Transformations

• Removed the rendered Wikisource wrapper and the work-specific excluded matter recorded in the source manifest.
• Preserved source wording, spelling, punctuation, order, and plain-text emphasis markers.
• Normalised mechanical whitespace and line wrapping, while preserving diagrams and tables verbatim.
• Added semantic section files, stable routes, source-fragment links, and deterministic anchors.
• Preserved the frozen Wikisource transcription except for exact, count-bound corrections recorded against the original scan.
• Converted bracket-number note markers and definitions into stable section-local Markdown footnotes.
• Removed Wikisource navigation, licensing chrome, edit controls, and page-number spans while preserving the complete article.
• Converted the proofread page transcription and thirteen notes into deterministic clean text and Markdown footnotes.
• Normalised mechanical whitespace without modernising wording, spelling, punctuation, or emphasis.
