2 Nephi 5:22 · 1 Nephi 12:23
This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
Shared vocabulary is real ('loathsome'; idleness — 12:23 'full of idleness' / 5:24 'an idle people') but kept interpretive: 1 Nephi 12:23's referent is the seed of the brethren generations later, 'after they had dwindled in unbelief', while 2 Nephi 5 narrates the separation itself, and 5:22 is future-conditional. The vision-to-event identification is the unprovable step.
