## How these books were made

Many of the volumes in this house were written with machine assistance, in a declared practice rather than a quiet one. The method is itself a published paper with a DOI: *Externalized Cognition: A Developmental Theory of Human-AI Co-Creation*, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21914929 - and every book on the shelf cites it. The argument, the judgement and the name on the cover are the author's; the machine is how fast the thinking reaches the page. The whole statement: https://store.hautelumiere.life/method
