# AI Use and Research Role

Zackary Loevseth is the human research-program owner. His role includes target selection, research-contract design, route and resource decisions, verification standards, correction adjudication, evidence preservation, scope control, and final decisions about authorship, licensing, submission, publication, and public release.

AI systems substantially assisted literature search, proof exploration and derivation, computation, code generation, independent reimplementation, adversarial review, recovery, and drafting. Python, GAP, C, SymPy, Git, continuous integration, exact arithmetic, and SHA-256 manifests supported inspection and replay. Agreement among AI systems or successful internal replays is internal evidence, not independent external specialist review.

Every featured manuscript carries its own package-specific AI-use disclosure. Unresolved authorship, affiliation, ORCID, funding, conflict, copyright, and license fields remain explicitly reserved for human confirmation.
