Every citation carries its use_class (SUBSTRATE · ESOTERIC-PRIMARY · AUTHORIAL-REBUTTAL ·
REFERENCE · TONE · DUPLICATE · FRINGE-SKIP). Book-substrate citations arrive via the query layer with SRC_
ids, region-filtered (query_substrate --region bali); the corpus_query_log trail rides the page.
Region-scoping stays a correctness requirement rather than a convenience: the bali shelf now holds
four processed sources spanning evidence tiers that run from a trade-press ethnography to a
peer-reviewed genetics paper, and an unfiltered query mixes an ethnographer's first-hand Balinese
fieldwork with a conservation-genetics dataset that carries no cultural content at all. The two are
both true and both usable, and they are usable for different things — which is what the rest of
this section fixes in writing.
Four sources are processed, deep-read and audited on this shelf. All four are declared here; the
Region Identity block's processed-source line owes the same four ids, and Section 20's session plan
owes the two additions.

106(3):247-257 (2015) — the peer-reviewed authority that GOVERNS every taxonomic and
extinction-dating claim on this shelf, places the Bali tiger inside a monophyletic Sunda-Islands

The use_class split between the two tiger sources is deliberate and is the honest reading of what
each one can do on the page. SRC_00482 is SUBSTRATE because its content is the animal in its
landscape — range, forest habitat, prey, the pressures that eventually removed it — which is
material a player of the ~1200 CE frame can walk through. SRC_00496 is REFERENCE because its
content is a laboratory result: a phylogeny recovered from museum skins in 2015. It has no
era-present investigable surface, its record honestly carries no civilizational marks, and its work
here is governance and authorial grounding, not in-frame play. The two body facts it lends the
CR_0017 roster row — the Bali tiger's smaller overall size beside its Javan sister
[SRC: SRC_00496, p. 252] and a roughly five-year generation with ungulate-prey dependence
[SRC: SRC_00496, p. 255] — enter as reference-backed enrichment of a substrate row, never as
something the chapter's player deduces.
participant observation — and it is a 1990 trade-press essay collection without peer review.
Descriptive Balinese practice from it is well supported. Its comparative far ends, where the
author relays general Indological knowledge from outside his own fieldwork, are the weaker half

expert-compiled, ICOMOS-evaluated, and citing peer-reviewed work throughout. It is strong on the
engineering and governance record and is the page's best anchor for the subak system. The
evidence-tier vocabulary has no member for this class yet; the gap is recorded, not invented past.
range, habitat and extirpation is uncontroversial and matches the specialist literature; what is
dated is its taxonomy, which uses the classical eight-or-nine-subspecies scheme.
question, SRC_00496 wins: all Sunda-island tigers now resolve to one recent lineage differing by
only one or two nucleotides [SRC: SRC_00496, p. 247, p. 252], so the separate-subspecies status
must never be presented as current science. Nothing on the page breaks — "Bali tiger" as the
island's own apex, and the historically-used balica binomial, remain entirely legitimate for a
~1200 CE frame and for CR_0017.
Two governing facts fall out of that and bind every section that touches the tiger or the island's
biogeography:
SRC_00482 names it among "the Sunda Islands (Sumatra, Java, Bali and Borneo)"
[SRC: SRC_00482, p. 7], and SRC_00496 grounds the same point genetically in the repeated
Pleistocene land bridges that joined Bali, Java and Sumatra as recently as the Last Glacial
Maximum [SRC: SRC_00496, p. 248, p. 253]. Bali is not a Wallacea island; Flores is. One harvested
rationale asserted otherwise and the audit corrected it against its own source, so no section of
this page repeats it in any form. What relation the two islands do bear to one another is the
link-graph lane's question to answer, and this section leaves it there rather than settling it in
prose.
statement into a false one: last confirmed record 1937 (the 1930s in the genetics literature
[SRC: SRC_00496, p. 255]); gone from the wild by the end of the 1940s [SRC: SRC_00482, p. 5;
SRC: SRC_00496, p. 247]. Section 3's existing 1937 anchor stands and gains the second date beside
it. The Javan sister ran on to a last reliable sighting in 1976 and is treated as extinct in the
1980s [SRC: SRC_00496, p. 247, p. 255] — a cross-pipeline fact offered to the Ch-5 Java owners,
never authored onto their canon from here.
Each source numbers its pages differently, and every one of the four was verified chunk-by-chunk
against the stored text during audit. Builders citing these sources use the conventions below;
citing a raw PDF index instead of the printed page is the single most common provenance defect on
this shelf and it has already produced anchor drift in two of the four records (SRC_00251 and
SRC_00482).

spine: p. 2 (rwa bineda), p. 8 (kori agung, bhoma, candi bentar), p. 62 (Kala Rauh, the churning,
Tirtha Amertha), p. 147 (balian practice), p. 152 (keris metallurgy and the earliest firm relief
evidence), p. 250 (Uluwatu among the sad kahyangan; Rudra), p. 296 (the Barong drama fragment),
p. 307 (the panasar). The record's page_coverage is null, so an anchor outside this verified set
is checked before it ships.

inscription), II-71 (Raffles 1811 and the Liefrinck/Montesquieu quotation). Every claim is
genuinely attested; only the anchors moved.

One consumption rule rides with these. SRC_00482's own description of Bali's rich volcanic slopes
[SRC: SRC_00482, p. 5] is about IRRIGATION, and its monsoon-forest phrasing on the following page
is about east Java. What it says of Bali tiger habitat is "the large blocks of forested land that
was the home of tigers in the island" [SRC: SRC_00482, p. 5], and that is the sentence to cite. The
Agung-watershed monsoon forest stays the chapter's setting on Section 1's own terrain authority; it
simply is not sourced to this bulletin.

the balance-trial handling) are exactly the claims resting on the weakest evidence tier on the
shelf, and Section 20 continues to gate build-readiness on this acquisition.

tracking loop's field craft — pugmarks, scrapes, cached ungulate kills, scent-marking — is
attested by neither tiger record. SRC_00496 supports body size, generation time and prey
dependence and nothing about tracking behaviour; SRC_00482 supports range and habitat. The loop
is sound and the underlying sign is well documented elsewhere, but the rewards-intelligence
pillar promises real science exactly here, so the minigame spec is grounded before it is built.

and grounds a volcanic-catastrophe register only; it is never asserted as a Balinese event, and
Agung is never presented as Toba-class.

1920s decipherment stays authorial and design-layer provenance.
The gate rule this section holds itself to runs both ways: no SRC id appears here that is not cited
in a body section, and no source cited in a body section is absent here. SRC_00157 and SRC_00251
are already carried across the body. The two additions are queued to the sections that own their
material — SRC_00482 and SRC_00496 to Section 3's fauna register and to Section 13's observation
loop, with the modern-strata beats queued to Section 19 — and this section cannot see whether those
sections took them, so the assembly pass verifies both directions rather than assuming them. Books
named as MUST-ACQUIRE carry no SRC id by design — they are not in the corpus, and inventing an id
for an unowned book would make the query layer lie. Where the harvest proposed a
controlled-vocabulary member the project has not ratified — an evidence-tier value for
institutional grey literature, a link-type for common-descent fauna relations, a quest_type for any
of the loops these sources feed — this page records the gap and writes around it. Those are rulings
pending, and a reference section is the last place to resolve one by using it.
