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.
Interpretive. Mosiah's letter argued the danger of monarchy as a danger of one corrupt person at the top: an unrighteous king 'enacteth laws… after the manner of his own wickedness' and bends justice to his will (Mosiah 29:23). Helaman 7:4–5 reports the same perversion of justice arriving through the elected judiciary the letter installed instead — 'those Gadianton robbers filling the judgment-seats' (7:4), 'Condemning the righteous because of their righteousness; letting the guilty and the wicked go unpunished because of their money' (7:5). What is textual: each clause is quoted from its verse, and Mosiah 29 is the constitution Helaman 4:22's 'laws of Mosiah' names. What is interpretive: the reading that Helaman's robber-judges arc functions as a structural reply to Mosiah 29 — that an elected bench can rot wholesale the way the letter feared one king would — is offered for weighing, not asserted; the letter is about kings, never names the reign of the judges, and Helaman 7 never cites Mosiah 29. The Gadianton-government material proper (oath protocol, capture of the government) lives on secret-combinations.md.
