Sources
All 124 sources in 8 groups, checked between 23 September 2026 and 2 October 2026. Numbers match the small source markers on every page.
Every source this site draws on, with how each link was checked. “Link opened by AI and matched” means an AI model (Claude, or research agents it directed) opened the link, and the content matched what this site says. That is not the same as a person reading it. Robert is reading every source himself; each one he has read says so, with the date. “Link opened by a person, not by AI” means no AI model opened the page, often because the site blocks automated readers, so Robert opened it in a browser. Whether he has read it is shown on its own line. “Link not yet opened” means the link comes from an official index or search, but no one has opened it yet. “No public link yet” means it is listed as background reading, with no public link recorded. Where a copy of the page is saved at the Internet Archive, the entry links to it, so anyone can see the page as it was on that date. Sources Robert has read show the fingerprint of his own copy, so anyone with the same file can confirm it matches.
