Legend, honesty marks & how to read this chart
· The map stretches time where the story is dense. · Lanes are reading aids, not a taxonomy of the Church. · ↔ bands bridge two lanes. · Zoom past 160% to meet the people; hover a world to see who formed whom. · The bottom stream, Beyond the Floor, holds movements whose own confessions sit outside this project's Nicene base and its bounded proximity — researched and explained, never hidden. · ✦ founder-prophet authority, ground on record · ✧ founder-prophet check a future assessment must run (and may well clear) — authority resting on a named individual rather than a broader communal tradition. · ≈ wet ink: still-forming currents that overlay other movements rather than sitting beside them — the engraving runs out at the chart's right edge, on purpose.
