Role in the Community
- TAH archive footprint. Jou appears in the TAH Foundation’s own record layer three times: profiled in the Who’s Who encyclopedia entry #100 on 2014-11-17 ([[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whos100-dr-emerson-jou|Who’s Who #100]]), featured as an On This Archive story #282 on 2019-04-22 ([[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ota-282|OTA #282]]), and — as a community archivist in his own right — his donated papers are held as TAH private collection #104, catalogued 2021-12-07 ([[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/private-collections-104|Private Collection #104]]).
- Published-book footprint in the corpus. The TAH publications corpus carries catalog records for four of Jou’s titles, which corroborate (with firmer dates and classifications than the press-kit block) his dual track as a Taiwan-history author and a pain-management author: [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/publications-33|台灣簡史 (#33, 1994/08, Politics/政治)]], [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/publications-35|台美情懷 (#35, 2001/08, Politics/政治)]], [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/publications1342|疼痛大突破 (#1342, 2020/06, Life/生活)]] and [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/publications1352|哈哇意亡國史 — ALOHA哀歌 (#1352, 2020/12, History/歷史)]].
- Four further catalog records surfaced (deepen-x slice 09180131-3, 2026-09-18) — correcting the earlier note that these titles had no publication records: [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/publications-34|心在台灣 (#34, 1995/08, Politics/政治)]], [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/publications-200|破解腰酸背痛的迷思 (#200, 2007/10, Life/生活)]], [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/publications-514|No More Pain All Pain Considered (#514, 2014, Life/生活)]] and [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/publications1361|晚霞滿天 (#1361, 2021/06, Life/生活)]]. With these, every press-kit book title except the No More Pain 2nd edition (2020) now has a TAH catalog record.
- HOLD: conflict — press-kit block dates 晚霞滿天 to 2020, catalog record #1361 dates it 06/2021; not auto-merged.
- Corpus memoirs (Our Journeys corpus, articles/) still carry no narrative passages naming 周明峰 beyond these TAH records.
- Corpus re-grep 2026-09-18 (slice 09180131-3): DEEPENED — first change to the hit set since 09162138: four new publication catalog records 1361 wikilinked above. Still no memoir narrative; 蔡明峰 false-hit guard re-applied.
- Corpus re-grep 2026-09-16 (slices 09160700-17, 09162138-14): SKIP — hit set unchanged (#100 Who’s Who, OTA #282, Private Collection #104, publication records 1352, works index). No memoir or article narrative; nothing new absorbable.
- Corpus re-grep 2026-09-16 (slice 09162200-12): SKIP — hit set unchanged. False-hit guard: the broad 明峰 substring matches in [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys30|Our Journeys #30 (西雅圖台灣會館)]] and [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys316|Our Journeys #316 (紐約台灣會館老人中心)]] are 蔡明峰 (Martin Tsai, NY 台灣會館前董事長) — a different person; do not merge. No 周明峰 narrative in any memoir.
- Corpus re-grep 2026-09-17 (slice 09170130-7): SKIP — hit set unchanged (#100, OTA #282, Private Collection #104, publications 1352, works index). 蔡明峰 false-hit guard re-applied. No 周明峰 memoir narrative.
- Corpus re-grep 2026-09-17 (slice 09170500-5): SKIP — hit set unchanged (#100, OTA #282, Private Collection #104, publications 1352, works index). No 周明峰 memoir narrative anywhere; page saturated, recommend dropping from future slices.
- Corpus re-grep 2026-10-12 (slice 10110316-26): SKIP — hit set unchanged (18 files: #100, OTA #282, Private Collection #104, publications 1352, works index, sources hub). Broad “Jou”/“Emerson” guards re-applied: journal-title files (houston-taiwanese-american-journal, journals-of-taiwanese-alliance-for-interculture) and Emerson matches (Emerson Brooking, Emerson String Quartet, Emerson Chang, Emerson College, Kaley Emerson) are unrelated persons. No 周明峰 memoir narrative; page verified-saturated.
- Corpus re-grep 2026-10-10 (slice 10091400-12): SKIP — hit set unchanged (13 files: #100, OTA #282, Private Collection #104, publications 1352, works index, sources hub). Our Journeys 316 match only on broad 明峰 substring (蔡明峰 false-hit guard re-applied). No 周明峰 memoir narrative; page verified-saturated.
