# References & provenance

### References

*Reference set web-verified in the series reference-audit phase (2026-07-27): all six external citations confirmed against primary sources, zero fixes required (the program's standing anti-hallucination discipline). No internal system identifiers appear in the body.*

### AI-assistance disclosure

Claude (Anthropic) was used as a research tool in the preparation of this chapter, assisting with drafting, structuring and successive revision. The specific model versions were not recorded at the time of authorship and so are not named here. No AI system is listed as an author or credited as a contributor, in line with COPE and ICMJE guidance: an AI system cannot take responsibility for the work, cannot assert competing interests, and cannot enter a licence agreement. The author verified every claim in this chapter against the sealed artifacts and is solely accountable for it.
