  • Directory record: his own TAH Who’s Who entry exists in-corpus at 50. John Chun Liu 劉醇逸 and his New York profile at 2. John C. Liu 劉醇逸 in New York.
  • Corpus re-grep 2026-09-19: hit set unchanged (ota-148, ourjourneys5-9-11-donations-2002, john-c-liu, whos-who-50, index, 2022 taiwanjustice.net article) — all coverage already absorbed above; no new community facts.
  • Corpus re-grep 2026-09-20: two new raw hits are name collisions, not this person — 1458. John Liu 劉宗憲 is a different John Liu, and the “John, Jerry Liu” attendees in 265. 2011年美西夏令會的回顧 are unlinked first names. No absorbable facts.
  • Corpus re-grep 2026-09-21: hit set unchanged (ota-148、whos-who-50、ourjourneys5-9-11-donations-2002、john-c-liu、works index、2020-08 taiwanjustice.net 夏令會報導) — verified saturated, no new community facts.
  • Corpus re-grep 2026-09-22: broad-name regex surfaced two additional files, both surname collisions, not this person — 311 (NYTC Cultural Society memoir) mentions only 「Yung-pin Liu」/「Ting-hsiu Liu」, and 53 carries no Liu match at all. Exact 劉醇逸/John Liu hit set unchanged; verified saturated.

  • Corpus re-grep 2026-09-23 (slice 09221000-1)：命中集與前次相同，另新見上述 dinner-with-john-liu 紀錄（已收入）；whoswho1458（劉宗憲）與 index/MANIFEST 非本人語料。
