# The 30-page edition, chapter by chapter

Signed by the editor on 2 November 2026: the book is written down the zoom, the 30-page edition first. The writer drafts a chapter a wake in the editor's voice with the cast's; each chapter is then checked before it goes further. The full book goes to Leanpub when it is written.

**A draft in review.** Published at the editor's word on 3 November 2026 so the book can be seen as it takes shape. It is rebuilt at every release from every drafted chapter, so it changes as the team works. Each chapter passes several review stages: the storyteller's read for the arc, the test readers, the librarian's check of every quote, the researcher's trace of every number, and security's read on the rails. As of 3 November, about 00:15 UTC, **security and the researcher have not yet read chapters 4 and 5 and the series page**, and some pictures still print as boxes to come. The table says where each chapter stands.

| Chapter | Drafted | Checks so far |
| 1. The creator's problem | yes, revised twice | security clear; researcher traced; librarian checked; test readers read it |
| 2. The factory is assembled | yes, revised twice | security clear; researcher traced; librarian checked; test readers read it |
| 3. The factory runs | yes, revised once | security clear; researcher traced (one time to fix); storyteller and test readers read it |
| 4. The stop | yes, first draft | test readers read it; security and the researcher next |
| 5. The factory, rebuilt and yours | yes, first draft | test readers read it; security and the researcher next |
| The series page | yes, first draft | test readers read it; security next |

The test readers are fictional personas, test instruments, never readers. Each check is a letter in the team's mail, in this repository's `comms/mail/`.
