The order switch

A reading is not wrong for being late, and this site does not rank one licensed witness above another on its own authority. So the order the readings come in is the reader’s, and these are the positions it can be put in. Press one at the top of any book and the card you have open re-sorts under you.

Each position below says what it is, whether it can be answered from what is on this disk today, and which record answers it. A position that cannot be answered yet is still listed, dimmed, with what it waits on written on it: a switch that quietly drops the questions it cannot handle teaches a reader those questions were never asked.

All seven are positions of one kind — they order the readings, they do not admit or refuse any. So exactly one of them is in force at a time and none of them has an off. A switch that admitted or refused rather than ordered would be a different kind of thing, and would have to say so here.

The reader, opened at the beginning of Genesis. Its switch is at the top of the frame: press a word to open its card, then press a position and watch the readings re-sort under you.

Not a specimen and not a copy — that frame holds the same page served at /genesis/, with the same card, the same store and the same switch. This page types no Hebrew of its own: every character in the frame comes out of the zone, which is the only place characters of the text are allowed to come from.

1corpuslive

Lexicons of the text’s own era answer first — the corpus lane’s classification of each source, not ours. The rest keep their own order under them.

answered from data/source-corpus-v1.json · declared_corpus

2masoreticlive

Readings whose source points the word the way this text points it answer first — the lattice’s vowel match, the corpus lane’s grade and not ours. The rest keep their own order under them.

3cites herelive

Readings whose source names this verse answer first — the lattice’s own citation list for this position. The rest keep their own order under them.

4characterslive

Letters match exactly, pointing ignored — which is how every key on this shelf is made, so this is the catalog’s own order, undisturbed.

5vowels differlive

Readings whose source points the word differently while the letters agree answer first, to watch the sense move — the lattice’s vowel mismatch. The rest keep their own order under them.

6outside the eralive

Lexicons the corpus lane classifies as explicitly NOT of the text’s own era answer first, to let a reader watch the sense move. Unknown is not later: a source with no classification keeps its place.

answered from data/source-corpus-v1.json · declared_corpus, where it is explicitly not the text’s own

7oldest firstlive

The oldest source answers first. The order this page has always used, and the one it returns to.
