(* RG 475-476 (docs/research/LT.txt, grep "dicitur symbolum"; scan1.txt line
~3872-3888), quoted here in full so every branch below can cite its own
letter without re-quoting the whole rubric:
"475. Post Evangelium aut homiliam, dicitur symbolum:
a) in qualibet dominica, etsi eius Officium alicui festo locum
cedat, vel Missa votiva II classis celebretur;
b) in festis I classis et in Missis votivis I classis;
c) in festis II classis Domini et B. Mariae Virg.;
d) per octavas Nativitatis Domini, Paschatis et Pentecostes, etiam
in festis occurrentibus et in Missis votivis;
e) in festis nataliciis Apostolorum et Evangelistarum, necnon in
festis Cathedrae S. Petri et S. Barnabae Ap.
476. Non dicitur symbolum:
a) in Missis sive chrismatis sive in Cena Domini, feria V
Hebdomadae sanctae, et in Missa Vigiliae paschalis;
b) in festis II classis, iis exceptis quae supra, n. 475 c et e,
recensentur;
c) in Missis votivis II classis;
d) in Missis festivis et votivis III et IV classis;
e) ratione alicuius commemorationis in Missa occurrentis;
f) in Missis defunctorum."
SCOPE NOTE, checked once here rather than at every clause below: this
engine resolves ONE observed office and ONE Mass per civil day (see
Rite.t.readings' own doc comment) -- it has no separate "which votive
Mass is said" dimension. So the "vel/et...votivis" halves of 475(a)/(b),
476(c) entirely, and 476(d)'s "et votivis" half are genuinely
inapplicable to this implementation -- a documented scope limit, not a
defect. 476(e) needs no branch at all: [creed] below reads only
[observed], never a day's admitted commemorations, so a commemoration

476(f) ("in Missis defunctorum") is DIFFERENT: this file used to carry
it in the same "not modelled" list above, on the reasoning that
[creed]'s inputs (temporal/observed/date) have no notion of "this Mass
is a Requiem". That reasoning was wrong, found by the LMS Ordo layer
(test_lms_ordo.ml, allow-list entry L1, now closed -- see
expected-divergences-lms.sexp) on 2025-11-03, All Souls' Day: colitur
said the Creed where the Ordo, correctly, does not. [observed] DOES
carry a usable signal -- RG 117 assigns black to Masses of the dead,
and {!Colour.Black} is used by exactly TWO celebrations in this whole
engine, verified by grepping every [colour Black]/[Colour.Black] site
in lib/ and data/: [commemoration-of-all-souls] in
data/ef/sanctoral.sexp, and Good Friday in temporal_ef.ml (which is a
Holy Week FERIA, RG 23(b), already excluded by the [n >= -6 && n <=
-1] branch below regardless of colour, and has no Mass at all in the
1955-restored Holy Week). So on every day this engine can actually
construct, [colour = Black] if and only if the Mass is a Requiem --
a citable implication ON THIS DATA, not a heuristic guess. [creed]
below uses it as 476(f)'s own guard. This is a PROXY, not a general
"is this a Requiem Mass" field, and it is only as good as that
two-member population: {!test_rubrics_ef}'s own
[test_colour_black_population_is_exactly_two] fails loudly the day a
third [Colour.Black] celebration is added anywhere, so the proxy
cannot silently rot into covering (or missing) a non-Requiem black
Mass. If that ever happens, this guard needs re-deriving, not merely
re-approving. *)

(* RG 475(e): "in festis nataliciis Apostolorum et Evangelistarum, necnon in
festis Cathedrae S. Petri et S. Barnabae Ap." NATALICIUM means the feast
of the saint's own death (dies natalis) -- not every feast that merely
names him. That is precisely why the clause has to name the Chair of St
Peter and St Barnabas EXPLICITLY: neither is a natalicium (Peter's own is
29 June, shared with Paul; Barnabas's is his own day, 11 June, but the
clause names him anyway, redundantly with the natalicium reading, rather
than leave it to inference), so neither would be covered without the
explicit "necnon".
DERIVED, not copied from any list supplied with this task: grepped
data/ef/sanctoral.sexp directly for every entry whose English or Polish
name mentions "Apostle"/"Evangelist"/"Aposto{l/ł}a", then each
candidate's own date, rank and status checked against the calendarium
and against whether it is that saint's own dies natalis. Every entry
below was cross-checked against the shipped data, not assumed:
andrew (30 Nov, Class2) -- his natalicium.
barnabas (11 June, Class3) -- named explicitly; also his own natalicium.
bartholomew (24 Aug, Class2) -- his natalicium.
chair-of-st-peter (22 Feb, Class2) -- named explicitly ("Cathedrae S.
Petri"); NOT a natalicium (Peter's own is 29 June, shared with Paul)
-- exactly why the clause has to name it.
james-the-greater (25 July, Class2) -- his natalicium.
john-the-evangelist (27 Dec, Class2) -- his natalicium (the one Apostle
traditionally held to have died a natural death; "natalicium" still
names his own feast day, not only a martyr's).
luke-the-evangelist (18 Oct, Class2) -- his natalicium.
mark (25 April, Class2) -- the Evangelist ("Marka Ewangelisty" in the
data's own Polish name); NOT "mark-i" (7 Oct), a different saint (a
Pope), excluded.
matthew (21 Sep, Class2) -- Apostle and Evangelist, his natalicium.
matthias (24 Feb, Class2) -- his natalicium.
sts-peter-paul (29 June, Class1) -- the natalicium of both.
sts-philip-james (11 May, Class2) -- the natalicium of both (James the
Less; there is no separate "james-the-less" entry in the data).
sts-simon-jude (28 Oct, Class2) -- the natalicium of both.
thomas (21 Dec, Class2) -- his natalicium.
Checked and DELIBERATELY EXCLUDED (the Trap this clause is built around):
conversion-of-st-paul (25 Jan, Class3) -- not a natalicium: it
commemorates an EVENT of his life, not his death.
in-commemoratione-sancti-pauli-apostoli (30 June, Class3, status
Feast, so it CAN be observed, unlike the two entries below) -- a
secondary commemoration of Paul, not his dies natalis (his own is 29
June, with Peter); its own name says so ("In Commemoratione", not a
feast of his martyrdom).
"peter" (25 Jan) and "paul" (22 Feb) -- both status
[Commemoration_only] (RG 110's own Peter/Paul companions, on the
Conversion and Chair days respectively: {!Precedence_ef.disposition}'s

Sacred Triduum, Thursday-Saturday, is a THIRD sub-case of this same
"feria", not a "festum": RG 35, immediately below in Caput VI,
defines "festum" as a distinct liturgical-day category from "feria",
RG 21-27) are FERIAE, never FESTA, however high their RG 91 rank --
so 475(b)/(c)'s "in festis" never reaches them, regardless of rank.
This single structural check subsumes 476(a)'s own explicit naming
of the Chrism Mass, the Mass of the Lord's Supper (both Holy
Thursday) and the Easter Vigil Mass (Holy Saturday's date): both are
already excluded here as Holy Week feriae, so 476(a) needs no
separate branch. (Good Friday needs no rubric at all -- RG 28's own
closing sentence on the Paschal Vigil aside, Good Friday's own
liturgical action has no Mass in the 1955-restored Holy Week to
begin with, so the question is moot there independent of this
check -- but this structural test correctly excludes it too, since
it is also named in RG 23(b).)
RG 24-25 (immediately following, same Caput IV) name TWO MORE
ferial classes this branch does not reach: feriae II classis (RG
24 -- the Advent ferias 17-23 December, and the Quatuor Temporum
sets of Advent, Lent and September) and feriae III classis (RG 25
-- the numbered Lenten/Passiontide ferias from the Thursday after
Ash Wednesday to the Saturday before Passion Sunday II, and the
un-Embered Advent ferias to 16 December). NEITHER is excluded by a
check anywhere in this module -- this branch and RG 33's vigil
branch immediately below are the whole of what [creed] tests
before falling through to 475(b)/(c)/(e)'s own rank/subject/slug
guards. They do not need an explicit exclusion of their own for
475(b): temporal_ef.ml's own [ferial_rank] never returns [Class1]
for them (only Ash Wednesday and Holy Week do, RG 23's own population,
already excluded above), so that branch is unreachable for them
regardless of anything checked here. But RG 24's own II-class set
DOES reach 475(c)'s [Class2] guard below, and 475(e)'s
apostle-slug guard carries no rank floor at all, so both classes
genuinely reach a live branch of this function. Getting [false]
there is NOT established by this exclusion, or by any check in
this file: it rests on an unstated property of {!Temporal_ef} --
every ferial-origin office it builds carries [subject = Temporal]
and an "ef-"-prefixed slug, never [Lord]/[Bvm] or a name on
{!creed_apostle_slugs}. Verified directly in temporal_ef.ml: the
Ember/Rogation/generic-ferial branches all go through [build]'s
own default [subject = Temporal], with exactly two documented
exceptions, neither able to reach a live branch below -- the
Sacred Triduum ([subject = Lord], but [Class1], already excluded
above) and the votive Office of the BVM on Saturday, RG 91 entry
27 ([subject = Bvm], but [Class4], never satisfying 475(c)'s own
[Class2] guard).
(CORRECTED, review fix: this comment, and 475(b)'s own immediately
below, previously read as though "the two exclusions immediately
above" disposed of ferias in general -- they dispose of feria I
classis only. RG 24/25's own higher classes were excluded by NO
check, an unstated-invariant gap now named here rather than
silently relied on: test/test_rubrics_ef.ml's own ferial-invariant
sweep now asserts the Temporal_ef property above directly against
real output, so a future change that broke it would fail that
test rather than silently changing the Creed.) *)

reach a vigil either, regardless of its own RG 91 rank. This is also
why 476(a) has to name the Easter Vigil explicitly: RG 28's own
closing sentence says the Paschal Vigil, uniquely, "non sit dies

"vigilia" in RG 29-32's numbered sense -- nothing else in this

contradiction of 237(b)'s own Septuagesima/Sexagesima/Quinquagesima
exception. That evidence was ITSELF corrupted: tools/extract_fiuv_
ordo.ml's own Te Deum parser recognised only ONE of the source's two
negative phrasings ("non dicitur Te Deum"), so every "sine Te Deum"
occurrence -- which is how the source actually negates a SUNDAY's
own Te Deum, found only by reading the raw pdftotext dump by hand,
not by trusting the fixture's own coverage counts -- fell through to
a bare "Te Deum" substring match and was wrongly recorded [true].
Fixed in the extractor (see its own citation, tools/extract_fiuv_
ordo.ml); the fixture was regenerated; 24 of the fixture's 400 rows
flipped, EVERY ONE true->false, EVERY ONE a day this branch or
237(b) below governs. The blanket rule was reverted the moment the
corrected data confirmed the ORIGINAL literal reading instead:
238(a)'s own window DOES silence Advent/Septuagesima/Lent/
Passiontide Sundays after all. Left as a worked example, not
scrubbed from history: the failure mode was believing a clean-

ordinary weeks of Paschaltide (Rogation Monday/Tuesday included).

this point every named Paschaltide day, every ordinary Sunday
(Class2, outside Septuagesima), every vigil, every feria I classis,
every Christmastide/Paschaltide feria and every BVM Saturday Office
has already been excluded or granted above, so what reaches here is
exactly: {!Temporal_ef.named}'s remaining population
(Epiphany, Ascension, Corpus Christi, the Sacred Heart, Christ the
King -- tested by PRESENCE in that table, since every [named] entry
carries [subject = Temporal] like any other, see [creed]'s own
475(c) comment); and every genuine sanctoral feast actually observed
([subject = Saint], or one of the handful of [subject = Lord]/[Bvm]
entries -- Holy Family, Holy Name of Jesus, the six [Lord]-tagged
sanctoral feasts, [most-holy-name-of-mary] -- [creed]'s own 475(c)
comment has the full census). The two ferial exceptions that ALSO
carry [Lord]/[Bvm] (the Sacred Triduum, the BVM Saturday Office) are
unreachable here: both were already excluded above (feria I
classis; 237(g)).
[Temporal_ef.named]'s FIRST disjunct EXCLUDES Passion Sunday and
Palm Sunday BY THEIR OWN SLUG -- not by [temporal.weekday <> Sun],
which a first pass of this fix tried and had to REVERT: Christ the
King is ALSO always a Sunday (its own [christ_the_king] anchor
IS "the last Sunday of October"), [Class1] like Passion/Palm
Sunday, so a blanket weekday guard wrongly excluded it too --
caught immediately by the LMS Ordo's own Gloria axis
(2024-10-27, "colitur gloria=false, Ordo gloria=true"), a
regression a same-session review round found before this task
closed. Passion Sunday and Palm Sunday are excluded because
neither is a genuine "festum" (RG 35's own taxonomy makes
"dominica" its own category, distinct from "festum") -- {!Temporal_
ef.named} carries them anyway (RG 91 entry 6, for its own
occurrence-table reasons), so without SOME exclusion both would
wrongly reach [true] here BY ACCIDENT of table membership --
confirmed wrong directly against the corrected FIUV extraction
(237(a)'s own comment above has the full account of the extractor
bug this was found alongside): both dates are [false] in the
source. Epiphany, Ascension, Corpus Christi, the Sacred Heart and
Christ the King -- {!Temporal_ef.named}'s only OTHER population --
are genuine festa and must NOT be excluded, which is exactly why
the exclusion is two named slugs, not a day-of-week predicate. The
SECOND disjunct (subject) carries no such guard: a genuine feast
that has fully displaced a Sunday's own Office (RG16(a)) still
deserves 237(c)'s grant on the FEAST's own terms, regardless of
what day of the week it falls on.
A plain, unnamed weekday feria (no Sunday, no vigil, no octave,
[named] = [None], [subject = Temporal]) correctly falls through to
[false] here -- 238(c)'s own "in omnibus feriis". *)

SCOPE NOTE, checked once here rather than at every clause, the same
discipline [creed]'s own header uses: this engine resolves ONE Mass per
civil day (Rite.t.readings' own doc comment) -- it has no separate
"which votive Mass is said" dimension. n. 301-303 (LT.txt, immediately
above 431), quoted in substance: 301 defines "Missa de festo" in the
NARROW sense as the Mass of the day's own Office -- exactly what
[Rite_ef.Lectionary_ef.readings] already resolves for every day,
including a BORROWED formulary (a weekday resuming the preceding
Sunday's Mass, a saint using his assigned Common): still "the Mass which
corresponds to the day's own Office" in 431(a)/432(a)'s own sense, so
431(a)/432(a) alone already cover it. 302's WIDER sense -- (a) a
III-class feast's own Mass said despite being impeded by another
III-class feast, (b) a commemoration's own Mass said in place of the
day's Office, (c) a saint's Mass said on his Martyrology elogium day --
are all cases of a DIFFERENT Mass than the day's own resolved Office
being said, which this engine does not model; 431(b) is therefore
genuinely N/A, not merely unread. 431(d)/(e) and 432(c) are about VOTIVE
MASS CLASSES (I-IV), a dimension this engine has no field for at all --
also N/A, EXCEPT 431(e)'s own "de B. Maria Virg. quae in sabbato
celebrantur" half: colitur does not model that Office as a votive Mass
(it has no votive-Mass dimension to model it AS), it models it as an
ORDINARY Office (RG 78's own text, [te_deum]'s own 237(g) branch above),
so its Gloria is produced as a side effect of 431(a) reading [te_deum],
not by a dedicated 431(e) branch -- checked directly: [te_deum]'s 237(g)
branch is unconditional (not colour-gated), and this Office's own colour
is white (never violet), so 432(b) below can never suppress it either.
431(e)'s "de Angelis" half (the votive Mass of the Angels) has no data
in this engine at all and stays N/A. *)

exclusion below and before [te_deum] is ever read: this clause is
lex specialis over both. It must outrank 432(b) specifically

[Colour.Violet] (Passiontide's [season_colour], temporal_ef.ml --

Gloria itself, a per-action nuance this whole day/colour model
already cannot express, the same acknowledged gap RG 126's palm
procession and RG 128's Good Friday Communion carry, temporal_ef.ml's
own citations) -- without this clause checked first, 432(b) would
wrongly silence the one Mass whose own Gloria is historically
unmistakable (the bells and organ restored at the Vigil). It must
also outrank [te_deum]: neither day's own Matins says Te Deum
(both are governed by [te_deum]'s own feria-I-classis exclusion,

of this task, WHILE the (since-reverted) blanket "every Sunday

and Laetare ([is_rose_sunday]) wrongly getting [gloria]=true and
fixed it by unioning [Colour.Rose] into this branch. Once
[te_deum] reverted to 237(b)'s own literal [Class2] guard, the
fix became REDUNDANT, not merely coincidentally silent: Rose can
ONLY ever colour a Sunday of Advent or Lent
({!Temporal_ef.is_rose_sunday}'s own two cases), and EVERY Sunday
of Advent or Lent is [Class1] BY CONSTRUCTION

Class1 | _ -> Class2]) -- a structural guarantee, not a
coincidence of the shipped data, so [te_deum]'s own [Class2] guard
ALREADY excludes every Rose day before this branch is ever
reached. Verified, not assumed: removing this branch's own Rose
arm and re-running the full suite (including the two LMS dates,
2023-12-17 and 2024-03-10, this finding was originally pinned
against) left every test green. Left out rather than kept as
dead code that would misleadingly read as load-bearing. *)

THE SHAPE OF THE RULE, once, rather than at every branch: RG 482's own
chain is "propria, else de Tempore, else communis". Read literally, 484-
497 look like FOURTEEN SEPARATE RULES, but on inspection each numbered
rubric's own (a)/(b) pair (where it has both) produces the SAME preface
identity either way -- (a) is the propria reading ("this Mass's OWN
preface"), (b) is the de-Tempore reading ("this OTHER Mass, lacking one
of its own, borrows it") -- so for the single question this function
answers (WHICH preface, not WHETHER it counts as propria or de Tempore
for some other purpose) the two halves collapse into one PRIORITY-
ORDERED decision: a fixed list of "genuinely proper" triggers (title/
mystery feasts, independent of season), checked first in a citable
order, falling through to a fixed list of SEASONAL windows, falling
through to [Common]. RG 483 (a commemoration never induces a proper)
holds by construction, the same way [creed]'s own 476(e) does: every
branch below reads only [observed], never a day's admitted
commemorations.
THE PRIORITY ORDER ITSELF was cross-checked against 358 real,
individually classifiable entries in the FIUV Ordo's own [praef] column
(test/fixtures/fiuv-ordo-2025-2026.sexp, test_fiuv_ordo.ml) spanning the
WHOLE liturgical year -- not merely derived from the Latin text in
isolation. Two findings the plain text alone would not have settled,
both empirically confirmed rather than assumed:
- 484(b)'s own "exceptis iis Missis quae praefationem propriam de
divinis mysteriis vel Personis habent" is NARROWER than every other
window's implicit "unless it already has a genuine proper" -- St
John the Evangelist (27 December, on {!creed_apostle_slugs}, so his
OWN Apostles preface (497) would otherwise apply) is overridden to
[Nativity] inside the octave (confirmed: the Ordo's own 27 December
entry reads "de Nativ.", not "App."), while St Barnabas/Sts Philip &
James/the other Apostles OUTSIDE the octave keep their own Apostles
preface even inside another window (Sts Philip & James, 11 May,
inside the Easter window: confirmed "App." in the Ordo, not
"Pasch."). So [Apostles] is checked AFTER the Nativity window below,
but every OTHER title trigger (Holy Cross/Sacred Heart/Christ the
King/Trinity/St Joseph/BVM) is checked BEFORE it -- RG 484(b)'s own
narrower carve-out, read literally: unreachable on the shipped
calendar for the other five (no such feast falls 25 December-5
January), so this ordering is defensive for them, not observed live,
the same "checked, not merely assumed" discipline
{!Precedence_ef.marian_slugs}'s own citation follows elsewhere.
- RG 495's own "et votivis" half is live on this engine's data after
all, for the ONE office this project already models as a votive-
shaped Mass without a votive-Mass DIMENSION (RG 78/91 entry 27, the
Saturday Office of the BVM, {!Temporal_ef}'s own [subject = Bvm]
tag): confirmed directly (3 January and 10 January 2026, both the
Saturday Office, both read "BMV" in the Ordo) -- including on 3
January, itself inside the Nativity's own "2 ad 5 ianuarii" de-
Tempore window, where BVM still wins, corroborating the same
"genuine propria outranks every window" ordering the Apostles
finding above established from the opposite direction.
Good Friday's own printed [praef] text ("comm. Feria VI prima in
mense.") was NOT used to check this function's own [None] answer for
that day: {!test_fiuv_ordo.ml}'s own F1 (Gloria) already adjudicated
this exact date's raw text as unreliable (a copied, not a considered,
line -- see that allow-list entry's own citation for the full argument,
confirmed against the PDF's own page image, not merely the extracted
fixture) -- the same defect, read again, would apply equally to
whatever trails "praef." on the identical corrupted line, so this
function's [None] rests on RG 28's own "no Mass" structural argument
alone (the same argument [creed]/[gloria]/[te_deum] already give for
this date), not on any Ordo corroboration. *)
(* RG 487(a): the two GENUINE fixed-date feast triggers in the shipped
universal calendar -- the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (14 September)
and the Most Precious Blood (1 July), both [subject = Lord]. RG 487(a)'s
own further-named categories ("de Passione Domini et instrumentis
Passionis Domini, de Ss.mo Redemptore") have NO corresponding entry
anywhere in data/ef/sanctoral.sexp (checked directly, grepping for
"instrument"/"redeem": zero hits) -- genuinely absent from the shipped
1962 universal calendar, not merely unmatched by this list, so they are

May) -- both [subject = Saint], so (unlike RG 495's own BVM feasts) no

whole of what RG 496 can ever reach on shipped data. *)

NATALICIIS Apostolorum...", that module's own citation), but RG 497 has
no such restriction at all ("in Missis festivis et votivis Apostolorum
et Evangelistarum" -- ANY festive/votive Mass of an Apostle or
Evangelist). FOUND, not assumed: the FIUV Ordo's own 30 June entry
("In Commemoratione S. Pauli Ap.", data/ef/adjustments.sexp's own RG
110(c) [Add], {!Precedence_ef}'s own citation -- a genuine [Feast]-
status office of Paul the Apostle, but NOT his own dies natalis, so
{!creed_apostle_slugs} deliberately excludes it) reads "App. I", not
"comm." -- checked directly while building this comparison, not
guessed. [creed_apostle_slugs] itself is UNCHANGED (RG 475(e)'s own
narrower "natalicium" reading still holds for the Creed); this is a
SEPARATE, wider list for RG 497 alone.
"conversion-of-st-paul" (25 January, Class3, the SAME "not a
natalicium" shape {!creed_apostle_slugs}'s own citation excludes it
for) is a SECOND member, by the identical RG 497 reasoning --
NOW WITNESSED (Preface-witnesses task, 2026-08-23): unlike
{!test_fiuv_ordo.ml}'s own single-year window (where 25 January falls
on a Sunday, hence impeded), the Latin Mass Society Ordo's own THREE
editions (test/test_lms_ordo.ml) each carry an UNIMPEDED 25 January --
two of them fall outside a Sunday (2024, 2025) and both read "Pr of
the Apostles" for the Conversion of St Paul, confirmed directly
against two INDEPENDENT civil years, not merely two printings of the
same one (the third, 2026, is impeded by a Sunday exactly like FIUV's
own witness year -- the same date, the same reason, an entirely
different underlying calendar fact confirmed twice over, not a
coincidence). Added on this evidence.
A FOURTH and FIFTH informal confirmation, from a SECOND, independent
publisher (extraordinaryform.org's own three annual PDFs,
docs/research/ordo/2024-2025Ordo.pdf / 2025-2026Ordo.pdf /
2026-2027Ordo.pdf -- characterised, not wired in as an automated layer;
see the Preface-witnesses task's own report for why): its own per-day
PREFACE table column reads "Apostles" for the Conversion of St Paul on
BOTH of its own unimpeded years, 2025-01-25 and 2027-01-25 (its middle
edition's 2026-01-25 is impeded by a Sunday, the identical fact the
other two sources already independently establish) -- a spot check,
not a fixture, but a real cross-publisher agreement on the exact
question this list answers.
SURVEYED, not merely patched: every other Apostle/Evangelist-named
slug in data/ef/sanctoral.sexp was checked against this same
three-edition LMS witness before deciding this list needed exactly
one addition, not more:
- "dedication-of-the-basilicas-of-sts-peter-paul" (18 November,
Class3) is Peter and Paul's own BASILICAS, not the Apostles
themselves -- confirmed NOT an RG 497 trigger in all three LMS
editions, identical across all three ("Pr of the Dedication of a
Church or Common Pr"), corroborating {!preface_bvm_slugs}'s own
"Dedication of a Church" finding rather than RG 497: this feast's
own subject is the building, governed by the SAME non-RG-482
"extra" preface every other church dedication uses (RG 91 entry
27's own header has the fuller account of this Ordo's option-list
shape).
- "vigil-of-sts-peter-paul" (28 June) reads "Common Pr" in the LMS
Ordo (2024-2025 edition, checked directly) -- confirming, not
merely assuming, this branch's own long-standing "no [is_vigil]
guard needed, no entry here is ever a vigil slug" comment below:
a vigil is not a "festum... votiva" either, the identical RG 21/35
taxonomy {!preface_bvm_slugs}'s own [is_vigil] guard already
states for the BVM branch above.
- No other Peter/Paul/John/Andrew/James/Philip/Bartholomew/Thomas/
Matthew/Jude/Simon/Matthias/Mark/Luke/Barnabas-named slug in the
shipped data names an Apostle or Evangelist at all (checked by
grepping every slug in data/ef/sanctoral.sexp against those ten
names): the rest are unrelated same-named saints (e.g. "mark-i", a
Pope, {!creed_apostle_slugs}'s own citation; "sts-john-paul", two
Roman martyrs unrelated to the Evangelist and the Apostle) or
genuinely unreachable RG 110 companions ("peter"/"paul",

checked standard, and its own citation explicitly EXCLUDES "dedication-

Dedication of St Mary Major answers on its own title alone, without
needing the oration-level standard RG 112(d) requires. FOUND, not

own (RG 78/91 entry 27, the Saturday Office of the BVM -- this
file's own header has the empirical confirmation, 3/10 January

citation), and it never carries [subject = Bvm] (tagged [Lord]
instead, register §6.0) -- RG 495's own "praeterquam in festo
Purificationis" exclusion therefore holds by construction, not by
a guard written here.

category, distinct from 'festum'"), applied here for the first
time in THIS function because it is the first branch a vigil can
actually reach: {!Precedence_ef.marian_slugs} includes
"vigil-of-the-assumption" (that list's own citation), which without
this guard would wrongly claim [Bvm] for 14 August. FOUND, not

"BMV" -- checked directly, the same as every other finding in this
branch's own history. Corroborates, from the opposite direction,
{!creed}'s own RG 28-34 comment: colitur's own Nativity WINDOW
below already excludes 24 December (the Nativity Vigil) by
construction (it starts at 25 December, never 24th), so this guard

required it to equal [Class2], which is wrong for the identical RG
16(a) reason {!Precedence.rules.admit}'s own [~temporal] parameter
exists and [creed]'s own 237(b)/475(a) comments already give: a
feast that has WON the day can carry a different rank than the
Sunday it stands on. FOUND, not assumed: All Saints' Day (1
November), Class1, observed outright over an ordinary
Time-after-Pentecost Sunday it commemorates
([+ef-time-after-pentecost-sunday-23]), reads "Trinit." in the
Ordo -- [observed.rank] there is [Class1], so the OLD guard wrongly
answered [Common]; there is no dedicated preface for All Saints
among RG 484-497's own fourteen, so RG 482's chain correctly falls
through to the SUNDAY's own de-Tempore grant regardless of which
rank actually won the day.
{!Temporal_ef.temporal}'s own [match s with Advent | Lent -> Class1

need no explicit exclusion here: {!creed}'s own RG 23/Lent-window
reasoning already means every one of them is claimed by the LENT
window earlier in this very priority chain, provably unreachable
here, the same "checked, not merely assumed" position the previous
version of this comment already took for Christmastide/Paschaltide
-- confirmed by the SAME domain sweep in test_rubrics_ef.ml, which
still finds zero Christmastide/Paschaltide/Lent days reaching this
