Plain statement

AI disclosure

First drafts of the text and figures in this book were generated with an AI tool (Anthropic's Claude). The author, Stephen Horton, edited, fact-checked and expanded them, and wrote the introductions and evidence ratings. Every factual claim carries a source note, and sources are primary wherever possible.

The same statement appears in the front matter of each volume and in the Kindle listings.

How claims are checked

• Every factual claim carries a source note. Sources are primary wherever possible: patents, papers, court opinions, sworn testimony, government reports.
• Each chapter is audited claim by claim against those sources, and the audit findings are applied before the chapter is final.
• Where a source could not be read in full, the chapter says so rather than guessing.
• Contested claims get an evidence status, set and dated by the author.
