The date of a document and the date of an interpretation are recorded separately.| Witness or edition | Date | Editorial status | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Encyclopedia of Korean Culture | 1826–1898 onward | Baseline source | The text and intellectual influence are traceable; physical predictions derived from it require independent evidence. |
| 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 Encyclopedia of Korean Culture. |
