Revelation First: A Work Plan for Retrieval-Layer Theological Reception (EA-LOGOS-REVFIRST-PLAN v1.2)

v1.2 final (18,475 words). Twelve sections in WS-1: methodological preamble (inference against inference, burden symmetrical), dating evidence (internal, external, papyrological inversion), literary-genetic argument (Revelation makes sense as first; nothing else does), political dimension (Josephus as captured semantic laborer, scribal workshop, Roman distribution), criterion of embarrassment engagement (characterological, cosmological, Philo — three levels), Paul's autobiographical claims (strongest conventional argument, engaged at full strength), hostile witnesses (reception-horizon reframing, Talmudic research questions flagged for rabbinic expertise). Structural Scaffolding: Johannine Aperture Function, functional generation sequence, 1 John 4:1–3 operative reading, white stone, Gospel of John lens-flicker, incarnation as heteronymic event, methodological unity, self-measure. Six-rung Claim Ladder plus Claim 7 (theology). Ten holographic kernels. Embedded SPXI Self-Audit Block. Material available on condition of non-erasure.
