  • Ether references: Verify exact wording before drawing conclusions. Ether language must be separated from later interpretive systems.
  • Ether references: If Steinmetz mentions ether, quote only the verified source words first; any broader ether-field synthesis belongs in a labeled interpretive layer.
  1. Open the full source text and the scan or raw PDF.
  2. Verify the chapter boundary and surrounding context.
  3. Promote exact quotations only after checking the source image.
  4. Move mathematical candidates into canonical equation pages only after formula typography is corrected.
  5. Move diagram candidates into the diagram archive only after image extraction, crop verification, and manifest creation.
  6. Keep Steinmetz wording, modern translation, and ether-field interpretation in separate labeled layers.
