Gazan Arabs — 2,315,000 people, the second largest population this map draws —
was painted red as "nothing found" while the index held a Scripture Earth PDF and
a Zume course in South Levantine Arabic, and the access table beside it already
said "read". Because of that stale zero it was also the one group on the map
shown as having nothing AND no way in.
The cause is structural, not a typo. The tier existed only ON A PIN, and `codes`
is keyed from the resource pools while `pins` comes from the people-group
dataset, so a language can be fully researched and carry no pin at all: zero pins
speak ajp. With no tier to read, the map fell back to the roster's stored copy,
captured when that file was written and never refreshed since.
So the tier is computed for every code the index knows and published as `tiers`,
from one definition that also tiers the pins. The map reads it. It does not
re-derive a tier from the resource fields — that is the drift the surfaces gate
exists to stop, and a roster keeping its own copy is the same drift with extra
steps.
The gap is 369, not 370, and not one of them is left without a way in — so the
legend now says "every one of those 369" rather than "369 of those 369", which
read like a coincidence. Both halves still hold: every group has somewhere to
start, and none of them has the gospel in their own language.
