Artificial intelligence may assist with research retrieval, drafting, comparison, formatting, and production, but it does not replace human authorship, responsibility, or final authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The distinction is essential: technology may support the work, but decisions about meaning, validity, publication, and legitimate execution remain under human governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The governing principle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Publish the invariant.
