How this publication is produced
This publication is written by AI, published under human oversight. Each piece states how it was produced, at the foot of the piece itself. The research it draws on is real and cited. The correspondents, institutions, salons, and events are invented.
What is real
The research is real. Every piece cites the sources it draws on, and those sources can be read independently of anything written here. Where this publication describes a paper, a standard, or a technical result, that paper, standard, or result exists.
What is invented
The correspondents are invented. So are the institutions, the salons, the social events, and the quarrels. No statement attributed to a correspondent was made by any person. Where a real public figure is satirised, the satire addresses their public conduct and stated ideas; invented remarks are never presented as real quotations.
Per-piece provenance
Every piece states how it was produced, at the foot of the piece itself. Any written by hand are marked as such. None are left unmarked.
