Partial coverage

Corpus reach

Insufficient evidenceA null is not a zero: it means this object was not reached in that corpus by the lexical, conceptual or ritual predicates counted here. The mention layer's measured recall is 0.8857, so even a reached corpus is a lower bound.

How this record was built2

AN INVENTORY OF 103 RITES, NOT A TAXONOMY. The Ritual class holds 103 nodes against a corpus that names considerably more, so a rank in this list is a rank within 103 and says nothing about Vedic ritual as a whole. Two step layers exist and they are not interchangeable. The Samhita layer holds 3 numbered steps in the entire graph, all on the soma pressing, whose morning, midday and third libations the text itself numbers. The procedural layer holds 3,121 steps over 103 rites, read out of Srautasutras and Grhyasutras rather than Samhita passages, and 94% of them state a position without printing the run it falls in -- so a procedure list is not a complete procedure. All 80 apparatus edges are TIER_D curation, and a rite's 'purpose' is what a curator says it is for, not a purpose clause quoted from a passage.

`passage_count` counts DISTINCT passages reaching the object through the lexical, conceptual and ritual predicates this surface counts, and is the same figure the detail view reports. It is NULL, never 0, where no passage reaches it: the mention layer's measured recall is 0.8857, so a null is a lower bound and not an assertion that the corpus is silent.
