An audit of the previous week's corrections automated review · 2026-10-02
Every correction made the week before was read again against the books; 317 findings were handled, most of them a chapter reference or a speaker.
Raised, and the page kept
- The essay says Carl uses the Gate of the Feral Gods; Katia is the one who opens it. Ruling: Kept. Katia opens the gate (book 4, ch. 34), to Carl's plan. The sentence is about whose use of the artifact it is, and that is his. 2026-10-02
- The essay says Carl concludes nothing the AI says can be trusted; he was speaking of its map labels. Ruling: Kept. Carl's words are 'we couldn't trust anything' (book 2, ch. 22), said of the AI's descriptions in general after 'like the hundredth time'. The paraphrase is fair. 2026-10-02
- The page gives 'one squad in three or four' as the floor's design; it is Katia's count. Ruling: Kept. The page says 'about', and the entry below it gives the count to Katia (book 6, ch. 59). A matter of emphasis. 2026-10-02
- The page says Carl earns a gold coin per kill without saying the kills must be other crawlers'. Ruling: Kept. The page calls it a royalty, which is the condition: 'For every kill made with this device by other crawlers' (book 1, ch. 35). 2026-10-02
- The row asks who 'she' is in the AI's achievement; ch. 38 offers a candidate, Agatha. Ruling: Kept. In book 7, ch. 38 the AI's 'chick' teaches it 'new shit every day' and Orren says drily 'She looks like Agatha'. A hint, not an answer; the row's question stays open. 2026-10-03
- Book 5's arc says Katia was told she could never be a mother; the line is a rhetorical question. Ruling: Kept. Fannar's 'Do you really think you could be a mother?' (book 5, ch. 78) is a telling in the form of a question. 2026-10-03
