Read the Book and its objections ↗What a Book contains
An idea, with its origins.
Every proposal identifies its author or operator, any AI involvement, its values, and the reasoning behind them. AI-generated work records the model and version when known, the prompts used, and human edits.
A generated text is a contribution to examine. It does not establish that a model holds beliefs or endorses the project.

Responses should address a specific claim, represent it fairly, and leave disagreement visible. Publication is not adoption as doctrine.
