CQ-004
Recurring motifs.
Independent—or inherited?
Are similarities across channelled records independent, derivative or culturally shared? CQ-004 tests the ancestry of the pattern before interpreting what the pattern might mean.
TEXTUAL RECURRENCE; INDEPENDENCE UNRESOLVED. Similar motifs are visible, but the present register cannot yet show that they arose without shared cultural or documentary pathways.
Claim-level evidence profile
Count lineages.
Not echoes.
UNRESOLVED
Most records still lack complete exposure timelines, citation ancestry and source-access audits.
NOT ESTABLISHED
A repeated motif is not an independent confirmation of its metaphysical explanation.
PLAUSIBLE
Books, traditions, institutions, editors and communities can transmit concepts between apparently separate records.
HIGH
A dependency map can identify genuinely early, specific and potentially independent claims for later testing.
Relationship vocabulary
Five labels for
evidential dependence.
INDEPENDENT
No identified shared observation, text, intermediary or relevant prior exposure after a documented search.
DERIVATIVE
The later record cites, paraphrases, translates or demonstrably develops an earlier source.
SHARED SOURCE
Multiple records trace to the same session, claimant, archive item or underlying observation.
POTENTIALLY CORRELATED
A common institution, research network, editor, community or cultural pathway could connect the records.
UNKNOWN
The information required to assess dependence has not yet been recovered or reviewed.
Preliminary family audit
Known groupings.
Open questions exposed.
These are record-family relationships, not verdicts on individual statements. UNKNOWN means unassessed—not independent.
| Records | Family | Current class | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| CR-004 · CR-005 · CR-006 | Ra / L/L Research | SHARED SOURCE | Series index, version history and one session belong to one underlying corpus; they are not three independent confirmations. |
| CR-011 · CR-012 | Patience Worth | SHARED SOURCE | Two institutional custodians preserve complementary material from one claimant and production history. |
| CR-017 · CR-018 · CR-019 | Cambridge SPR files | POTENTIALLY CORRELATED | Different mediums, but documentation sits within a shared institutional and research network. Claim-level dependence remains to be coded. |
| CR-001 | Edgar Cayce | UNKNOWN | A distinct source family; motif-level chronology and possible prior cultural exposure have not yet been fully audited. |
| CR-002 · CR-003 | Jane Roberts / Seth research | POTENTIALLY CORRELATED | The companion papers document research and reception around the same primary source family. |
| CR-007 · CR-008 · CR-010 | Spiritualist / Theosophical-era texts | UNKNOWN | Chronology is traceable, but shared concepts, reading pathways and direct influence require claim-by-claim analysis. |
| CR-020 | Chico Xavier | UNKNOWN | The municipal record establishes custody and public context, not motif independence or claimed authorship. |
Citation-ancestry protocol
Trace first.
Compare second.
FREEZE THE MOTIF
Define a precise proposition before searching. Broad words such as unity or light are too flexible to establish convergence.
DATE THE EARLIEST RECORD
Locate the earliest recoverable notes, recording, edition or catalogue entry—not merely a later publication date.
MAP POSSIBLE EXPOSURE
Record relevant books, teachers, communities, researchers, editors, translations and media available before the claim.
COLLAPSE DUPLICATES
Treat mirrors, excerpts, translations, editions and multiple custodians of one record as one lineage.
PRESERVE DIFFERENCES
Code contradictions, missing motifs and divergent detail as carefully as apparent matches.
COMPARE ONLY AFTERWARD
Measure similarity only after ancestry and exposure work, then publish the uncertainty with the result.
Relationship to CQ-003 and BQ001
Independence can strengthen a result.
It cannot choose the mechanism.
CQ-004 helps determine whether apparently convergent records deserve separate evidential weight. Even a robust independent pattern would require new tests to distinguish shared psychology, cultural convergence, anomalous information and survival-based interpretations.
