This article describes an entity that is not directly attested. It is an inference from the evidence listed below.
Summary
Codex source-reading decision from the pre-1550 high-value title-prior lane.
What is being inferred
This ledger's inferred object is a patronage-and-construction-sequence ledger for Anuradhapura's major monastic monuments: the claim is that royal patronage episodes and building phases for the Lohapasada and the Great Thupa can be ordered into a coherent sequence, even though no single document states that sequence directly. The specificity is at the level of ordering and attribution, not exact dates or unrecorded details.
What is attested
- Evidence 583 records: The chapter supports a royal-patronage and construction-sequence route for Anuradhapura monuments.
- Evidence 584 records: The chapter supports detailed patronage-sequence reconstruction for Lovamahapaya.
- Evidence 585 records: The chapters support reconstruction of Great Thupa patronage and building sequence, not a directly attested ledger document.
- Evidence 586 records: UNESCO supports the broad monument/monastery context but not a discrete ledger entity.
- Evidence 4188 records: Offline judge treated existing inferon 166 (source_dependence) as support for Anuradhapura monastic monument patronage and sequencing ledger. Evidence strength: bounded but below-publication structural/source inferon; sufficient for L2 review, not for article promotion. The accountable path is EvidencePath 1091.
Why infer this entity
Three successive Mahavamsa chapters carry the reconstruction: Evidence 583 (chapter 17) supports the general royal-patronage and construction-sequence pattern, Evidence 584 (chapter 27) gives a detailed patronage account for the Lohapasada's consecration, and Evidence 585 (chapters 28-29) supports the Great Thupa's preparation and foundation phases specifically as a reconstructed building sequence rather than a directly attested ledger document in itself. Evidence 586, the UNESCO listing, supplies broad monument and monastery context but is explicitly too general to establish a discrete ledger entity on its own, so it functions as background rather than a premise. The packet's one piece of counterevidence, Evidence 587 from LankaPradeepa on Vessagiriya, is decisive for how tightly this claim can be drawn: it warns that some monument identifications in this broader corpus are uncertain, which is why the ledger claim here is scoped to sequence and patronage relationships rather than to secure identification of every named structure.
Evidence ledger
- Evidence 583: Mahavamsa chapter 17, The Arrival of the Relics, chapter 17. The chapter supports a royal-patronage and construction-sequence route for Anuradhapura monuments. Role: Supporting evidence.
- Evidence 584: Mahavamsa chapter 27, The Consecrating of the Lohapasada, chapter 27. The chapter supports detailed patronage-sequence reconstruction for Lovamahapaya. Role: Supporting evidence.
- Evidence 585: Mahavamsa chapters 28-29, Great Thupa preparation and foundation, chapters 28-29. The chapters support reconstruction of Great Thupa patronage and building sequence, not a directly attested ledger document. Role: Supporting evidence.
- Evidence 586: UNESCO Sacred City of Anuradhapura, UNESCO listing. UNESCO supports the broad monument/monastery context but not a discrete ledger entity. Role: Supporting evidence.
- Evidence 587: LankaPradeepa, Vessagiriya, Vessagiriya article. The source warns that some monument identifications are uncertain, increasing reconstruction dependence. Role: Counterevidence.
- Evidence 4188: Offline existing-inferon judge ledger control source, existing_inferon_judge_promote:inferon:166. Offline judge treated existing inferon 166 (source_dependence) as support for Anuradhapura monastic monument patronage and sequencing ledger. Evidence strength: bounded but below-publication structural/source inferon; sufficient for L2 review, not for article promotion. The accountable path is EvidencePath 1091. Role: Noetic interpretation.
Counterarguments
- Evidence 587 weakens or qualifies the inference: The source warns that some monument identifications are uncertain, increasing reconstruction dependence.
Confidence scores
- Direct attestation: 15
- Existence warrant: 72
- Specificity confidence: 58
- Reconstruction dependence: 70
- Counterevidence pressure: 0
What would change the score
- A direct attestation would move this out of the inferred catalogue.
- Stronger independent evidence would raise the warrant or specificity.
- Better counterevidence would lower the warrant or force retirement.
