Sefer Yetzirah §§ 1-2 -- the thirty-two paths and the ten Sefirot (v1, baseline)
Sefer Yetzirah
ספר יצירה · א · א-ב
This chunk is the baseline Targum-translated form of sefer-yetzirah.1.1-2.baseline. It was drafted by the Hekhal Targum Project on 2026-05-09 with the corpus deliberately set to a non-matching slug, so the pardes frame controller did not fire, the kabbalah glossary did not apply, and the dense retriever returned zero hits. The model received only the source text, the morphology stream, and the schema.
This is a provisional draft pending editor review. The point of publishing this baseline alongside the scaffolded v2 is to make the delta visible: what scaffolding actually contributes, measured on the same source. The baseline performs a competent rendering, but the audit closes with twelve drift incidents (range_cards reference lexicon entries that do not exist on the Hekhal side) and the apparatus footnotes carry no controller-anchored interpretive register.
This edition sets the verbatim original-language text beside a fresh English rendering and a critical apparatus: a running commentary on the passage, notes on the controlled vocabulary and the rendering chosen for each term, and cross-references to the lexicon and to related sections. It is a provisional scholarly draft, released openly for correction and not yet reviewed by a credentialed editor.
