وَإِن كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيْكَ إِعْرَاضُهُمْ فَإِنِ ٱسْتَطَعْتَ أَن تَبْتَغِىَ نَفَقًا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَوْ سُلَّمًا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَتَأْتِيَهُم بِـَٔايَةٍ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَجَمَعَهُمْ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلْجَٰهِلِينَ

أَمْ لَهُمْ سُلَّمٌ يَسْتَمِعُونَ فِيهِ فَلْيَأْتِ مُسْتَمِعُهُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ
Why this meaning was chosen
Tentative Quran-internal core tested across all 140 family occurrences. Every target is assigned one English rendering. The aligned witnesses at 2:208, 8:61, and 47:35 vary the first vowel of the peace noun without changing its constructional meaning. The two physical سُلَّم occurrences form an explicit lexical-collision branch because upward access and elevated listening contradict the proposed wholeness core. Exact questions remain for the submission, peace, and transfer extensions.
