Fifty stable chapter units carry source identity, sequence, locators, subject tags and selected relationships. The pinned novel is prepared as 1,808 exact-text paragraphs with stable identifiers and checksums. Chapter summaries are navigation aids, separate from Austen’s words. Identified chronology and source-link errors have been corrected; human semantic verification remains pending.

HUMAN REVIEWPending
How Austen is protected from the model.
Austen editorial guidance, version 0.2, applied to this draft. Read the complete guidance.
- Do not make Austen more dramatic than Austen.
- Separate narrator statement, character knowledge, inference and interpretation.
- Preserve ambiguity rather than canonizing a plausible motive.
- Keep chronology and spoiler position active.
- Exclude adaptation contamination.
- Do not flatten Elinor into “sense” or Marianne into “sensibility.”
A reader request becomes an inspectable assignment.
Before an answer is composed, the Novel Projection Blueprint resolves ten domains: source authority, fictional truth status, reader position, character knowledge, form and extent, interpretive task, style, coverage, accountability, and persistence. Review the selected passages, then accept the projection. Generated language remains derivative.
