The Plerome
The known and the inferred together: attested source traditions form the mainland, and every island of inference stands offshore, anchored to the shore by its evidence.
The dark below is terra incognita - beyond both attestation and warrant; it carries no marks because we have none to place.
The manuscript scriptome is the first quantitative stratum: the same known-mainland and inferred-offshore charter idea, applied to manuscript-production scale rather than individual inferred entities.
