Source notesIdentity and text locators

The two observations identify the country containing Sinanju, while village and government observations remain separate.

destroyer-013:north-korea (witness:00000036:ch02:p0010).

destroyer-020:north-korea (witness:00000057:ch01:p0190; witness:00000057:ch03:p0048).

destroyer-036:north-korea: Lead accepted the separate-reader contextual proposal after comparing primary contexts: New source names the country in national-origin or historical geographic account; prior explicitly locates Sinanju village in North Korea. Country link does not join Sinanju referents or endorse the historical tale. Original labels, participation scope and attributed fictional claims remain in the observation. (witness:00000105:ch09:p0046; witness:00000036:ch02:p0010).

destroyer-039:north-korea: Lead accepted the separate-reader contextual proposal after comparing primary contexts: New source names the country in national-origin or historical geographic account; prior explicitly locates Sinanju village in North Korea. Country link does not join Sinanju referents or endorse the historical tale. Original labels, participation scope and attributed fictional claims remain in the observation. (witness:00000114:ch06:p0035; witness:00000114:ch06:p0036; witness:00000036:ch02:p0010).

destroyer-027:north-korea: Lead accepted the separate-reader contextual proposal after comparing primary contexts: Both explicitly locate Sinanju in North Korea; country linkage separate from Sinanju core records. Original labels, participation scope and attributed fictional claims remain in the observation. (witness:00000078:ch02:p0120; witness:00000036:ch02:p0010).

destroyer-055:north-korea: Lead compared the identifying source context and accepted prior role: Country in which Sinanju is located in the narrative. Compatible prior subject: Country where the village of Sinanju is located. Preserve observed labels, mention versus scene scope and character-attributed claims; this joins the subject, not all assertions about it. (witness:00000159:ch02:p0134; witness:00000036:ch02:p0010).

destroyer-059:north-korea-b59: Lead compared identifying primary contexts and compatible recurring scope for North Korea: Country where the narrative places Sinanju village. Prior subject: Country where the village of Sinanju is located. Preserve book-specific statements and distinguish product brand from any physical item. (witness:00000171:ch02:p0110; witness:00000036:ch02:p0010).

destroyer-046:north-korea-b46: Lead compared identifying primary contexts for North Korea: Country whose Communist authorities Nuihc reportedly intended to sell the village to. This remains the novel’s retrospective account. Prior scope: Country where the village of Sinanju is located.. Preserve each account and source attribution. (witness:00000135:ch02:p0017; witness:00000036:ch02:p0010).

destroyer-063:north-korea: Same named country. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000183:ch02:p0145; witness:00000183:ch04:p0006; witness:00000036:ch02:p0010).

destroyer-070:north-korea: Same country locating Sinanju and North Korean authorities. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000204:ch01:p0048; witness:00000204:ch05:p0061; witness:00000036:ch02:p0010).

destroyer-071:north-korea: Same named country. Source claims about Sinanju’s location remain attributed to the individual books. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000207:ch08:p0040; witness:00000207:ch08:p0042; witness:00000222:ch03:p0017).

destroyer-076:north-korea: The same country is explicitly named as Sinanju’s location. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000222:ch03:p0017; witness:00000036:ch02:p0010; witness:00000159:ch02:p0134).

destroyer-073:b73-north-korea: Same country; prior text directly places Sinanju in North Korea, as does current text. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000213:ch18:p0074; witness:00000213:ch20:p0001; witness:00000036:ch02:p0010).

destroyer-096:north-korea: Current country observations identify North Korea as the location of Sinanju; this is the existing country-place subject, distinct from the North Korean government or military organizations. Lead inspected actual cited primary paragraphs and, where necessary, replaced a metonymic/absent comparison locator with direct prior subject evidence. Bounded identity decision, not another complete reading. (witness:00000282:ch08:p0056; witness:00000036:ch02:p0010).

destroyer-086:north-korea: Current country observations identify North Korea as the location of Sinanju; this is the existing country-place subject, distinct from the North Korean government or military organizations.
