    "prose": "Wheel of Heaven is not 'all interesting religious or esoteric material.' It is a comparative knowledge base centered on the Raëlian canon, with disciplined inclusion of: the Raëlian corpus (foundational canon); ancient primary witnesses (Hebrew Bible, Qur'an, Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Vedic, etc.); modern revelatory traditions presented as standalone shelves; scholarly context; scientific and historical context; critical / skeptical scholarship; and supplementary public-learning materials. A source belongs in the corpus if it defines a tradition's own claims, illuminates a recurring motif across traditions, grounds a historical or philological question, contextualizes a scientific or cosmological claim, challenges or bounds an interpretation, or helps build chronology / taxonomy / conceptual links. Otherwise it is supplementary at best.",
