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.
Jacob's allegiance-binary carries the vision's own title for the enemy camp. The exact phrase 'the whore of all the earth' stands at five verses in the record (1 Nephi 14:10, 14:11, 22:13; 2 Nephi 10:16, 28:18; verified by search of the full text). Both verses are universal two-camp statements — 1 Nephi 14:10 divides mankind by membership ('whoso belongeth not to the church of the Lamb of God'), 2 Nephi 10:16 by allegiance ('they who are not for me are against me') — and both name the enemy camp by the shared title. That Jacob is restating the vision's two-church binary in a new key is an interpretive reading, disclosed here; the shared title and the two universal scopes are the textual facts. No verse-pair collision: 1 Nephi 14:10 appears in no other record; 2 Nephi 10:16 is separately registered against 2 Nephi 6:13 (2ne-zion-fight-internal) — distinct pairs. Disclosed 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze: the record-scoped five above is unmoved, but D&C 29:21 carries both of the titles this note keeps apart in one verse — 'the great and abominable church, which is the whore of all the earth'. Hosted on the two-churches essay.
