Who Gets to Speak

Four takes on the speech boundary: an agreement that may be an instruction, access to people, the options you are allowed to see, and what an intrusion does to a household.

What depth means here

Nothing about credibility. Stops sit on one line in reading order, exactly as on the flat map. A connection between neighbouring stops runs along that line. A connection that skips stops arcs away from it, and each arc takes its own lane so that arcs never cross or overlap. The direction and distance of an arc, the size of a stop, the thickness of a line and any movement of the camera carry no meaning: they do not signal credibility, certainty, corroboration or importance. The kind of connection is shown only by its colour and dash pattern, named in the legend and beside every connection in the list below. Everything in this view is also in the flat map and in the published reader.

What the connection labels mean

Documented
The connection is in the source itself: the same passage, the speaker carrying one idea into the next stretch of the conversation, or the speaker making the link himself elsewhere in the same conversation. The record supports the link; it doesn't prove the claim.
The same figure, account or claim turns up in more than one source. That's the story travelling, not two independent witnesses.
Thematic
My grouping. Different sources asking a similar question, placed side by side because thinking about them together is useful.
Hypothesis
My proposal. A join that neither source makes; I'm making it, and I say so where it happens.

The labels do one job: they tell you whether a connection is in the source record, is the same account turning up twice, is my grouping, or is my guess. None of them turns two takes into proof of each other.
