Why we cite it

A book (208 pages per this record; an instant New York Times bestseller is from `verification-notes.txt` and unverified here, marked 2026-09-10) presenting a field-manual-style guide to mental and physical discipline. The core thesis — that self-imposed discipline creates rather than restricts freedom — provides a practical framework for self-governance. Referenced by 2 companion pages as at 2026-09-02, re-measured 2026-09-10 (310 and 315; this read 3 until then), primarily supporting the sovereignty/self-governance framing in companions about discipline and autonomy.
