A later 1302 condemnation clusters a death penalty if he returns; the scaffold is the commune's, stored as justice-harm

The 1302 condemnation cluster includes death if Dante returns. The instrument is that return-equals-death clause, not a later novel. In the causal graph this event strengthens Judicial independence erosion (court capture), a driver that strengthens Rule of Law Gap from the Highest Governance Score — a worsening welfare path.

Read the full account

The 1302 condemnation cluster includes death if Dante returns. The scaffold is the commune's. The instrument is that return-equals-death clause, not a later novel. Dante Alighieri's documented role is: The commune's sentence threatened death on return. He did not hang himself. High confidence on the public condemnation file as later dated.

Context

The exile row is the displacement. Driver justice-judicial-independence-erosion is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

Why it matters

The welfare reading on this path is worsening.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives.

Naming Dante Alighieri does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1302-03-10 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
