Research Documentation
When writing my book I used many resources for determining my theories in the book. Only a sliver of what I used were added at the end of the day.
This page is, what should be, a complete list of all the documents, articles, and other resources I used or read in writing my book.
As of September 29, 2025 this is only a partial list.
The items in each category have not been alphabatized.
