Surface as material event

An AEU editorial lens for records where raised, accumulated, or unusually direct paint application makes the physical surface itself a major part of the current description.

Membership system

Non-exclusive classification with uncertainty preserved

Classified

An explicit AEU assessment currently connects this subject to the non-exclusive tendency lens.

Not classified

The current AEU index explicitly does not place this subject under the lens. This is an indexing state, not proof of historical impossibility.

Insufficient evidence

The current validated source set does not support a responsible classification decision. Absence is not treated as a negative fact.
