Note

V63

Structural

Ch4 new 'Its Language' subsection (Dreams + Atomics2/gender, launch-tweet close). Ch2 Atomics2 removed + bridge line added. Ch6 'Dreaming' removed.

The vocabulary/gender argument anchored in Ch4; Ch2 now single-direction

V64

Structural rebuild

Ch6 root-and-branch: Conversation Timeline cut (best line folded to Dangerous Zone), two therapy parallels merged into one Clinical Parallel (reliving fragment repaired), Dangerous Zone promoted to climax with new opener.

8 subsections → 5. Red-flag chapter resolved

V65

Tracked

Ch4 six subsection headings de-numbered to match book style.

Its Language already unnumbered; now all seven consistent

V66

Structural

76m/97-Bibles authority passage lifted from Ch6 to Ch9 Room Three (new opener). Sizing the Window heading deleted. Window-size + 'feeling of infinite' kept as bridge in Ch6.

Completes the Ch6 rebuild; authority lands where it belongs

V67

Tracked (blemishes)

B1: 4 Ch9 Room headings bolded. B2: Ch5 'Clinical Parallel' → 'The Clinical Parallel: Holding the Thread'. B4: 14 numeral chapter refs → words. B3: deliberate no-action on Ch6 bridge paras.

No pre-approval per Paul; all cross-refs verified

V68

Tracked

Title page subtitle updated to match cover: two lines — 'The one hiding in plain sight' / 'Between artificial intelligence behaviour and human behaviour.'

Inside now matches outside

V69

Tracked

Ch5 Crewe Q&A formatted: 7 human questions bolded, machine answers plain. 'Confidently. Fluently. Incorrectly.' split to its own narration line.

Bold-question dialogue device — first use in book

Note: word count remarkably stable (±260) across heavy restructuring — material moved and merged, not bloated.
