Bibliography

Every claim in this book links its source inline, at the point where it is made; this appendix gathers those 237 sources in one place, each listed once under the chapter that first cites it, in the order the book cites them. Each entry gives the title in its original language, the publisher or author, the publication date, and the evidence tier from Preface: How to Read This Book. A tier is the lower of who measured and how: T1 is independent measurement with a stated method, T2 is measured by the organisation running or selling the system with a stated method, T3 is telemetry or a report with a thin method, and T4 is a claim with no method. Flags ride alongside: secondary means the claim was read only in press coverage of a primary the book did not read; disputed means the parties' accounts conflict; policy means the source states a rule, not a result. "Tier not recorded" marks a framework, documentation page or background source the research never graded; it is not a verdict on quality. The tier belongs to the claim the book cites the source for, not to the publisher. Pages change: every link was accessed in October 2026, and an undated page is cited as it stood then.
