That makes it useful as a comparator. But the current map has no dedicated Baha'i hypothesis seat, so this row should remain context rather than being borrowed to score some other theistic category.</p>\n  <div class=\"plain-english-door__grid\">\n  <div class=\"plain-english-door__panel\">\n    <h4>Why it matters</h4>\n    <p>It explains why recency and documentation matter for comparison.</p>\n  </div>\n  <div class=\"plain-english-door__panel\">\n    <h4>What this does not mean</h4>\n    <p>It does not adjudicate Baha'i claims or use them as a proxy for generic theism.</p>\n  </div>\n  <div class=\"plain-english-door__panel\">\n    <h4>How it pressures the map</h4>\n    <p>It presses the map to handle well-documented newer religions without forcing them into the wrong slot.</p>\n  </div>\n  <div class=\"plain-english-door__panel\">\n    <h4>Go deeper</h4>\n    <p>The Full Dossier weighs documentation, succession, community formation, and current unweighted status.</p>\n  </div>\n  </div>\n</section>\n\n<div class=\"detail-section-heading\">Observation</div>\n<div class=\"detail-article-block\">\n<p><strong>Scriptural corpus and eyewitness attestation belongs to the comparative part of the journey, where difference and similarity both have to be handled without cheap victories.</strong> The ordinary-language version is this: The Baha'i movement's relative recency allows unusually extensive documentation of claims, texts, community formation, and institutional succession. Read it charitably and critically at the same time, because fair comparison requires both sympathy and clear edges. Because this row is unweighted or contextual, its job is to orient the reader rather than to push the totals by itself.</p>\n<p>The basic idea is simple: The Baha'i movement's relative recency allows unusually extensive documentation of claims, texts, community formation, and institutional succession. That is the thing to notice before the technical labels and numbers arrive.</p>\n<p>Comparator rows keep the other voices in the room. The point is not to flatten every tradition into a caricature, but to ask what each one actually explains, where it presses Christianity, and where it has pressure of its own.</p>\n<p>There may be no score attached yet. That is fine: some rows are here to explain the map, preserve context, or wait for better source work before they are weighed.</p>\n\n<p>The Baha'i movement's relative recency allows unusually extensive documentation of claims, texts, community formation, and institutional succession. This is useful comparator context, but the current hypothesis map has no dedicated Baha'i seat, so it should not be proxy-scored under generic OT theism.</p>\n</div>\n\n<div class=\"detail-section-heading\">Background / Context</div>\n<div class=\"detail-article-block\">\n<p>Read this as <strong>Scripture/Text support or interpretive evidence</strong>. Its category path is <strong>World Religions</strong> / <strong>Comparative Religion Context</strong> / <strong>Baha'i</strong>, which helps set expectations for what kind of question this row can answer.</p>\n</div>\n\n<div class=\"detail-section-heading\">Relevance to the Worldview Contest</div>\n<div class=\"detail-article-block\">\n<p>This matters because explanations have habits. Some worlds make this clue feel ordinary; others have to work harder to account for it. The Signal tracks that difference without pretending that one row can settle the whole journey.</p>\n</div>\n\n<div class=\"detail-section-heading\">Competing Explanations</div>\n<div class=\"detail-article-block\">\n<p>No active scored hypothesis is assigned. Treat this as contextual or pending calibration until governance says otherwise.</p>\n</div>\n\n<div class=\"detail-section-heading\">Bayesian Meaning</div>\n<div class=\"detail-article-block\">\n<p>This item currently has no active Bayes factors. Its value is explanatory, contextual, or pending further article/source/hypothesis-seat work.</p>\n</div>\n\n<div class=\"detail-section-heading\">Caveats</div>\n<div class=\"detail-article-block\">\n<ul>\n<li>No Baha'i hypothesis seat is currently approved; proxy scoring under H-GOD-OT was cleared.</li>\n<li>This is a clue, not a verdict. Its force depends on fit with nearby evidence, competing explanations, and the cluster caps already governing the corpus.</li>\n</ul>\n</div>\n\n<div class=\"detail-section-heading\">Citations / Primary Sources</div>\n<div class=\"detail-article-block\">\n<p>Use the citation list attached to this evidence item for source audit. No additional publication details are implied beyond those existing citations.</p>\n</div>",
