CALCULATION

How the score is calculated

Q = 10^(M/2) − 1; Lᵢ = aᵢ × Qᵢ; L = Σ Lᵢ; S = 2 × log₁₀(1 + L).

M is an outcome’s assessed magnitude and a is the person’s allocated share. A standalone score is only a per-item reference; the attributed light from distinct contributions is what can be combined.

01Adult travel-adventure narrative works and lecture lineage成人旅行—冒险叙事著作与讲演族OUT-SL3748-1925-1935-ADULT-TRAVEL-NARRATIVE-CORPUS

Record year1925–1935

summaryA sustained public travel literature/lecture corpus formed through firsthand performances, intercontinental routes, photographs, and popular narratives.

Original Chinese · summary

以亲历表演、跨洲路线、照片和通俗叙事形成持续公开的旅行文学/讲演语料。

M rationaleArchives confirm five major adult manuscripts, intercontinental photographs, and sustained lectures; the Open Library bibliography further confirms 'Royal Road' as a 1921–23 travel narrative with long-term publication dissemination. M5.4 is a provisional cross-literature magnitude judgment, based on the final state and dissemination of independent adult travel narratives, and does not claim to have verified the quality of the works; bestseller status and celebrity identity only prove dissemination.

Original Chinese · M rationale

档案确认五部主要成人书稿、跨洲照片与持续讲演;Open Library书目进一步确认《Royal Road》为1921–23旅行叙事及长期出版传播。M5.4是暂定跨文学量级判断,依据独立成人旅行叙事终态与传播,不声称已核作品质量;畅销与名人身份只证传播。

overlap boundaryAdult travel works from 'The Royal Road to Romance' (1925) to 'Seven League Boots' (1935) and their concurrent live lectures; does not replicate M by book, journey, location, or lecture session count; excludes the 1937–38 youth 'Book of Marvels'.

Evidence gapsOnly checked open bibliography, first sentence, and work summary; literary analysis of the main text not completed; colonial/racial representations, factual exaggerations, and named co-authors still pending verification.

Original Chinese · evidence gaps

Record year1937–1938

summaryTransforming adult travel corpus into two illustrated volumes for youth, connecting locations and culture through character experiences.

Original Chinese · summary

将成人旅行语料改造成两卷面向青年、以人物体验连接地点和文化的图文读物。

M rationalePrinceton archives and Open Library bibliography confirm two-volume manuscripts, 1937/38 publication, and youth geography classification. M5.2 is a tentative cross-literary magnitude judgment based on independent youth audience, two-volume edited format, and travel material reorganization; does not claim to have verified work quality, nor replicates the value of adult travel itself.

Original Chinese · M rationale

Princeton档案与Open Library书目确认两卷原稿、1937/38出版和青年地理分类。M5.2是按独立青年受众、两卷编辑载体与旅行材料重组作出的暂定跨文学量级判断,不声称已核作品质量,也不复制成人旅行本身价值。

BOUNDARIES NOT COUNTED

Not included in this score

These subjects are recorded as exclusions and are not silently treated as zero or as part of the included outcomes.

Sea Dragon's unfinished trans-Pacific voyage

Sea Dragon未完成横太平洋航行

Reason The 1939 voyage was unfinished and crew members disappeared; investment, risk, and celebrity narrative cannot substitute for public delivery.

Original Chinese reason

1939航行未完成且船员失踪;投入、风险与名人叙事不能替代公共交付。

Posthumous editing of letters and archival preservation

身后书信编纂与档案保存

Reason The posthumous end state formed by his father, editors, and archival institutions cannot be fed back into the author's lifetime outcomes.

Original Chinese reason

由父亲、编辑与档案机构形成的身后终态不可回灌作者生前成果。
