Mind the Gap
Canonical Lines — Inclusion Assessment · V69
Register v1.3 (31 lines) checked against the live V69 manuscript
What's locked in the Register vs what's actually in the book now. The restructuring this session (Ch 6 rebuild, Its Language, 76m relocation, chapter renumbering) has moved several lines and stranded two. Status legend below.
IN — Present and correct
IN (moved) — Present but in a different chapter than the Register records
DRIFT — Present but wording differs from the locked version
NOT FOUND — Locked line not located verbatim in manuscript
LOST — Was placed; removed during restructure
PENDING — Never placed; Register marks it pending
EXTERNAL — Intended for non-manuscript use; correctly absent
Summary: 26 present · 1 wording drift · 1 not found · 1 lost in restructure · 1 pending placement · 1 external (correctly absent).

Present, correct. Opens Ch 9 in bold italic. |

NOT FOUND |
Exact locked line not in manuscript. The idea appears (Ch 7 fluency listening; Ch 11 'find the block') but not this wording. Either reworded in an earlier pass or never placed verbatim. DECISION NEEDED. |

All the GPUs in the world will not change that. |

Present, correct. |

Parallels of focus never cease to amaze me. |
IN |
Present, correct. |

5 |
Behind every word spoken, there was another word withheld. |
IN (moved) |
Present — but it travelled. It now sits in the 76m passage relocated to Ch 9 Room Three (V66), not Ch 5. Register placement is now stale. |

The compression has become better at hiding. |

Present (drift self-demonstration section). |

8 |
It is the gap, occurring at the source. |
LOST |
Was the closing line of the Dreaming subsection. Dreaming was REMOVED from Ch 6 in V63 (material moved to Ch 4 'Its Language'). This line did NOT travel with it. CASUALTY OF RESTRUCTURE — decide: reinstate in Its Language, or retire. |

DRIFT |
Present at Ch 4 open BUT manuscript reads 'Statistical at the level of mechanism. Commercial at the level of platform...' — fuller than the register's compressed lock. Reconcile: update register to match manuscript, or tighten manuscript to match register. Co-authored with Claude. |

Thank you Jose. |

PENDING |
Never placed. Register itself marks placement pending. Strongest pre-book sentence about the gap. DECISION: place it (Ch 1 open / back cover candidate) or leave for marketing. |

EXTERNAL |
Correctly absent from manuscript. Register designates it for the Handover paper / Author's Note, not the book body. |

Decisions this surfaces
• CL-8 'It is the gap, occurring at the source' — LOST when Dreaming left Ch 6. It was the close of that subsection. Decide: reinstate as the close of Ch 4 'Its Language' (its natural new home), or formally retire from the Register.
• CL-2 'I pay attention to behaviour for a living…' — locked but not found verbatim. Decide: place it (Ch 5 or Ch 9 are natural), or mark the Register that it lives only as paraphrase.
• CL-13 wording drift — manuscript has the fuller 'at the level of' version; Register has the compressed lock. Reconcile one to the other.
• CL-22 'sophistication defies simplicity' — never placed. Strong line. Decide: Ch 1 open / back cover, or leave for marketing only.
• Register placement fields are stale for CL-18/19/20/21/26 — they reference old chapter numbers (Ch 10/11) before this session's renumbering. Register needs a placement refresh to match V69.
Note: the Register file itself (MTG-Canonical-Lines-Register-v1.3.md) is a Project File and unchanged by this assessment. This artefact reports what V69 contains; updating the Register to v1.4 (refreshed placements + resolve CL-8/CL-2/CL-13/CL-22) is a separate action for Paul to confirm.
