Corpus boundary — Wattles v1
Fixed before any extraction (same discipline as the Schopenhauer / Tolstoy builds).
Included
- The Science of Getting Rich (1910) — PROOF WORK, corpus assembled
(sources/sgr_en_units.json: preface + chapters I–XVII, 497 paragraph units,
Gutenberg #59844; publisher back-matter — the NAUTILUS advertisement and
transcriber notes after the Summary — is cut in the build, not in the pool). English is the ORIGINAL text, so it is the evidence pool;
no translation is needed for evidence. RU on the pages is a reading layer,
marked «перевод наш».
Included separately, marked
- The Preface (
section_type: preface) — author self-characterization and the
named philosophical lineage (Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Schopenhauer, Hegel,
Emerson). Cited as context, not as soul core. - The publisher's back-matter (the NAUTILUS advertisement after the Summary) —
not Wattles' argument; excluded from the evidence pool.
Excluded
- Wattles' other books — The Science of Being Well (Gutenberg #33917) and
The Science of Being Great — verified PD, not yet fetched. SGR references
them as "allied sciences"; they get their own corpus when ingested. - The Nautilus magazine articles ("What is Truth?", 1909) — named in the
Preface, not in the ingested corpus. - Later New-Thought reformulations and abridgements (e.g. the 1976 / modern
self-help repackagings, "condensed" editions) — meme-distorted, no clean
edition trace; kept out of the evidence pool. - Quotes attributed to Wattles online without a page in SGR — see
QUOTE_AUTHENTICITY.md.
Reason
SGR is a single compact, complete published work; it is a stable primary source
and is fully in the public domain (Wattles died 1911). The New-Thought reception
around him is heavily paraphrased and re-titled, so everything without an SGR
edition trace stays out of the evidence pool.
