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 word 'whiteness' occurs at exactly three verses in the record: 1 Nephi 8:11 (the dream's fruit, 'white, to exceed all the whiteness that I had ever seen'), 1 Nephi 11:8 (the vision's tree), and 3 Nephi 19:25 (the transfigured disciples) - all in the same superlative construction; corpus-wide the frozen Pearl of Great Price adds Joseph Smith—History 1:31 ('a whiteness beyond anything earthly I had ever seen'), an angelic-robe description outside that construction. 19:25 shares the exact five-word span 'the whiteness thereof did exceed' with 11:8, and the four-word span 'exceed all the whiteness' with 8:11. Registered on the tree-of-life page because the whiteness-superlative grammar is the dream/vision tree's signature (the family already lives here via alma-seed-grown-tree, Alma 32:42 <-> 1 Nephi 8:11); what the grammatical recurrence at the transfiguration MEANS is not asserted.
