Why this is here
A3 rested two points of CASE-169 on it: that historical continuity and functional resemblance come apart (songs in exile differ from songs on the islands and still descend from them), and that a narrative kept for mobilization can lose fidelity for another task, which A3 called “almost a direct historical analogue” of the record’s task-relative transport (CLAIM-115). Both are the exchange’s reading until this is read.
