# AI use and author role

OpenAI model-assisted systems participated in proof reconstruction,
adversarial checking, software development, exact computation, source
organization, literature search, manuscript preparation, and release staging.
Automated systems are not authors and did not provide external peer review.

Zackary Løvseth selected and governed the research target, required the
verification and claim-boundary controls, and is the named human author in the
frozen manuscript and citation metadata. Public release does not substitute
for the author's personal inspection of every mathematical claim, citation,
disclosure, or later journal attestation.
