Author-approved, version-locked. AI-assisted research manuscript; not independently human peer-reviewed or safety-certified. The exact locked manuscript retains its pre-approval candidate wording; the separate lock record documents the later approval.
Hashes establish file identity, not scientific validity or efficacy. Only this approved v2.2.1 edition is supplied here.
Meaningful human oversight, inter-AI epistemic independence, conditional informational value of autonomous human inquiry, and the Structural Penalty of Enclosure. Unfavorable comparisons and limits remain part of the manuscript. This is not an operational AI safety or control mechanism.
