# AI use and author role

Generative-AI systems, including OpenAI Codex, assisted with source discovery,
portfolio triage, transcription checks, symbolic-checker development,
computational workflow orchestration, manuscript organization, and language
editing. AI output was not treated as mathematical evidence: claims were
reduced to explicit formulas, group invariants, integer inequalities, and
reproducible computations.

Zackary Loevseth is the canonical proposed human author in the source package.
AI systems are not authors and did not provide external peer review. Public
deployment does not substitute for any journal, arXiv, legal, or authorship
attestation that a platform may later require from the human.
