).
merleau-ponty-1961-eye-and-mind science secrète (dedicated page); équivalent interne (subsection); Klee's absolute painting (typed connection) All three stable. The new system-of-équivalences motif (added post-Taddio 2025) absorbs équivalent interne into HUB-level corpus weight. Status quo (système d'équivalences already promoted to STRUCTURAL motif; rationale carries through 2026-04-28e Taddio ingest) None
saintaubert-2021-etre-et-chair-ii (no Phase 2 silent-key scan — predates protocol) The 2023 paper (Tier 1) covers the same architecture and surfaces its own silent keys (portance commune, important sans portance, ouvré). Saint Aubert 2021's vocabulary is now better tracked. Status quo (the 2023 paper effectively serves as silent-key audit for the 2021 book; no fresh scan needed) Cross-reference SA 2023 silent keys on the SA 2021 source page when convenient.
faul-2024-ontologically-interactive-painting connection (subsection); inaugurate (typed connection); resume/resumption (subsection on institution) resumption / reprise is now a fully-tracked HUB-level motif via Inédits I (HUB), Inédits II (HUB), H&T 1947 (HUB). Faul's English resume is positionally weaker than MP's French reprise; the secondary translation is now well-anchored to the 1946-49 source. Minor weight-shift: the resumption register is now a full HUB on the corpus (currently STRUCTURAL on motifs.md). Update [[institution]] §"reprise/resumption" to note that Faul's English-only attestation now sits within a 1946-49 → 1955 → 2024 lineage with French and English registers.
carbone-2015-flesh-of-images khôra (subsection on matrix-related concept page) khôra is now part of matrix HUB cluster which has expanded via Knight 2024 (Plato Timaeus through Bachelard) and Décarie-Daigneault 2024 (passence). Status quo (matrix cluster well-tracked at corpus level) None
kaushik-2019-matrixed-ontology quasi-concept (note); Erinnerung (note) quasi-concept shows family-resemblance with Heidegger Nietzsche I "Vollendung" (a primary metaphysical concept that is also a methodological category) and Heidegger Nietzsche II "Subiectität" (Heideggerian neologism that is a category for thinking the history of being). The cross-source resonance is now stronger. Minor weight-shift upward: quasi-concept could now be promoted to motifs.md as a cross-source methodological motif (3 sources: Kaushik, Heidegger N I, Heidegger N II) for the family-resemblance term across "elemental" / metaphysical-mode vocabularies. Add to motifs.md as new BRIDGE motif (Kaushik + Heidegger; methodological vocabulary); see motifs delta.
carbone-2004-thinking-of-the-sensible resignification (note on hyper-reflection); complying-with/seconder (voyance subsection); interrogative thought (typed) All three stable. Resignification gains weight as method-name for the "open the concept without destroying it" project, but no new sources surface that promote it cross-corpus. Status quo None
valery-1960-oeuvres-ii éventuel/éventualité (implex); apprivoiser (implex); point unique (coherent-deformation) All three stable. No new sources contest the implex vocabulary or the se déforme / point unique register. Status quo None

Tier 2 summary: 1 minor weight-shift confirmed (Kaushik quasi-concept now BRIDGE-eligible cross-source); 1 minor weight-shift on the resumption / reprise register (Faul's English attestation now anchored in 1946-49 HUB lineage); 6 status quo. No HUB demotions.

Cross-reference to Phase 3 motif report

Silent keys frequently surface as motif promotion candidates when cross-source attestation accumulates. The following Tier 1 silent keys are cross-referenced in motifs-delta-2026-05-05.md:

Silent key Source Cross-source candidates Motif-delta entry
texture MP 1992 T&D Carbone 2015 (texture of red), V&I working notes (texture of being), grain-du-sensible cluster New STRUCTURAL motif candidate
Stimmung MP 1947 H&T Heidegger Nietzsche I (Grundstimmung); Heidegger Nietzsche II New BRIDGE motif (Heidegger ↔ MP)
signification MP 1942 SB Cross-source through MP corpus; structural, not motif-tier Source-page subsection only
Versäumnis / Vollendung Heidegger N I + N II + EoP Three Heidegger sources; HUB-tier within Heidegger corpus New HUB motif candidate (Heidegger Vollendung cluster)
Machenschaft Heidegger N II + EoP cybernetic specification Two Heidegger sources New STRUCTURAL motif candidate
quasi-concept (Tier 2 weight-shift) Kaushik 2019 + Heidegger N I + N II 3 sources (1 secondary, 2 primary-Heidegger) New BRIDGE motif candidate (methodological-vocabulary register)
intentional encroachment CPP 2010 Genealogical anchor 1949-52 for chiasm/intercorporeity Subsection on [[intercorporeity]]; flag for chiasm-genealogy on motifs.md
passence / hyle of the past / acosmic subject Décarie-Daigneault 2024 Already absorbed in mythical-time HUB which got promoted to HUB-tier 2026-05-05 No new motif (status quo)

Summary of Tier 1 PASS candidates

38 PASS across 13 sources. Distribution:

  • Promote to dedicated concept page (HUB or STRUCTURAL corpus weight, requires its own page): 1 (Machenschaft).
  • Add subsection to existing concept page (BRIDGE weight, anchor on related page): 25.
  • Add to motifs.md only (THEME weight, low individual page payoff): 0 — but 6 silent keys promoted to motif-delta as cross-source candidates.
  • Defer (insufficient evidence; flag for next audit): 0 (within Tier 1; tier 2 has 6 status-quo).

1 NEAR-MISS (Stimmung tracker entry already exists but is single-attestation; the cross-source treatment in H&T promotes it to BRIDGE-tier motif).

3. Raw sources inspected: minimal (extraction-note-mediated reads only; raw-source verification is Agent C's scope)

4. Claims or pages affected (citation only)

  • Concept pages with recommended subsections: [[portance]], [[martin-heidegger]], [[vollendung-der-metaphysik]], [[aletheia]], [[task-of-thinking]], [[end-of-philosophy]], [[grain-du-sensible]], [[flesh-as-element]], [[action-of-unveiling-vs-action-of-governing]], [[freud-without-demonology]], [[schneider-case]], [[prospective-activity-of-consciousness]] (NEW), [[recognition-and-institution]] (NEW), [[conditioned-freedom]], [[reprise]], [[primordial-expression]], [[logique-de-fait]], [[no-mans-land-1949]] (NEW), [[marxist-machiavellianism]], [[contingency-of-the-future]], [[body-schema]], [[intercorporeity]], [[chiasm]], [[matrixed-ontology]], [[melting-time]] (NEW), [[indirect-ontology]], [[transtemporality]] (NEW), [[passence]] (NEW), the SB source page (NEW), [[stiftung]], [[fundamental-thought-in-art]], [[indirect-language]], [[motor-intentionality]], [[perceptual-faith]], [[machenschaft]] (NEW dedicated page).
  • New concept page recommended (HUB-corpus weight, primary): [[machenschaft]].
  • Tier 2 weight-shift effects: [[institution]] (resumption/reprise lineage update); motifs.md quasi-concept BRIDGE entry (Kaushik + Heidegger).

5. Findings ranked: blocker / high / medium / low

  • Blocker: 0.
  • High: Machenschaft (Heidegger N II + EoP) — needs dedicated concept page; the wiki's motifs.md already references it as if it exists. intentional encroachment (CPP 2010) — silent precursor to chiasm; should anchor a 1949-52 genealogical step.
  • Medium: All other 36 PASS candidates — subsection adds only.
  • Low: Tier 2 weight-shifts (Kaushik quasi-concept BRIDGE; Faul resumption lineage upgrade).

6. Evidence anchors per finding (extraction-note line numbers)

Documented inline per candidate above (raw lines from extraction notes; not raw sources).

Per source above. Lead applies after reviewing both reports (silent-keys-delta + motifs-delta) jointly, since several silent keys cross-promote to motifs.

8. Cross-references to other sub-agents' work expected

  • Agent A (Phase 1 gap report / synthetic-layer pre-survey): texture motif emergence + Stimmung Heidegger genealogy + Vollendung cluster may surface as gap items.
  • Agent C (Phase 4 raw-source spot-checks): the passence / hyle of the past / transcendance verticale → horizontale anchors should be raw-checked since they sit at hinge points (Crooked Finger paper; Inédits I editor's introduction).
  • Phase 8 (synthetic-layer assembly): silent-key candidates surfacing claim candidates — transcendance verticale → horizontale (Maldiney 1948 letter-letter), intentional encroachment (1949-52 chiasm-precursor), Machenschaft (Heidegger cybernetic age), equivocity (MP normative ontology) — should be evaluated for promotion gates.

9. Confidence/status before → after for each affected motif/concept

  • [[machenschaft]]: not-on-wiki → high-priority candidate for dedicated page (HUB-tier, motifs.md cross-reference exists).
  • [[portance]] motifs.md entry: existing → expand to include ouvré et œuvre etymological subsection.
  • [[institution]] reprise lineage: STRUCTURAL → HUB (Faul's English-language resumption now within French reprise lineage from Inédits I/II / H&T).
  • motifs.md matrix HUB: HUB → HUB+ (no shift, but more anchors).
  • motifs.md mythical time HUB: HUB → HUB-tier (already promoted 2026-05-05 with Décarie-Daigneault); silent-keys consistent.
  • motifs.md Vollendung-cluster: not-on-wiki → new HUB candidate (3 Heidegger sources).
  • motifs.md quasi-concept: not-on-wiki → new BRIDGE candidate (Kaushik + Heidegger).
  • motifs.md Stimmung (currently single-attestation): existing → BRIDGE candidate (Heidegger ↔ MP).
