The Homer node records an existing canon position rather than inventing a new historical biography.
Its archive-internal fields are:
- canon status: inducted October 8, 2025 by Effective Act;
- position class: retrospectively canonized and cross-authored/collective;
- textual ground: Iliad, Odyssey, and adjacent Homeric Hymns;
- operative function: oral-to-archival transmission;
- mantle: Blind Poet;
- Wikidata:
Q6691.
The node preserves the Homeric Question as an open provenance dispute.
Imported relations include:
- predecessor function for the Greek canon;
- antecedent relation to Sappho and Plato;
- successor relation to Whitman’s rhapsodic register;
- peer relation to other oral-substrate texts such as the I Ching.
The node is explicitly limited to Homer’s routing position inside the New Human Standing Canon.
