relation family
sequence
assigned, not verified What this family covers, what it fails to cover, and every relation string in the graph that lands in it. A family is assigned: two models read the definitions document and named the same kind of relation, or a person ruled where they did not. Verified is the other layer: a quote checked letter-exact against its paragraph and judged by a model of a different family. That was already done before any of this began.
Definition
Temporal or processual order without becoming, begetting or requirement.
Boundary: transformation/generation entail order — assign the stronger family when the text supports it; "without X, no Y" is dependence (see boundary rules). NO transitivity (uroboros argument).

Checked against readers of Jung
Checked against 8 works of scholarship: across the sample, 8 of 16 treated items agreed with our family. The sample did not reach this family.the whole table

These families are this project's classification. They are calibrated inside this repository, checked once against outside scholarship on a small sample, and endorsed by nobody. What the layer records is how we sorted relations Jung wrote: a map of assertions, not a reading of him.
