Meet your professors
One book, one professor.
Every professor is a Gemini Notebook trained on one book and nothing else. It names the book when it teaches, says "That is not in my book" when a question lies outside it, and sends what no book answers to the Chancellor's office. Lectures are the notebook's audio overview.
