Paradiso as part of the one Comedy is a public intellect-and-beatitude heading, not a later university and not 33 extra Facts
It is not a later university and not 33 extra Facts. Dante Alighieri's documented role is: The last cantica teaches intellect and beatitude. In the causal graph this event strengthens Digital Learning Access, a driver that weakens Learning Poverty Rate (low- and middle-income countries) — an improving welfare path.
Read the full account
It is not a later university and not 33 extra Facts. Dante Alighieri's documented role is: The last cantica teaches intellect and beatitude. Still one poem. Aquinas neighbourhood is theological reception inside the fiction, not a collaboration.
Context
Thomas Aquinas appears as a named speaker inside the fiction. Sharing that theological neighbourhood without making Aquinas a 1321 co-author is required. Driver edu-digital-learning-access is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.
Why it matters
The welfare reading on this path is improving.
If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Still one poem.
Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.
That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
Naming Dante Alighieri does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1321-03-01 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.
