Acknowledgments

Corben Sorenson inspired the idea of maintaining this work as a public living book through The ASI Stack. Its connection between evolving prose, sources, evidence, and open questions helped make the format tangible. This book was written independently; none of his manuscript, implementation, figures, or chapter structure is bundled here. No review or endorsement by Corben is implied.

Marc / @NeuralYogi and Rage Industries provide the published essays and public projects around which this fieldbook is organized. New chapter prose and the static reader were prepared with AI assistance and remain open to editorial correction. Publication is not a claim that every new sentence has received a separate line-by-line review by Marc.

Shared project contributors deserve attribution for the work under codeUTXO and The Last Byte Bar. Access to a shared repository does not establish sole authorship. Their public projects are discussed as shared or community efforts.

Upstream authors retain credit for the systems, libraries, papers, and games that make the examples possible. Agent integration and original experiments do not transfer authorship of those foundations. The Player Two essay distinguishes the browser/player integration from the existing game and emulator. The physical-interface essays acknowledge the Autonomous Labs design lineage.

Option Flow's public README credits Gene Kim's presentation and published explanation of option value as inspiration. This fieldbook describes Option Flow's documented method; it claims no new origin for that underlying idea.

The public source catalog records source identities and limitations. Sources are linked under their own rights. The three reproduced essays are Marc's already-published work, included for this book at his request.
