Later Bolshevik seizure of a state is not a Marx autograph of 1917; this catalog refuses to store October as his act

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Lenin remains a neighbouring catalog.

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 Karl Marx does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1883-03-15 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.
