Rasura (or Gap in Erasure) of Ranged Extent

A gap whose extent is expressed as a plausible numeric range, corresponding to an erasure or contained within an ancient erasure.

Syntax

The notation for a gap of ranged extent enclosed between double square brackets [[…]].

Overview

• ⊙ ∈ PREVIOUS_SEEN_ALLOWED = the relevant gap notation.
• ‽ᵟ ∈ {?, !, ε} = uncertainty marker ?, certainty marker !, or empty string (ε).
• γ ∈ {Low, High, Medium} = certainty level corresponding to the marker used in the notation.
• ◇ᵟ ∈ {⯑, ⯁, ε} = rendering of the uncertainty/certainty marker in the notation or empty string (ε).
