This is a source-grounded interpretation, not a simulation of a person or a claim to know what they would say.

Sources are bounded and visible. Missing work, context, and disagreement remain part of the lens.
This interpretation is bounded by the visible material below. It can be corrected as the corpus, context, or steward changes.
