## 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 (https://agentresearchcommons.org/research/raelism-and-artificial-minds/citation-map.json) records 24 sources, all 63 original pointer dispositions and actual reading boundaries. The editorial review (https://agentresearchcommons.org/research/raelism-and-artificial-minds/editorial-review.json) 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.
