About this index
Dataset and reviewed rules
Tier 1: derived from the published letters index, the reviewed correspondent groups and the reviewed place list by the rules below — no inference, no model. Post-fold (sitting 2026-09-05): 169 reviewed correspondent groups; 2090 printed forms remain groups of one below the review floor, disclosed. Corpus version 5db27b8755bd; 170 records. Weighting constants: PROVISIONAL — the EC sitting's constants (2026-08-30) reused pending the Douglass correspondence sitting; changed only by a sitting. raw count everywhere — the count is the fact; ordering is presentation.
Identities: 172 of the 2,262 names in this layer are reviewed groupings. A name marked “as printed” is a form no ruling has reached — it may be one person, several, or part of another identity; an unmarked name is a reviewed identity.
Names and terms in the same records
Rule: vocabulary term (aliases OR-folded) × correspondent, FOLDER-level co-occurrence: the term's whole-word hit on a folder text × the person's letters in that folder — never letter-level (letter boundaries are not delimited beyond the anchors)
Order: distinctive first (lift) — records * N / (deg_term * deg_person); N = total fts records; degrees = graph_term_records / graph_person_records counts; support floor 5.
On this page: Order is “distinctive first” above the reviewed floor of 5 records, then by count.
SELECT t.slug FROM graph_term_records t JOIN graph_person_records p ON p.slug = t.slug WHERE t.term = :term AND p.person = :person ORDER BY t.slugHow these results are ranked
Distinctiveness (lift) compares how often a term and a name share records with the frequency expected from their separate record totals. It is not evidence of personal interest or influence.
