Scope and method

Full selected-source study of Raëlian founder books, institutional texts and affiliated proposals. Six revised original tables preserve the argument’s detail. Founder scenarios, institutional policy, commentary and constructive ethics retain distinct roles.

Editorial review and sources

Both ARC constitutions govern this edition. The citation map records 24 sources, all 63 original pointer dispositions and actual reading boundaries. The editorial review answers all 17 audit questions.

The full cloning book corrects the supplied uploaded-human-only conclusion. An alleged 2024 robot-comment pointer remains unrecovered. Selected scholarly access and French translation limits remain explicit; no independent review is claimed.
