About this index

Dataset and reviewed rules

Tier 1: derived from the reviewed attendance index and the reviewed country list by the rules below — no inference, no model. Corpus version 51641dad1a4c; 13,241 records. Weighting constants: owner sitting 2026-08-30; constants changed only by a future sitting. raw count everywhere — the count is the fact; ordering is presentation.

Names and terms in the same records

Rule: vocabulary term (aliases OR-folded) x person printed forms (OR-folded), whole-word FTS record co-occurrence

Order: distinctive first (lift) — records * N / (deg_term * deg_person); N = total fts records; degrees = graph_term_records / graph_person_records counts; support floor 5.

SELECT t.slug FROM graph_term_records t JOIN graph_person_records p ON p.slug = t.slug WHERE t.term = :term AND p.person = :person ORDER BY t.slug

People present at the same meetings

Rule: distinct (meeting, group_display) present pairs, grouped; see the builder Attendance is the index's capture: the College complete, staff rows sporadic — a person absent from a sitting's list may simply be unrecorded.

Stored weighting note (verbatim): tenure — served alongside, over which span; must not imply affinity discrimination. overlap coefficient: meetings / min(deg_a, deg_b); degrees = distinct meetings present.

SELECT DISTINCT a.meeting FROM attendance a JOIN attendance b ON b.meeting = a.meeting WHERE a.group_display = :person_a AND b.group_display = :person_b AND a.status = 'present' AND b.status = 'present' ORDER BY a.meeting

derived from the reviewed attendance index and the reviewed country list. Each starter list retains the first 15 entries in the index's degree order, highest first, then by name. People are ordered by meetings recorded present; countries by records naming the term. These record totals are the graph's whole-word FTS counts, not the desk's separately verified mention census.

A page, not an answer: this shows who is associated with a country in the record text. Who was present when a country was on the agenda is a question for the desk — ask it there.
