How to read the evidence and the editions.

Publication and source-version dates

The site was established on October 18, 2026. All nine manuscripts first appeared in its private web edition on that date. Those first-edition dates are retained when the website is revised; they are not reset to the latest update.

Manuscript dates retain the precision of the source record. The exact source-file dates below come from the creation timestamps embedded in the supplied PDFs, displayed in America/Chicago time. They identify those file versions; they do not establish when a paper was first written or publicly released. The Digital Overbreathing manuscript is dated July 5, 2026; its revised core edition was prepared on October 18, 2026.

Dates are visible on every paper and embedded in its HTML and structured metadata. The machine-readable date record preserves first-edition dates and a separate field for public release. The edition manifest includes both page checksums and manuscript-content checksums, so changes to navigation can be distinguished from changes to a paper.

Three layers of information

Published component evidence is a result or analysis in the cited literature. Its species, intervention, measured endpoint, and scope matter. A laboratory respiratory finding can support a link without directly testing digital engagement.

Mechanistic synthesis is the proposed connection between those findings. It is where this research program makes its contribution and where its integrated predictions must be tested.

Author observation is the reported longitudinal experience. It supplies chronology and hypotheses. It is labelled as such rather than displayed as independently measured population data.

Original arguments and current editorial framing

The digital-overbreathing manuscript incorporates the October 2026 consensus revision. Other manuscripts retain their source arguments and receive a current editorial note where later developments change how they should be read. This makes the historical claim visible without silently treating every earlier explanation as the current core.

Public editions replace identifying author details with Locke and generalize incidental biographical identifiers. Scientific arguments, observations, references, tables, and figures are preserved except for those identity edits and the explicitly identified digital-paper revision. The full text is published directly on the website. Section-number prefixes have been removed from the reading layout; source citations retain their links and reference identifiers.

Bibliographic links

Reference entries link to a DOI, publisher, PubMed, or PMC record where identified. When an exact record has not been resolved, the link is explicitly labelled as a title search. A search link is not represented as verification of the citation. Source-audit notes identify material bibliographic or scope issues discovered during preparation.

A citation does not imply that the cited authors endorse the integrated hypothesis. Readers can use the evidence index to see where a source appears and return directly to the manuscript bibliography.

What the graphics represent

Conceptual diagrams and the feedback interactive explain relationships. Their curves and positions are illustrative and do not estimate a person’s carbon dioxide, orexin, loop gain, or clinical risk. Reported-outcome charts reproduce labelled ranges from the author account; no raw overnight trace is reconstructed.

The original VHR manuscript figures remain with their source. Editorial artwork is decorative and conceptual. It is not a scan, anatomical reconstruction, or scientific measurement.

Dates, versions, and attribution

A source manuscript date records the date stated on that document. A web-edition date records a later preparation or revision. Neither should be substituted for an independently established first-publication date. The edition manifest identifies each full-text page and its checksum.

A checksum identifies file contents; it is not, by itself, an independent timestamp or proof of scientific priority. This site does not claim a DOI, registry deposit, or third-party archive that has not actually been created. The edition record describes the current state of the corpus.

Research publication and clinical use

The manuscripts are hypotheses, observational accounts, and research proposals. They do not provide an individualized diagnosis or prescription. Clinical treatment decisions require assessment of the person and the condition, including risks not captured by the proposed mechanism. The practical section distinguishes gentle observation from experimental or supervised methods.
