summarySeparately models conceptual attributes, encounters among causal series, and possibilities of choice beyond the actual world, attempting to move from the logical level to empirical and metaphysical levels. In The Problem of Contingency, it treats contingency as the negation of necessity and distinguishes categorical, hypothetical, and disjunctive modes, linking a systematic theory of individuals, causality, time, history, art, and existence; iki and rhyme count only as their respective application remainders.

M rationaleRetains M5.6 as the current center: the three modes connect contingency to individuals, causality, time, history, art, and existence, forming a systematic modal theory. Current source coverage is insufficient, so this is retained rather than re-established in this round; there is no adjustment for the renown of Kuki or Aristotle.

attribution rationaleKuki remains .50 and Cournot .05; Aristotle’s original .06 has no identifiable new formative action in this round that does not duplicate the continuing effect of his original theory, so the personal share is removed and .06 is not anonymously moved into prehistory. Prehistory retains the identifiable .16 from the original broad pool; among contemporaries, only those with substantive scholarly or content-editing actions receive .04, pure publishing institutions exit, and .25 is unresolved.

overlap boundaryAristotle is no longer a personal owner of this item, and his former .06 has not been merged into prehistory; any future restoration can only rest on a specific input that formed Kuki’s new theory and does not duplicate the continuing effect of Aristotle’s original theory. On adoption, Kuki’s surrounding creation ledger must be updated at the same time.

Evidence gapsThe current sources match the object weakly; the first-edition lineage, the book’s full chapters, sources for the three modes, and Aristotle’s specific input need checking.

Record year1930

summaryTreats a difficult-to-translate concept of lived aesthetics as a culturally immanent phenomenon and connects structures of meaning, the body, clothing, color, architecture, and musical expression. In the 1930 Iwanami edition of The Structure of ‘Iki’, iki is confined to a particular Japanese urban-cultural phenomenon and analyzed phenomenologically and hermeneutically through the three moments of coquetry, spirit, and resignation and their natural/artistic expressions; it does not claim a universal aesthetics or claim the historical practice of iki itself or later design adoption.

M rationaleSEP provides the specific three moments, object scope, and non-universalizing boundary, while NDL records the surviving first Iwanami edition as 1930; M5.4 is taken for the complete theoretical endpoint, without mechanically discounting for the 1929/1930 bibliographic conflict.

attribution rationaleKuki 0.47; European methodological interaction 0.10; prehistory of iki culture 0.20; prehistory of artistic instances 0.08; contemporary editors 0.04; institutions 0.03; unresolved 0.08.

Evidence gapsSEP gives 1929 as the publication year, while the NDL original-edition bibliography gives Shōwa 5, namely 1930; this item adopts the verifiable 1930 bibliography and leaves the 1926 draft and possible prior publication as version gaps.

Record year1930

summaryProposed a cyclic/eternal-return structure of time, opposing the complete tying of time's essence to human will or consciousness. The circa-1930 cyclic theory of time was an alternative to Bergson's and Heidegger's theories linking time to will/consciousness, finitude, and transcendence; the general system of the three modalities of contingency belongs to the outcome The Problem of Contingency, while later editing and preservation are excluded.

M rationaleA Kyoto University academic-paper abstract explicitly identifies his distinctive cyclic theory of time and its comparison with Bergson and Heidegger, sufficient for a limited M5.1; it does not attribute all later scholarly interpretations to Kuki.

attribution rationaleKuki 0.47; Bergson 0.10; Heidegger 0.09; prehistory of time theory 0.17; contemporary lectures/editing 0.05; institutions 0.04; unresolved 0.08.

Evidence gapsThe full original lecture manuscript is needed to confirm the cyclic structure, sources of reincarnation, and the scope of overlap with The Problem of Contingency. Later scholarship and preservation are used only for this round of verification; if there is a later edited terminal form, it should be entered as a separate transmission outcome without cutting into the original theory's attribution budget.

Record year1931

summaryPlaced Japanese poetry, not ordinarily centered on end rhyme, in a cross-poetics comparison of sound forms, and proposed a practicable scheme of rhyme. The 1931 Rhyme in Japanese Poetry recorded by the NDL discusses/proposes rhyming forms in Japanese poetry and connects rhythm, rhyme, and the existence of linguistic expression; his own poems serve only as methodological examples and do not reproduce M separately by poem.

M rationaleThe NDL confirms an independent 1931, 158-page work; Kyoto University and European research on Japanese philosophy respectively support the Valéry input and the claim of a 'new rhyming form,' supporting M5.0 for a specific poetic program; no popularizing effect is invented from the title.

attribution rationaleKuki 0.48; Valéry 0.09; prehistory of poetics 0.21; poetic examples/editing 0.07; institutions 0.05; unresolved 0.10.

overlap boundaryThe 1931 Rhyme in Japanese Poetry recorded by the NDL discusses/proposes rhyming forms in Japanese poetry and connects rhythm, rhyme, and the existence of linguistic expression; his own poems serve only as methodological examples and do not reproduce M separately by poem.

Evidence gapsThe work has not yet been read in full; its specific rules of rhyme and the technical quality of the author's own examples require chapter-by-chapter calibration; this evidence gap does not mechanically lower M. Actual poetic adoption and reader effects remain unproven and are not counted.
