Synthesize MG-7 6-Question Source Card analyses across 8 classical civilizations — applying Wineburg's 4 questions + NMAI 5th living-descendant move + WHA 6th whose-translations-and-silences move to Diocletian's Edict, Ashoka's Rock Edicts, Aryabhatiya, Sima Qian's Shiji, Ban Zhao's Lessons for Women, Shapur I's Naqsh-e Rostam inscription, Ezana's Stele, Tikal Stela 31, and Justinian's Code
