I’m ready to add exactly 7 new sections, but I still don’t have the current article’s structure or references to match your exact formatting and avoid duplicate theories. Please provide either: Option A - Paste the full current article, including: - The exact header wrapper and spacer lines - All existing sections - Any internal links - The complete References block Option B - One complete existing section copied verbatim (to capture the exact header wrapper, spacer-line format, and the
