You are holding a field manual. It is designed to be used, not displayed.
THE PAGES
Each page is a complete instrument. Guide Entries explain. Field Tests ask you to do something. Writing Surfaces are yours. AI Margin Notes are the machine commentary. Previous Reader annotations are evidence someone was here before you.
THE QR CODES
Each QR code connects to a specific session in the AI Field Companion. The companion extends the book. It does not replace it.
THE WRITING
Write in this book. It was designed for it. The writing surfaces are not decoration.
THE ORDER
Read in order the first time. After that, open to any page. If you read it once and never open it again, the Department has failed.
The purpose of research is not certainty. It is better questions.
