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.
• Converted the frozen rendered Wikisource HTML into deterministic clean text while preserving paragraph order, emphasis, punctuation, special characters, and the source note.
• Corrected one checksum-bound Greek accent from Wikisource’s είδος to the scan’s εἶδος; the exact replacement and evidence location are recorded in source-corrections.json.
• Compared the complete selected text against the exact 1903 Mind issue scan and bound its paragraph anchors to printed pp. 433-453.
• Recorded the inferred p. 433 label rather than presenting it as a directly legible numeral.
