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.
The 'fourth generation' watch-word across every era of the corpus - vision, prophecy, sealed prophecy, Samuel, and now the Lord's own sorrow. Five legs: 1 Nephi 12:12 ('many of the fourth generation who passed away in righteousness'), 2 Nephi 26:9 ('many of the fourth generation shall have passed away in righteousness'), Alma 45:12 (this far end - the fourth generation and 'this great iniquity'), Helaman 13:10 ('those of the fourth generation shall visit your destruction'), and 3 Nephi 27:32 (Christ sorrows over the fourth generation who 'will sell me for silver and for gold'). Paired with Alma 45:12; both join the fourth generation to its fall into iniquity. No verbal-closeness ranking is claimed among the five. The narrative-clock leg is registered as 4ne-generation-clock (4 Nephi 1:18 <-> 3 Nephi 27:32, interpretive, mormon.md -- 4 Nephi never numbers a 'fourth generation', so the fulfillment-track reading stays hedged); the destruction lands in Mormon 6-8 and the messiah.md watchword section now carries the arrival. Alma 45:12 sits adjacent to Alma 45:11, which anchors alma-extinction-dwindle (interpretive, alma-the-younger.md); that record is not addressed here. The phrase 'son of perdition' (27:32) is a corpus-first title. The phrase 'fourth generation' also appears at Mosiah 13:13 - the Decalogue's 'unto the third and fourth generations', a different idiom (Abinadi reciting Sinai), not a leg of this watchword.
