Official and Unofficial Editions
Except for the complete, unmodified edition publicly released by the author, no excerpted edition, translation, adaptation, interpretive edition, compiled edition, video adaptation, or other derivative version may be labeled as an “Official Edition,” nor may it state or imply that it has been recognized, endorsed, or officially authorized by the author.

AI Use Statement
During the writing of this book, the author used generative artificial intelligence tools for limited assistance in partial text generation, text organization, expression refinement, and formatting. Such use was carried out primarily on the basis of the theoretical framework, core ideas, argumentative logic, analogies, chapter structure, outline, and draft materials that had already been independently developed by the author.
The theoretical creation, research judgments, selection of arguments, lines of reasoning, and final writing decisions presented in this book were all independently made by and remain the responsibility of the author. Artificial intelligence tools are not the originator of the theory presented in this book, nor do they represent or replace the author’s academic judgment; their role was limited to textual assistance based on the author’s pre-existing ideas and materials.
Accordingly, the originality of the work, the academic responsibility for its content, and final responsibility for the text all rest with the author.
This series—
The EFT Manual of the Universe’s Underlying Mechanics—
is dedicated to my children, Yiyi and Tutu,
whom I have never forgotten.
In the years to come,
I will continue to seek the truth of the universe
and search for where you have gone.
