The same Loeb plague-plot prints guilt-as-cause as a rival to shared clinical explanation

Low-confidence rival to clinical capacity. In the causal graph this event weakens Health-System Capacity, a driver that strengthens Hospital beds (per 1,000 people) — a worsening welfare path.

Read the full account

OT in English can be taught as if finding the guilty ends a plague. Low-confidence rival to clinical capacity.

Context

Twin of transmission row. Modest.

Sophocles is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

Why it matters

Printed guilt-plague is not a 5th-century hospital.

Who was responsible

Contribution type and responsibility level for each recorded actor — not sole-author shorthand.

  • Sophocles

    Person

    Direct responsibility

    responsibility level 0.16 · verified

    Transmitted plays under his name plus later editors, actors, or states. Complex, not an autograph of 441.

What changed

Fact → Driver → Indicator. Relationship strength orders the paths; it is not the observed indicator movement.

What the sources establish

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself. Confidence is stated on the impact path. A later English edition is not a recovered autograph. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.
