Each record sits in this year because its source places it here, or because a conversion of the source’s date, stated on the record, does. That is a placement, not a settled date, and not a complete account of the year. “No region assigned” means the collection has not fixed where the act took place. How to read a record

Armillary sphere completed

The Song shi basic annals record that in the sixth lunar month of Yuanyou 7 (AD 1092), on the wuchen day, the armillary sphere and [celestial] image (渾天儀像) were completed.

Limits: The Song shi is a Yuan-compiled (1343-45) official history drawing on Song court records; the English is an AI working translation. The one-line notice names no maker, place or design; the rendering of 渾天儀像 as 'armillary sphere and [celestial] image' is a working interpretation.
