D-0012 · How far "elsewhere" looks
When the words are not at the cited place, how much of the library is searched for them?
The 100 closest passages by full-text search, over all 4.25 million segments.
| Status | The machine's guess — not yet ruled |
| Set | 20 Tishrei 5787 · 2026-10-01 04:45 |
| Recorded in | experiments/2026-10-01-head-to-head (sefergraph_local.py, K) |
| Rests on | D-0010, D-0011 |
| Affects | whether a quote is "found elsewhere" or "not in the library" |
| Would change if | A quote known to be in the library that the search misses. |
The options on the table
- 100
- 1000
- the whole library
"Not in the library" therefore means "not among the 100 closest" — never "false".
