Reference Dependency Crosswalk

Layer 1 (Structure) names the load-bearing claims. Layer 2 (Reference) says what outside the prose could have changed each one. This table connects them: for every Structure claim, whether Reference supplies outside-world support — or marks the dependency unresolved. “Unresolved / bounded” is not a failure; it is an honest label for a claim that rests on testimony or structure rather than public evidence.

Structure claim	Outside support	Reference	What it does & doesn’t cover
SL-014-01 Feeling of progress is a poor guide; the felt sense can diverge from the measured one.	Satisfied, with limits	RL-014-01, RL-014-02	Supports the felt-vs-measured split — not the reader’s odds or all AI building.
SL-014-02 The three payoffs differ by visibility and timing, not moral worth.	Partly satisfied	RL-014-03	External-adoption rarity is supported only as AI-agnostic base-rate context; worth judgments stay outside Reference.
SL-014-03 The self-checks are tells and nudges, not verdicts.	Unresolved / bounded	RL-014-05, RL-014-06	The practical tells are structurally bounded; no public evidence validates them as predictors.
SL-014-04 Rarity and the feeling/fact gap are separate explanations.	Partly satisfied	RL-014-03, RL-014-04	Base-rate rarity and quality bottlenecks constrain the claim; AI distinctiveness stays a hypothesis.
SL-014-05 Absorption is needed for real building and is exactly what hollow building feels like.	Partly satisfied	RL-014-04	Reference supports bottleneck persistence, not the full absorption mechanism; the novelty-fades falsifier stays open.
SL-014-06 The relational question is more readable from inside than the meaning question.	Bounded — not publicly evidenced	RL-014-06	Structurally important, but evidenced only by general logic and private substrate.
SL-014-07 People close to you can report your absence, not the worth of the work.	Bounded — not publicly evidenced	RL-014-06	Public-safe only as a diagnostic frame; the private witness material stays private.
SL-014-08 “Lifetime value uncertainty” can act as a brake — one person’s testimony.	Unresolved / bounded	RL-014-05, RL-014-06	First-person testimony; whether it is ‘enough’ is external and shows over time.
SL-014-09 The central question is about meaning, not bare existence.	Satisfied — live demonstration	RL-014-07	Outside pressure (a reader’s objection) changed the published wording after publication.

Row labels (SL-014-… / RL-014-…) are just pointers that let the Structure and Reference pages reference each other. This crosswalk is constraint-mapping, not proof: a satisfied dependency means a claim was exposed to outside support, not that the claim is true.
