The second pamphlet warmth pass. All thirteen files were read; six change, and the pass is lighter than the evidentiality one because this pamphlet already carries real wit ("Particle collecting is an innocent hobby, though not a recognised branch of grammar"; a scope particle "mistaken for a neighbour with no family obligations"; the stack that earns no "small medal for filling it"). The #459 accuracy content is untouched.

The one addition

Part 1 gains the image the pamphlet's own organizing question was reaching for. After "how much of the utterance does this small word affect?" it now answers: "A Slot 0 particle fills the whole room, a Slot 1 particle shapes one deed, and a Slot 2 particle rests a finger on one thing." Room, deed, thing: the three scopes made physical once, at the front, where every later inventory can lean on it.

The hedge work

Five conversions or trims under the ceiling:

  • Part 2 loses the wa-tail ("though the conversation still decides whether that question is welcome"), which duplicated part 9's version of the same thought; the sharper pi observation ("goodwill or pressure with equal grammatical ease") stays.
  • Part 3 loses "Whether that ending is welcome belongs to the event, not the particle."
  • Part 5 loses its closing two-sentence tail, letting the section end on the freedom construction it just taught.
  • Part 9, the heartbeat file with three instances, keeps its most specific one ("Neither sentence borrows moral force from the particles around it") and converts the other two, with "pi marks a polite stance and nothing larger" as the compact replacement.

Kept as content: part 6's "a parsing rule, not a scale from worldly fact to private feeling" (the #459 repair itself), part 1's "It should not be asked to confess more than it knows" (already the offering form with personality), the title page's closing italic, and all ten common-error entries.

Audit

Full protocol. All hard-zero rows at zero; the room-deed-thing triple is the pass's one new triple and maps the three scopes literally. No new Phi citations; baseline in sync. Validator: 1275 entries, 0 errors, 0 warnings. Named finding: none of my draft alternatives for part 9's pi sentence survived the read-aloud test until the shortest one; the first two drafts were conversions that still scanned as tails.

spoken_punctuation follows as the third PR after this one is reviewed.
