Errata
Corrections, recorded
The book asks to be checked rather than believed — and that request is worth nothing unless an error, once demonstrated, is actually fixed, and unless the fixing is public. This page is that record. A new line appearing here is the mechanism working, not the book failing.
Corrections to date
Current version: 1.0.1. This is the edition in the downloads on this site and at the DOI, which always resolves to the newest version.
No corrections have been recorded against this version to date. When one is made, it will be listed here: what the text said, what it says now, why, and in which version the change landed.
No contested matters have been recorded to date. Where a genuine dispute arises that checking cannot settle, the book's stated policy is to record the disagreement alongside the claim rather than resolve it silently — including the complainant's own stated position, within reason, verbatim. Such entries will appear here too.

Reporting an error
Anyone — including anyone named in the book, or writing on their behalf — who can identify a factual error, a misattributed or superseded source, a development the record has since overtaken, or a claim that outruns the evidence offered for it is invited to say so: willowwhitman@proton.me.
Correspondence is acknowledged within seven days, and every claim of error is checked against the record it cites before it is answered. The full corrections policy is on the Legal page.
