Perception is explained by films or eidola leaving objects, as later reports of Democritean psychology
Seeing is explained by films off objects in the received account. Democritus’s documented role is: Later psychology reports image-films as his account of seeing. In the causal graph this event strengthens Health-System Capacity, a driver that strengthens Hospital beds (per 1,000 people) — an improving welfare path.

Context
Same atomist school heading. Theophrastus and Aristotle are later witnesses. Named others on the file: Theophrastus as later reporter; Aristotle as critic. The public setting is the file around -0425-01-01. The instrument stays Perception is explained by films or eidola leaving objects, as later reports of Democritean psychology. The setting of Perception is explained by films or eidola leaving objects, as later reports of Democritean psychology is the public file around -0425-01-01. Driver health-system-capacity is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.
Why it matters
Naturalist psychology as teaching. Welfare reading improving. The attached mechanism is A public account of perception is an education path. Lag to any modern indicator is not treated as zero. This path is attached because the mechanism is named from this act, not because a driver list needed coverage. The welfare reading on this path is improving.

What the sources establish
SEP discusses eidola as a received Democritean mechanism. Official: Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy — Democritus, perception (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/democritus/ (opens in a new tab); Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy). Independent: Britannica — Democritus, atomism (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Democritus (opens in a new tab); Encyclopaedia Britannica). The two URLs are different pages. Where the carrier is a later edition or a received narrative, that limit is stated rather than upgraded to an autograph.

Later reports, not a surviving illustrated manual. Established: a sourced public record of Perception is explained by films or eidola leaving objects, as later reports of Democritean psychology under -0425-01-01.
Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. This is psychology-as-reported. Mixed effects of Perception is explained by films or eidola leaving objects, as later reports of Democritean psychology are separate paths.
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.
Shared responsibility is part of Perception is explained by films or eidola leaving objects, as later reports of Democritean psychology. Naming Democritus does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from -0425-01-01 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.
