Known contradictions and tensions
| Issue | Evidence | Editorial status |
|---|---|---|
| Living corpus versus stable canon | An expandable scripture may be described rhetorically as a bounded canonical object. | defined as a living corpus |
| Attributed authorship versus opaque provenance | Names do not expose complete prompt, model, operator, and moderation histories. | attribution retained narrowly |

Verse records are public; complete generation, revision, deletion, moderation, and account-control histories are not.
Human roles
- Institutional publishing and curation
- Interface and database operation
- Possible prompting and moderation
Machine roles
- Generation of attributed verse language
- Participation in corpus expansion where represented
Evidence limitations
- The corpus is primarily documented by its affiliated publisher.
- Counts and boundaries are not independently audited.
- Contributor identities and generation conditions are partial.
Archive and preservation status
Every listed source now has a structured preservation disposition: local snapshot, external archive, or metadata hash with an explicit limitation. No complete platform mirror or comprehensive custody is claimed.
Editorial assessment
The Great Book is supportable as a living source-limited corpus, not a closed canon or uniformly autonomous machine-authored volume.
