What the territory is

The mandibular body between the chin and the antegonial notch, where bony resorption lets the border dip in front of the jowl.

How the Codex reads it

Fires only on a pre-jowl notch read at A4. Restores the skeletal line rather than camouflaging the jowl in soft tissue; where jowling is excessive, Link is reduced or withheld in the same patient.

Every number in this atlas cites the study it came from. The full method, including what this site withholds on purpose, is on sources and method.

This site teaches one level above the Codex's working manual: the architecture is public, the coordinates are not. This page withholds entry points, landmark constructions, volumes and read-to-point routing, exactly as the atlas does. What is shown and what is withheld.
