Colophon

A note on the making. This book comes from a single source through a human–AI partnership: the author wrote and holds the source; AI made its other editions and translations and powers its companion — an instance, in the book’s own terms, of values held at the center while capability reaches outward. This is the Plainer English edition. Built with Quarto from plain-text source; available as web, PDF, and EPUB.
