Evidence note (master store)

This is a CTL-NATIVE list, not an external publisher's list: a chronological succession of Chicago's tallest buildings since 1854, compiled by CultureTechLens from a user-supplied table dated 2026-10-16 held in the graph's own records. Stamped openly as a CTL compilation under the tier-2 logic of the wave-7 WKKC Flywheel precedent (the subject's own documented compilation). Its provenance is verified; its individual building entries were NOT re-verified against external sources in this wave and should be cited as 'CultureTechLens compilation' wherever used.
