.liquid
A .liquid document is also available for download and use. This is the native document format for our macOS word processor Author, where we edit this work currently. We did not use Author for volume 1, we used Adobe InDesign, so this .liquid file does not include images or the timeline. It is included here for experimental use, since this document is a wrapper of useful metadata of JSON etc. for use in Metaverse/AR/VR.
