A documented apparatus for inspected use

Agentic edition

The agentic edition represents the book in a form that a language model can retrieve and cite. It connects verbatim passages to an argument graph and a verified bibliography. Its purpose is not to make the model authoritative. It is to make the model's use of the book easier to inspect.

Each published chapter has one downloadable package containing text chunks, the linked argument graph, references, a companion prompt, and a manifest. Technical files remain behind this explanation rather than serving as the reader's first point of entry.

Available packages

Introduction

Published 11 September 2026 · Text V1 · Agentic package A1

The first package contains the human-readable Introduction and its agentic apparatus. Zenodo preserves this release as an immutable, citable record.

Versioning

Human and agentic versions are tracked independently. A typographical change to a PDF need not create a new agentic version. A change to the represented text or to the apparatus does.
