06 · EDITION AND WITNESS COMPARISON
How the evidence for Jeane Dixon's Predictions changes
The date of a document and the date of an interpretation are recorded separately.| Witness or edition | Date | Editorial status | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Encyclopaedia Britannica · Jeane Dixon | 1940s–1990s | Baseline source | Newspaper columns and books allow some checks, but failed forecasts greatly outnumber the few remembered hits. |
| Scholarly or institutional interpretation | Later review | Context layer | Explains language, history and uncertainty without becoming the original text. |
| Viral quotation or modern event match | Recent circulation | Derivative layer | Most vulnerable to translation drift, omitted failures and hindsight; compare with Encyclopaedia Britannica · Jeane Dixon. |

Where interpretation changes
The main dispute concerns the distance between 1940s–1990s and Pre-event columns · post-event publicity · the 'Jeane Dixon effect'. Translation, selective quotation, changed definitions and hindsight can make a broad record appear more exact than it was. Competing readings are therefore preserved rather than silently merged.10 · EVIDENCE SCORE & PROVISIONAL CONCLUSION
