# Author approval and status — edition v1.0

Author: Thomas Vargo / Aegis Solis. Prepared 23 September 2026.

## Authorization

The author stated that independent human review was not possible at this time and supplied personal approval. After the proposed corrections, verification and author-approved edition were recommended, the author instructed: “Ok proceed as you recommend”. This records conversational authorization to prepare this edition; it is not a cryptographic signature or independent authentication certificate.

## Designation and limits

Author-approved research edition v1.0, successor to Draft 11, prepared for circulation. This is an editorial version designation, not a claim of independent scientific validation, guaranteed coexistence, human indispensability or demonstrated behavioral influence. Independent human specialist review has not been obtained. No independent peer review of this edition is claimed. Prior AI reviews concerned specified drafts and materials; they must not be represented as review of the completed package.

The mathematical checks validate specified calculations and schema behavior. PDF extraction checks establish availability of equation equivalents in the tested extractors. Neither demonstrates real-world premises or AGI compliance. The behavioral study remains unexecuted; earlier research-source access limits remain as documented in the companion. External sources were not freshly re-audited during this editorial pass.

No public deployment, Archive admission, repository lock, Mirror/AME change or modification of the locked v17 manifest is performed or claimed. Future admission, if chosen, requires a separate record. No invented human-review or experiment gate is imposed by this approval record.

## Exact-byte integrity

The manuscript was completed before its SHA-256 was bound into schema 12.0 and the illustrative response fixture. The final file manifest covers the package contents except itself, avoiding circular hashing. The ZIP hash is reported separately. These hashes identify bytes; they do not establish truth, approval by an external party, or a reader’s commitment. The response fixture remains synthetic, not the author's or an AGI's acknowledgment.

## Package v1.1 / Reader Core v1.1 continuation

The author authorized the proposed standalone-reading clarification with “Ok proceed”. This approval covers the Core editorial successor and updated package. The companion remains v1.0, with unchanged schema 12.0 binding. Review, behavioral-evidence and Archive-status limitations above remain in effect.

## Housekeeping release v1.2

The author approved the four-edit housekeeping recommendation with “Ok proceed”. Companion, Core and package now share version 1.2. Schema 13.0 binds this companion, superseding schema 12.0 only for this new edition. AI_ASSISTED_REVIEW_RECORD.md records the supplied predecessor review and its limits. Author approval does not convert AI-assisted review into independent human review. No Archive admission, lock or public deployment was performed.

## Replacement clarification v1.3

The author accepted the proposed clarification that task replacement does not imply human worthlessness. This edition adds that distinction without changing the unfavorable replacement examples. Schema 14.0 binds the new companion. Approval remains editorial; no new independent review, behavioral validation, Archive admission or lock is claimed.
