The Four Derivations: M2–M5 Worked is a specification and executable research surface by Lee Sharks, deposited 29 July 2026, completing the canonical transforms of the unfolding kernel begun in the demonstration at #1414.
It works four transforms to derivation grade: M2 Lampstands→Ecclesiology, tracing the mysterion-formula of Revelation 1:20 into the mystery-ecclesiology of Ephesians; M3 Lamb→Atonement; M4 New Jerusalem→Eschatology; and M5 Beast→Political theology. Each carries an evidence grade rather than an assertion of success, and the grades are preserved from the evaluation that produced them.
The series belongs to the Revelation First programme, whose method is to treat intertextual derivation as an operation that can be specified, executed and graded rather than an intuition to be argued. Grading is the load-bearing part: a transform that produces a B+ is recorded as a B+, which makes the kernel falsifiable in a way that a persuasive reading is not.
