Role in the Community

  • Held in the TAH (taiwaneseamericanhistory.org) story corpus as a community organizational record, published 2017-02-06: Chicago Taiwanese Architecture Institute, CTAI 芝加哥台灣建築學會. The record is bibliographic only (band B); no memoir narrative mentioning CTAI was found in the corpus.

  • Re-verified 2026-09-19 (deepen-x slice 24): remaining grep hits are false positives — “CTAI” matched only as a substring of SCTAI (南加州台灣同鄉會) in the TACL memoir Our Journeys 272, and one taiwanjustice hit is a hash-string match. No new absorbable material. Re-verified again 2026-09-21 (slice 09191100-20): same result — the only memoir hits are SCTAI substring matches in the TACL memoir Our Journeys 272 (and its English counterpart), plus a hash-string match in a taiwanjustice.net archive file. Nothing CTAI-specific in the corpus. Re-grepped again 2026-09-21 (slice 09210317-16): identical result — 芝加哥台灣建築學會 has zero corpus occurrences outside its own record; CTAI hits remain the SCTAI substring matches in Our Journeys 272 (+ English counterpart) and the archive_digest hash match in a taiwanjustice archive file. SKIP unchanged. Re-grepped again 2026-09-22 (slice 09212352-28): identical — zero 芝加哥台灣建築學會 corpus occurrences outside its own record; CTAI hits remain only the SCTAI substring matches in Our Journeys 272 (+ English counterpart) and the taiwanjustice hash-string match. SKIP unchanged. Re-grepped again 2026-09-23 (slice 09221200-22): identical — hits are its own record, the SCTAI substring matches in Our Journeys 272 (+ English counterpart), the works index listing, and the taiwanjustice hash-string match. SKIP unchanged.

  • Corpus re-grep (slice 09230700-9, 2026-09-24): hit-set unchanged from prior passes — all hits already absorbed above; verified-saturated, nothing new absorbable, no conflicts.

  • Corpus re-grep (slice 09240700-17, 2026-09-25): hit set identical (own record, Our Journeys 272 SCTAI substring matches, works index, taiwanjustice hash match). Verified-saturated SKIP.

  • Corpus re-grep (slice 09260854-18, 2026-09-30): hit set identical (own record, Our Journeys 272 SCTAI substring false positive, works index, taiwanjustice hash match). Verified-saturated SKIP.
