Explanation
Rhetorical vividness that appears to place a subject before the eyes. It transforms report into imagined presence.
Example
One sees the dust rise and hears the footsteps approach.
Counterexample
Merely mentioning “Evidentia” without the described function is not a sufficient example.
Distinction
Do not equate it with a narrower subtype or a merely adjacent concept; the defining function is decisive.
Effect on thought and perception
It transforms report into imagined presence.
Resonance
In the atlas, Evidentia forms a node joined by 3 previously unresolved reference lines.
Etymology
Technical core term; individual etymological review pending
Provenance
Unresolved relation network → core-concept review → Metzler/HWRh cross-check → ATLAS 238
