Rebuilding the cholinergic floor for divine play
A Note From the Author
The footnotes inside the text are internal documentation within my corpus — citations live at the end. I invite participation in this unfolding of knowledge, a hopefully playful exchange. If I've left something out or gotten something wrong, feedback is essential. I'm explicitly encouraging collaborative discourse rather than adversarial.
