The series builds a cumulative argument from formal axioms to a call to action. The total reading load exceeds 160,000 words across all papers and companions. This page offers **structured reading paths** matched to your background and available time. Each path lists documents in dependency order, with estimated reading times and exit ramps so you can stop at any point with a coherent understanding of what you have read so far. **Reading time estimates** assume ~250 words per minute for general reading and ~200 words per minute for formal/mathematical content. Actual times will vary by background and reading style. ---- Series at a Glance ===================== .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 :widths: 6 20 50 10 * - Code - Title - What It Does - Prereqs * - **b11** - PET: Formal Panentheism - 14 axioms in mereology + S5 modal logic formalizing "all is in God, but God exceeds all."

Where does this argument fail?"* **Background assumed:** Any. This path prioritizes documents that expose the system's known weaknesses, adversarial reviews, and author responses. Start with the strongest claims (b17, b18) and work backward to the foundations. .. admonition:: Deferred --- awaiting fresh hostile review The Skeptic reading paths are **not yet available.** Earlier adversarial reviews (Panels 1--5, conducted 2026m04d10 against MMv1 drafts) identified serious BREACHes, but many were corrected in subsequent revisions (MMv2, MMv3). Pointing skeptics to outdated critiques would misrepresent the current state of the papers --- a form of over-simplification. A fresh hostile review of the complete series in its **current versions** will be conducted once all papers reach near-final state. That review will produce the Skeptic's Express, Standard, and Deep paths based on the *actual* weaknesses that survive all revisions. **Prompt:** :doc:`hostile-review-current-prompt_dv_ClaOp46Max_v1_2026m04d18` **For now:** Skeptics are encouraged to start with b17-intro (the strongest testable claim) and b18 paper (the most ambitious claim), then read the papers in any order.

Where explicit word counts were recorded in production llogs, those are used instead. Reading speed is assumed at ~250 words/minute for general text and ~200 words/minute for formal/mathematical content. All times are rounded to the nearest minute. **Versioning.** All document links point to the latest available version as of 2026m04d18.
