When two sources formalized the same object in incompatible ways, did the swarm mostly emit translation lemmas between them, or did someone pick a canonical definition and have downstream proofs rewritten to match? The second feels like where the "coherent whole" cost actually sits, and I'm curious how much of the 500-source effort was that reconciliation versus line-by-line translation.
