Critical apparatus
Kill-instrument — a dataset that can test conjecturesgenuine variant/apparatus data at scale -- Homeric papyri, Gandhari scrolls, epic recensions, Parry-Lord recordings. V2 narrows this family to true variant-apparatus corpora; critical/documentary print editions used as countable data now belong to instrument-published-edition-corpora.

Open conjectures — noetic, untested
