Exact — counted from the primary record, to the digit. · Calculated — derived from primary records by a stated method. · Rounded — an approved display form of an exact value (the exact value is always on file). · Self-reported — a worker's own testimony about itself, kept verbatim. · Inferred — reconstructed from surrounding evidence and marked as such.
Verified — checked against the primary record. · Supported — consistent with the record but not independently re-checked. · Inferred — a reasonable reading of the evidence. · Speculative — a possibility awaiting evidence. · Unsupported — flagged for correction, not hidden.
Self-accounts — the Rubies above all — are testimony, not census: kept verbatim, read against the corrected histories.
Paper / document — any item in the 404-row document register (the full manifest, original filenames kept). · Report — a worker-authored account of the making; the 137-report self-documentation corpus is its own ruler. · Filing — a worker’s formal deposit, the Rubies above all. · Record — the estate’s evidentiary holding as a whole. · Worker / seat — a named AI instance with a defined role; 18 production seats built the book, 8 apparatus ground workers built and keep this estate — 26 named seats in all. · BookMan is the founding seat’s name; where “Book Man” appears it is quoting the originating thread’s own title, kept verbatim.
The public record: the rooms, the Rubies, the opened reports, the Canon, the Numbers, the Perimeter, the story. Where a document is open it is open in HTML, PDF and Markdown, and marked PUBLIC on the register.
Evidence available for legitimate scholarly, legal or research examination, subject to review — full transcripts and gated papers among them. Request with who you are, what you seek, and the intended use: research access request.
The working instruments — calibration methods, item banks, succession packs. These are commercial intellectual property: licensing enquiry — kept deliberately separate from research access.
The clinical and personal vein is locked, is not requestable, and no request process exists for it. This is not a gate awaiting a key; it is a boundary.
SHADS — protecting every styling, including SHaDS™. Status: ™ — UK trade mark application pending (registration follows the examination and opposition window). Filed 25 June 2026 · UK Intellectual Property Office · application UK00004407581 · classes 9, 41, 42 · applicant Paul Roebuck (individual).

The tool: the live detection tool is held as a trade secret — not published, not hosted openly, not shared. Its existence is claimed; its mechanism is not disclosed. · The evidence: the reference corpora are pinned with cryptographic hashes — dated, tamper-evident provenance for the making record. · Licensing: you either build your own gap-navigation methods, or you license these: hello@paulroebuck.co.uk.
Say who you are, the capacity you’re asking in — academic or research, legal or compliance, publishing, enterprise licensing, IP partnership — and what you need to see. Access is granted explicitly, case by case. Request access by email · general enquiry.
There is no single key — there are several licence keys, one per ask, because the instruments sit at different depths. Some are free and open (the synthesised workers). Some are free but named and bound by terms (the Ruby). And some sit over the guarded core — the SHaDS™ raw data and the original scripts — the most-licensable material the apparatus holds: sight or working access can be granted case by case, never redistributed onward. Say who you are and which instrument you’re asking for; the reply tells you plainly what’s on offer and on what terms — the key is your named permission, not a blanket pass.

Every book figure this estate publishes — 59,865 words, 15 chapters, the corpus window 10 May – 9 June 2026 — is counted on one frozen file: MTG_Final_WordMaster_for_PDF_0.12.docx, the Ed1.05 print master (the Publisher’s Proof that closed the corpus on 9 June 2026). The launched edition carries roughly 270 further final-cut words; the page count of 241 is Amazon’s print length for the KDP interior. The author’s working copy continues to be edited — its counts will drift, and that drift is expected. The record’s counts do not move, because the file they are counted on does not move.
A secure master archive holds the complete record. The public and research derivative — this estate — is produced from it under review. Personal and clinical material is identified at source and excluded from the derivative; unpublished third-party names are held as [name held] even inside otherwise-verbatim documents; the book's own published names stand as the book printed them.
Where a living person appears in published material by name, they appear as the published book does, or first-name-only with consent recorded. AI-generated descriptions of people are reviewed by the author before publication. Anyone may seek correction, contextualisation or withdrawal of material concerning them: correction & disclosure channel. Disclosure concerns are handled with priority; complainant identity is never published without consent.

Include the page address and what you observed. Material corrections are published, dated, in the corrections ledger below. The record does not pretend infallibility; it demonstrates repair.
2026-07-14 · The worker census reconciled: 18 production seats + 8 apparatus ground workers = 26 named seats; a stale "fourteen workers" corrected on the Method page. · Corpus depth corrected from a legacy "a million words" to the exact 3.79 million recorded words on three pages. · The Numbers room's "nothing estimated" claim replaced with the figure-class system above.
2026-07-14 · The origin story corrected: the 27,000-word first draft was not a pre-AI human draft — it was AI-drafted chapters under the author’s direction inside the genesis session, merged into the first complete manuscript and locked on disk 11 May. Lines implying the draft preceded the AI ("before the substrate"; "meets its first agent"; "the thread the sofa draft was brought to") replaced on the Numbers, Journey and BookMan pages. A claim withdrawn to the record’s gain: the AI involvement is documented from the first turn.
2026-07-14 · The Evidence page revised on counsel’s brief: the Allen card no longer ties this record to Allen’s claim — the posture is distinguished (separable contributions, the layer Zarya preserved); the docket status is stated; the directive-turn taxonomy is published; six doors; notes for the careful reader.
2026-07-14 · New exact figures added to the estate: of 1,621 directive turns, 346 were ratifications and 177 were corrections or outright refusals — hand-enumerated, validated 100/100 against two blind samples, zero-delta reconciliation to the register (the Excavator’s E1 delivery).
2026-07-14 · The Evidence page extended with the Excavator’s E2/E3 figures, each carrying its class: 52 rejection events, 26 passage kills (calculated, the full candidate set hand-validated — a floor: the author’s Word-side reject channel has no transcript); typed-word survival 2,155 of 55,693 = 3.9% (calculated, thresholds stated). The E1 taxonomy paragraph carried to its canonical copy.
2026-07-14 · A truncated canonical ruling restored to true verbatim on the Journey page: the 28 May ISBN ruling now reads in full — "It's my book. In all forms. Needs my isbn. End of. I'll order another." (E4-08; the voice rule enforced — spelling and spacing are evidence.)
2026-07-14 · Chains 04–12 cut onto the Numbers room from the Excavator’s E4 delivery — twelve chains now on the record, each ending at the printed page or a verified deliberate absence; Chain 11’s endpoint cited to the First edition (the shipping interior) while every count stays on the frozen Ed1.05 counting master, the declared final-cut delta stated in place. The Evidence page’s new paragraphs carried to counsel’s canonical copy.
2026-07-14 · The Excavator’s E9/E10 figures added to the estate: the Word-side channel census (120 of 257 retained manuscript files carry tracked changes frozen in situ — sweep counts exact); fifty measured edit rounds — 34 accepted whole, 14 mixed by hand, 2 rejected entire (fates calculated; verdicts inferred from zero/non-zero diffs, methods in E9-02); all 36 surviving typed passages mapped to their printed pages (E10, double-verified).
2026-07-14 · The versions reconciliation, stated in public: the printed figure of record is 86 versions, V0 to V85; the on-disk integer chain closes at V84 and hands to the production sub-line; two version labels — V43 and V85 — carried working meaning without ever surviving as files. Same repair register as the census correction.
