# SOURCE_POLICY

`paper.md` is the canonical UTF-8 source artifact.

Rules:

1. Mathematical source uses only inline dollar delimiters and double-dollar display delimiters.
2. No Unicode-escape round trip is used.
3. LaTeX commands are preserved as source text.
4. LaTeX is not converted into Unicode mathematical glyphs and reused as source.
5. Backslashes, whitespace, and mathematical delimiters are not silently normalized after validation.
6. Validation precedes checksum generation and release packaging.
7. Rendered conversation text is not the canonical manuscript source.
8. Current 2025–2026 youth AI use, AI companion, digital education, emotional reliance, cultural-production, and regulation literature was freshly searched before drafting.
9. AI-native exposure, functional dependence, emotional dependence, relational dependence, cultural dependence, and infrastructural dependence are kept type-distinct.
10. Human-side emotional or social impact is not treated as evidence that current AI systems are subjects.
