REVIEWED-97 — PENDING-113 — Disposition (vi): voice: for anonymous, traditional and scripturally-claimed matter

Date: 2026-08-08 Decision: DISPOSED. Unblocks remediation-order step 1; step 2 (re-tag the Mauss blocks) may proceed per item, under the structure below. Step 3 (citable: true) stays gated behind step 2, as ruled. Full reasoning: studium-engine/docs/voice-non-individual-origin-2026-08-08.md. The compressed rule below is not a substitute for it — whoever writes the next per-source note reasons from that document, not from two tokens. Provenance: jurist design-gate 2026-08-08 (category vocabulary + two-job structure); executor correction of the field placement, from substrate the jurist cannot read (PENDING-86); steward's bibliographic-vs-theological distinction is the ground of the split.

The disposition — four slots, each doing one job. The category vocabulary is the jurist's, unchanged; what changed is where it lives.

  • identity — voice:. Who is convoked. voice: is the retrieval key (retrieve.py filters d.voice = ?), so one value IS one speaker: measured, glidden already spans 5 sources and weil spans 2, correctly, because one person is behind each. Individual-author voices aggregate at the person; traditional and scriptural matter has no such person, so identity lives at the work level — havamal, quran-taghabun — or at the passage level where there is no work (the Trobriand formulae). Read as unique per quoted work, not per host; quoted_by distinguishes hosts. Executor names the values.
  • relation — quoted_by:. Unchanged from REVIEWED-96 Q3: a quoted span grounds the host's REPRODUCTION, never the quoted author's AUTHORSHIP. This, not the voice name, is what limits a thin voice built from an excerpt.
  • category — closed pair, and NOT in the convocation key. traditional (no author claimed, by anyone, within the source's own tradition) · non-individual-origin (the tradition itself holds this is not a human composition, by whatever mechanism it names).
  • account — per-source prose note. The specific claim each tradition makes about its own text's origin does not compress into a token; it goes in prose, one per item.

Why the category may not sit in voice:. Putting it there would make traditional a single convocable speaker spanning Old Norse gnomic verse and Sanskrit epic, with no mechanism to separate them again — the same flattening the ruling exists to prevent, committed in the mechanism instead of the taxonomy.

Binding caution. Do NOT assign the remaining items — Havámál, Trobriand formulae, Mahābhārata, Brahmanic passages — to traditional by elimination. At least one (the Trobriand formulae, tied in their own cosmology to ancestral or mythic origin) may need non-individual-origin, or a note complicating either bucket. Each item gets its own considered note before tagging. Writing the note is the work; the two-way choice is not a substitute for it.

Correction carried into this entry. The text is Surah LXIV (at-Taghābun), vv. 15–18 — not CXIV (an-Nās), which is a different six-verse surah. Mauss's own line reads "la fameuse Sourate LXIV, « déception mutuelle »". The mislabelling originated in the executor's sidecar title and propagated into REVIEWED-96 (Q4), PENDING-113 and session memory; those three name the wrong surah and should be read with this correction. The earlier worked example was built on the "Say" (قُل) formula, which opens an-Nās and does not appear in the passage Mauss quotes — that evidence is withdrawn, not transplanted. The general ground (the Qur'án presents itself as divine speech) is untouched. Mauss's "donnée à La Mecque" is contestable — at-Taghābun's Meccan/Medinan classification is disputed — and the note records the dispute rather than resolving it.

Not disposed here. All twelve (vi) blocks are translated matter and role is single-valued, so each is quoted-in and translated-from at once. REVIEWED-96 filed that composition as open against Ungaretti-in-Harrison, as an edge case; it covers the whole of (vi). The disposition is decided; it cannot be applied until that composition is ruled.

Scope. Disposes (vi) only. REVIEWED-96 Q1–Q6 and PENDING-113's Q2/Q4/Q5 conditions are untouched. The Harrison/Mark finding raised alongside this is filed separately as PENDING-114, not as evidence for this entry.

Numbering note (PENDING-110). This is REVIEWED-97, the next in its own sequence — not REVIEWED-113. The registers are independent; PENDING-110 REJECTED renumbering-to-align, and numbering this 113 would skip 97–112 and entrench the false expectation that the sequences match. The heading names its PENDING per that item's convention (b).
