Askesis is later praised as bodily toughness; it is also a public health-risk heading this catalog does not romanticise as a clinic

Exposure is later told as virtue and as risk. In the causal graph this event weakens Health-System Capacity, a driver that strengthens Hospital beds (per 1,000 people) — a worsening welfare path.

Exposure is later told as virtue and as risk. Diogenes of Sinope’s documented role is: Toughness stories include exposure. Not a unique mortality series. Low confidence. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear. Diogenes of Sinope's documented role is: Toughness stories include exposure. Not a unique mortality series. Low confidence.

Context

Street life. Competing death anecdotes sit nearby. Named others on the file: Later moralists who praised toughness. The public setting is the file around -0335-01-01. Driver health-system-capacity is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

Why it matters

Health risk of askesis. Welfare reading worsening. 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 worsening.

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

Low confidence.

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

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

Naming Diogenes of Sinope does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from -0335-01-01 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.
