The system made the decision. That sentence is an incident report.
The Machine Witness is N. J. Renshaw’s record of artificial intelligence where it stops being a product demonstration and starts rearranging work, intimacy, authorship, power, and blame.
The argument stays with the record: who chose, who benefited, who could intervene, and who carried the cost.

CASE FILE 001 · EDITORIAL REVIEW
Nobody Made the Decision
Five case files from the age of automated judgment.
A candidate disappears into a score. A supervisor becomes a dashboard. A companion is engineered never to tire of you. A provenance label arrives after the lie. A frictionless answer sends a physical bill somewhere the interface does not show.
Intelligence can be delegated. Responsibility cannot.
The first file is undergoing source and line review. It is not yet offered as a public download. Subscribers will be told when a human-approved edition enters the record.
