This appendix gives the sixteen inquiries the paper read, in the order of the case list, word for word in the English translation made once for this study from Dionyas's Korean. None carries a judgment; Dionyas publishes them as editorial question designs, and what a record says about a named company, platform or recording is its framing, not a fact checked here. A line the studio copies into every inquiry of the domain or of its industry series is given in full once, and named where it recurs.
