Field notes

The project organizes its work into one-book seasons and says a season starts only after its text is in hand. Its stated checking method separates what a source says from the site's own commentary, preserves gaps instead of filling them with guesses, and labels translations as AI-assisted and checked against the original. The homepage also discloses that voices and paintings are AI-made; its next listed subjects are royal life, archery, and tree care.
