Description
Retain a manuscript siglum and supplied variant marker without identifying a witness.
Text references and observance records depend on an explicit edition, numbering system, time origin, or supplied calendar convention. Literal identifiers can be counted or compared without interpreting a text or establishing a religious observance rule.
Retain a manuscript siglum and supplied variant marker without identifying a witness.
When to use this tool
Use it for manuscript siglum variant marker when the required inputs and conventions are already available.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter siglum, marker, allowedMarkers. Keep parallel arrays aligned and use the stated units and conventions.
- Run the calculation. Correct any input error before interpreting a result.
- Read recognized, key. Inspect any known, defined, inclusion, or boundary flags before interpreting numeric values.
Require a nonempty siglum, check exact marker membership in allowedMarkers, and return JSON.stringify([siglum,marker]) as a composite key.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- Recognition concerns only the supplied marker bank. The key does not identify a manuscript, validate textual scholarship, or interpret a variant.
- The field tables describe structural bounds; the mechanics also state cross-field requirements. Malformed input shapes, disallowed keys, and invalid domains cause input errors. Results must remain finite and within the declared output contract. A successful false flag or zero placeholder is distinct from an error.
- Numeric arithmetic uses binary floating point. Exact comparisons have no hidden tolerance or decimal rounding; negative zero is exported as zero. Decimal-text integer operations retain the exactness specifically stated above.
Alternative or Complementary methods
For manuscript siglum variant marker, check the source records and the supplied rule before comparing the result with another method. Use a separate evidence or method review when arithmetic consistency alone cannot establish the required conclusion.
