Repeated exact source label and compatible controlled type identify the same named subject; only observations with this label/type are grouped.
No merge by spelling was applied across distinct controlled types.
Reviewed source observation locators: destroyer-004:los-angeles (witness:00000009:ch05:p0070); destroyer-005:los-angeles (witness:00000012:ch01:p0005); destroyer-009:los-angeles (witness:00000024:ch12:p0017); destroyer-010:los-angeles (witness:00000027:ch02:p0090).
destroyer-013:los-angeles links to this subject after independent source review and lead contextual comparison (witness:00000036:ch01:p0001; witness:00000036:ch01:p0045).
destroyer-022:los-angeles: Contextual comparison supports the recurring Los Angeles referent: City identified in the clipping about Judge Walsh’s death. Earlier compatible observation: Destination for 700 pounds of heroin. (witness:00000063:ch02:p0065; witness:00000009:ch05:p0070).
destroyer-030:b30-los-angeles: Lead compared identifying primary passages and reviewed roles for Los Angeles: Location of the Korean consul complex. This is compatible with the existing los-angeles subject (Destination for 700 pounds of heroin). The source’s own labels, narrative/mention/paratext scope, attributed statements and uncertainty remain in its observation; this decision does not assert real-world accuracy of fictional acts. (witness:00000087:ch02:p0007; witness:00000009:ch05:p0070).
destroyer-031:b31-los-angeles: Lead compared identifying primary passages and reviewed roles for Los Angeles: City where Remo falls from a building and encounters a discriminatory cab driver. This is compatible with the existing los-angeles subject (Destination for 700 pounds of heroin). The source’s own labels, narrative/mention/paratext scope, attributed statements and uncertainty remain in its observation; this decision does not assert real-world accuracy of fictional acts. (witness:00000090:ch02:p0010; witness:00000009:ch05:p0070).
destroyer-040:los-angeles: Lead compared identifying primary passages and reviewed roles for Los Angeles: Named location of the future 1984 Olympics. This is compatible with the existing los-angeles subject (Destination for 700 pounds of heroin). The source’s own labels, narrative/mention/paratext scope, attributed statements and uncertainty remain in its observation; this decision does not assert real-world accuracy of fictional acts. (witness:00000117:ch19:p0005; witness:00000009:ch05:p0070).
destroyer-056:los-angeles: Bounded lead comparison supports one subject from identifying source passages and contextual roles: The narrative says John Schutz and Amanda honeymooned in Los Angeles and describes their demonstration there. Prior context: Destination for 700 pounds of heroin Distinct book-specific facts and attributed accounts remain scoped. (witness:00000162:ch01:p0012; witness:00000009:ch05:p0070).
destroyer-058:los-angeles: The named geographic subject matches the prior source context; city, state, country and organizational scopes remain distinct. (witness:00000168:ch02:p0145).
destroyer-052:los-angeles: Lead compared source contexts identifying the same geographic subject; neighboring sites, fictional organizations and city/state scopes remain distinct. (witness:00000150:ch02:p0215).
destroyer-053:los-angeles: Identifying context and compatible prior role compared by lead: California city named as the First Church of Krishna the Undraftable’s location. Prior: Destination for 700 pounds of heroin Retain observed form, source attribution and mention scope. (witness:00000153:ch03:p0035; witness:00000009:ch05:p0070).
destroyer-047:los-angeles: Lead compared identifying primary contexts and compatible recurring roles for Los Angeles: California city where the UCLA laboratory, dump, courthouse and mission begin. Prior subject: Destination for 700 pounds of heroin For Gordons, the distinctive assimilator/survival directive and remembered Remo threat establish continuity; this does not erase inconsistent depictions. (witness:00000138:ch03:p0027; witness:00000009:ch05:p0070).
destroyer-060:los-angeles: Lead compared identifying primary contexts and recurring scope for Los Angeles: U.S. city Marcia names among the reprogrammed missile targets. Prior context: Destination for 700 pounds of heroin Preserve each work’s account and its attribution. (witness:00000174:ch16:p0036; witness:00000009:ch05:p0070).
destroyer-078:los-angeles: Lead compared source-identifying passages and compatible subject roles. Los Angeles denotes the recurring subject here; story-specific actions, historical legends and reported claims remain separate observations. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000228:ch15:p0087; witness:00000009:ch05:p0070).
destroyer-065:los-angeles: Both passages explicitly name the same real-world geographic subject; the cited Book 65 and earlier contexts support its use as a place in the novel. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000189:ch03:p0002; witness:00000009:ch05:p0070).
destroyer-066:los-angeles: Book 66 explicitly names Los Angeles as the firm’s location (ch01:p0078; ch03:p0024); the prior candidate also names the California city. This is an unambiguous locality match. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000192:ch01:p0078; witness:00000192:ch03:p0024; witness:00000009:ch05:p0070).
