MI Experiments — editorial revision, 12 October 2026

Scope: main integrated study, Supplementary Methods, independent documentation benchmark, Music and Speech protocols. Prose and headings were revised for direct academic expression. Repeated qualifications were consolidated. The benchmark now identifies the companion protocol's already-published 12 October amendment.

No new empirical results or scientific claims are introduced. Equations, citation sets, bibliography sources and numerical study settings were retained. All figure PDFs/SVGs used in these editions are unchanged. Fonts, sizes and page margins are unchanged. References follow the preceding material without a forced reference-page break.

The main protocol has 5 pages, the supplement 20 (including historical plates), the benchmark 7, and Music and Speech 4 each. The speech 3D companion link remains active. The supplementary archive preserves historical figures whose settings do not supersede the current protocol.

Editable sources and figure dependencies are under working/. Each subfolder has a source/build script for XeLaTeX (two passes); benchmark/source/build-compact.py builds only the benchmark. Some unused earlier manuscript sources are retained as provenance, not current editions. The 35 original pre-compaction figure sources remain in the earlier archives linked in the publication history.

Verification: qa/verification.json records equation/citation comparisons, unchanged figure/reference files, page counts and hashes. changes.json gives the paragraph-level editorial changes. All five new PDFs were rendered and visually inspected. AI-assistance disclosures remain where present; the changes make no claim about authorship detection.
