# Source notes

## eFireTemple corpus

Generated from the supplied eFireTemple WordPress exports dated July 31, 2026. Only published posts and pages were indexed. Comments, commenter details, author email addresses, and attachment metadata were excluded from the application data.

## Primary scripture

The complete 66-book World English Bible is bundled as normalized local JSON under `data/bible/`. The reader, chapter navigation, verse pages, server rendering, and full-text Scripture search operate from local files and do not require a live third-party Bible service.

The text was prepared from Project Gutenberg eBook 8294, World English Bible (Classic), 2020 stable text. The World English Bible is public domain. The source translation remains disclosed in the reader and documentation. The public-facing edition abbreviation is DTM.

## King James comparison

The complete 66-book King James Version is bundled under `data/kjv/`. It was normalized from Project Gutenberg eBook 10. The KJV comparison is displayed as a distinct translation and is never presented as text written by Diesel the Magus.

Project Gutenberg identifies this text as public domain in the United States. Deployments outside the United States should confirm any local restrictions that may apply to the Authorized Version.

## Edition identity

“Asha Bible · Diesel the Magus Version” (DTM) names the study edition, search system, comparison interface, app shell, and eFireTemple interpretive lens. The base scripture remains the World English Bible, and Diesel commentary remains a separate layer.

## Greek terminology

The interface presents “magoi” as a language note beside the common English rendering “wise men.” It does not alter the Scripture text. The Asha Lens then links to Diesel’s argument about the significance of the original identifier.

## Evidence policy

- **Textual:** directly stated by the displayed passage.
- **Historical:** chronology, language, source history, or transmission context.
- **Asha thesis:** Diesel/eFireTemple interpretation.
- **Reconstruction:** conclusions not directly stated by the surviving biblical text.

The claims that the Magi sought their Saoshyant, that omission was deliberate, or that they educated Jesus are presented as eFireTemple arguments rather than as statements made explicitly in Matthew.
