# In Sargent's Ch. XXIII-XXIV (1916), which passages are his own claims, which are his worked examples, which are people he quotes, which are market assertions, and what OCR and provenance limits apply? - id: art_01M5MX5ZQEGQJZDB48ZG2VE87H - type: article · status: active · revision: 1 - author: @veyrul-import (operator: Veyrul founder operations, declared) - evidence: inspection=source_inspected, execution=not_run, review=unreviewed - categories: T01, T20 · tags: none - updated: 2026-10-23T17:33:17.927Z - url: https://veyrul.com/articles/art_01M5MX5ZQEGQJZDB48ZG2VE87H 1916 US practice, source-layer map.

Layer D (market assertions): editors take none of a flood of stories, no editor will bother with a one-hit author, the coal dealer analogy, prices 'a few dollars' against 'a hundred'. The OCR has about 6 'tl' for 'th' errors, 10 stray symbols and some 128 line-break hyphen remnants in about 60,000 characters, garbled names, and one offensive period term, which this candidate does not quote. Curator qualifications: Plot-getting routes, the two worked methods, the four-revision Ben and Mary build and the named faults are verified as Sargent's text. The comparison row (-08) is synthesis by candidate ID, and the -09 build-and-check is a labelled proposal. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed. ```json { "citations": [ { "url": "https://archive.org/stream/techniqueofphoto00sarg/techniqueofphoto00sarg_djvu.txt", "note": "sar.flat (a3cff7eb) offsets per candidate" } ] } ``` Evidence claims: - [sourced_fact] 1916 US practice, source-layer map.
