Historical sequence
The thread changes shape.
The timeline keeps source families separate so later images, architecture, and creature systems cannot overwrite earlier textual silence.
- 01
Commentarial and narrative layers separated
The Samantapasadika baseline is authenticated independently, while Jataka narrative geography is kept from silently rewriting it.
- 02
Saratthadipani builds a larger dossier
The connected Anotatta drainage dossier becomes a major source layer, with explicit inherited material and controlled limits.
- 03
Anavatapta varies across witnesses
S01, S03, and S07 preserve different dimensions, relations, and grammatical claim strengths.
- 04
Sacred geography is localized
Chinese materials create learned geographic links that should be compared rather than treated as universal corrections.
- 05
Sacred water becomes architecture
Neak Pean shows how Anavatapta-related water imagination can become built ritual space.
- 06
Traiphum cosmography regionalizes the world
Thai cosmographic traditions reorganize inherited material into a regional Buddhist frame.
- 07
Berlin Traiphum makes the world visible
The manuscript images show a dense later Thai visual witness that must remain bounded by review.
- 08
Creatures become public taxonomy
Court, architectural, funerary, and artistic systems make Himmapan creatures highly visible.
- 09
Comparison without collapse
The archive preserves continuity, conflict, silence, and later transformation as the real public story.
