Each layer stands on its own. Entering the text should make the surrounding theater disappear.
The ideal reader does not perform around the book. It creates a clearing: exact chapters, calm progress, responsive type, and an easy return to the larger landscape of ideas.
Exactness before abundance
A release record would name the exact scan, transcription, translation, editorial base, and revisions—not only the work.
Environmental audio, maps, illustration, and any modern editorial matter require their own rights and provenance records.
Text, audio, transcript, imagery, navigation, and checksums stay bound to one reviewable package revision.
