Books and Textbooks
Begin with two rendered textbook collections and one governed technical monograph. Continue into four provisional research-development volumes for more focused study.
Publication State
The four volume pages and their canonical LaTeX sources are available at the reviewed revision. Their notebook companions are scaffolded, meaning the file and tutorial title exist; that status does not establish numerical correctness, successful execution, dependency availability, or reproducibility. The proximal-to-distal monograph is an available computational publication with an immutable source manifest and exact PDF, chapter, and evidence contracts. It is not a completed or peer-reviewed textbook, an archival or PID-qualified publication, human validation, coaching guidance, or a software capability promise.
Use the cards below or the Read menu to move between these pages. Individual chapter pages are indexed in Article Index.
Core Textbooks and Monographs
The Physics of Golf
Golf-specific textbook chapters on mechanics, control-affine modeling, multibody dynamics, shaft behavior, impact, and motor control.
The Geometry of Motion
Mathematical and computational foundations for rigid-body dynamics, nonlinear control, biomechanics, neural control, and simulation.
Proximal-to-Distal Energy Transfer in the Golf Swing
A governed 37-chapter technical monograph on model-conditioned transfer mechanisms, counterfactual attribution, uncertainty, falsification, and open evidence boundaries.

Proximal-to-Distal Study Library
Use the technical monograph as the governed reference. Choose the companion for a more accessible reading path, the summary for a shorter synthesis, and the workbench for exploratory model runs. A model result remains conditional on its declared system, state, inputs, and comparison; none of these routes establishes human validation or a universal swing prescription.
- Technical Monograph: the computational publication, exact source authority, equations, claims, falsifiers, and evidence ledgers.
- How a Golf Swing Carries Energy: a 30-chapter visual companion with the same interpretation boundaries.
- Technical Summary: a shorter route through the central counterfactual and energy-accounting arguments.
- Interactive Model Workbench: guided exploratory experiments whose outputs are not measured golfer data.
