Vault cross-references (deepen pass 2026-09-10)

  • Full TAH encyclopedia entry mirrored in the vault: [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whos-who-2019-c-t-huang||TAH #2019: Prof. C.-T. (James) Huang 黃正德教授]].
  • Possible spouse lead only: |Grace Yang (楊蕙安) lists “Husband: James Huang” (Chicago lawyer). Name-only match against this linguist’s profile — not merged, no confirmation in the vault source set.

Sources

Deepen pass 2026-09-11 (vault-only)

No further vault-internal facts to absorb: the on-page Education/Employment/Timeline tables already mirror [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whos-who-2019-c-t-huang||TAH #2019]] in full, and every institutional tie in the biography (NTNU, MIT, NTHU, Cornell, UCI, Harvard) already carries its vault cross-reference or is absent from the vault’s org layer. The Grace Yang name-only lead remains unmerged per the HOLD rule.

Deepen pass 2026-09-14 (vault-only)

No change to substance: [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whos-who-2019-c-t-huang||TAH #2019]] remains the sole source and is fully mirrored. Student-association links (MIT, Cornell, UC Irvine, Harvard) remain context-only — no membership recorded. 台美史料中心 has no vault page, so no link was added. Slice 09140741-13: the 臺灣師範大學 (NTNU) lineage gains one context-only institutional tie — |Joint Alumni Association of Taiwan Teachers College and Normal University (JTTAA) (alumni association of his degree-granting institution’s lineage; no membership recorded). No other vault slugs apply; status: saturated, pending-verification.

Slice 09141059-3 re-verify (vault-only): no further vault-internal facts to absorb; all cross-references resolve to existing vault pages. Status unchanged: saturated, pending-verification.
