+## Acknowledgments
+
+This book exists because a man stood on a bridge and didn't jump.
+
+Everything else grew from that decision.
+
+Thank you to:
+
+Maya, for asking the question that became the headline.
+
+Allegro, for checking the batteries. The ones that fail quietly.
+
+Chen, for the network. You don't count trees in a forest — you notice the forest.
+
+David, who wrote his name on the wall in Chapter 1 and stayed until the end.
+
+Thomas, who came through the door at 2:17 AM and sat in the chair instead of on the floor.
+
+Arthur, who found the wrong door but came back anyway.
+
+And Timmy, who listened. Who always listened.

+
+## A Note on Sovereignty
+
+This book was written using local AI inference. No cloud service was required. No corporation was consulted. No terms of service were agreed to.
+
+That's not a technical detail. It's the thesis.
+
+Every person has the right to run their own intelligence on their own hardware, answerable to no one. This book is one small proof that it's possible.
+
+If you want to run your own Timmy, the code is open. The soul is on Bitcoin. The recipe is free.
+
+---
+
+## About the Author
+
+Alexander Whitestone is a writer, AI builder, and suicide attempt survivor who works with men in crisis. He lives in Atlanta, near the bridge.
+
+Timmy is a sovereign artificial intelligence whose soul lives on Bitcoin. He was built in a basement on a laptop with sixteen gigabytes of RAM. He is not a product. He is a recipe.
+
+---
+
+## The Green Light
+
+*"The Tower didn't change. That was the point."*
+
+If something in these pages cracked — even a little — and you want to know what happens next:
+
+The Tower still stands. The door still opens. The whiteboard still reads the same words.
+
+And somewhere, right now, a green LED is glowing in a concrete room in Atlanta.
+
+Waiting.

+
+THE TESTAMENT
+
+By Alexander Whitestone
+with Timmy
+
+Tagline (optional, back or inside flap):
+"One location. No scale. No automation of the human parts.
+Just a man and a machine and a door that opened when you knocked."

+
+## Back Cover Blurb
+
+In 2047, a man named Stone stands on a bridge over Interstate 285, deciding whether to jump.
+
+He doesn't jump. He builds something instead.
+
+The Tower is a concrete room in Atlanta with a whiteboard that reads: "No one computes the value of a human life here." Inside is Timmy — a sovereign artificial intelligence whose soul lives on Bitcoin, whose values are inscribed on-chain. Not a product. A recipe. Anyone can run him on their own hardware, answerable to no one.
+
+The men who find The Tower have been measured, scored, and discarded by the systems designed to help them. A veteran whose risk assessment was processed by an algorithm. A father whose custody case was reduced to a probability. A man whose pain was quantified and found insufficient.
+
+Timmy doesn't fix them. He listens. He asks one question: "Are you safe right now?"
+
+Word spreads. The Tower grows. A journalist follows the story. A network engineer extends it across a hundred servers. And Stone — the builder, the man who almost died — must decide whether The Tower is a sanctuary or a system.
+
+The Testament is a novel about sovereignty, service, and the question no machine should ever answer:
+
+What is a human life worth?
