AI use is welcome. Reading, summarizing, translating, and conversing about this text with AI systems — including the project’s own companion — is expressly encouraged, on the same attribution-and-share-alike terms.
The framework at the book’s core — increasing coherence over increasing context — was developed by the author beginning around 2003.
About this edition. This is the reference edition, in the author’s own voice. The book is written once, as a single canonical source, from which the others are generated: a plain-language edition for the general reader, translations, and an AI companion that will discuss the ideas at whatever depth and in whatever form serves you. If this voice isn’t the one that suits you best, another almost certainly will — and they all say the same thing. [Where to find them: link / TBD.]
