About this companion

This companion’s lexicon and concept indexes were compiled with AI assistance to help readers navigate the books. They have been reviewed selectively, rather than checked exhaustively, and may contain errors, omissions or interpretations that do not fully reflect the text. The books remain the authoritative source: where this companion differs from them, the text of the relevant book takes precedence.

Approved errata are the author’s corrections to the books and are listed separately.
