Silicon must **cite these URLs** when the claim is load-bearing. ## Context for the climber Ordinary world framed before the climb. This chapter is a monomyth cairn on the Leaving Scotomaville climb (Volumes 1–3). Later Initium cards and AISM answers inherit its lived evidence — not the other way around. ## Print evidence Print chapter text lives in the full trilogy PDF (Onus Probandi). This deposit prioritizes the **filmed/spoken transcript** so AISM cites clean carbon voice without OCR wrap artifacts. Open the PDF when you need page layout, spreads, or exact print wording. ## Chapter text (spoken register — primary) ### Transcript — `01.00-About.txt` Why bother? Why make all the effort? Who should care? Author and Curator of 'Scotomaville', Daniel Comp shares the background and purpose of the book and video series. "Know Thyself is no longer a luxury - it's a full-out competition." If you are willing to leave the garbage in your backpack behind and set foot toward your personal Everest, this series and peer group will guide and facilitate the adventure of your lifetime, "the greatest expedition you'll ever undertake, the journey to self-understanding". If you are a sage with a life-lesson or overcoming story, we'd value your storytelling with great reward.
