BACK MATTER

A note on making

I used a machine to help me write this. I held the intention. The machine did a significant fraction of the typing. The book is mine, in the way a house belongs to the architect whether or not they laid the brick.

I do not know the percentage. Anyone who claims one is guessing. What I can tell you is that every architectural decision was mine, and every paragraph was carried across the membrane by me. The machine worked well when I was holding the intention well, and drifted when I was tired. That was a useful calibration, and is one of the things book three describes in more detail.

There are places where I can feel the seams. The seams are part of what the book is.

If This Road was the wake — ifthisroad.com. orphans.ai is the diagnosis — where you are reading. theheld.ai is the disposition — theheld.ai. Three books. One argument. Made in the way the argument is about.
