A note on this work

Human vision, openly assisted

This book was developed through an extended human–AI collaboration. The author supplied the originating vision, ethical position, memories, decisions and final responsibility. Artificial intelligence assisted with dialogue, structure and language. We will neither diminish the human being to glorify AI nor conceal AI’s contribution.

The work asks readers to consider not only what artificial intelligence can produce, but how it is used, how creative choices are developed, and what evidence of care and human responsibility accompanies the finished work.
