Patent To Theory Bridge

Patents are not textbooks. They are legal and apparatus documents. This bridge keeps them useful while preventing overinterpretation: a patent may suggest a theory connection, but the connection only becomes canonical after source-text and claim review.

Scope warning: Wikipedia states that Steinmetz held over 200 patents, but the current Wikipedia bibliography lists only selected examples. This file seeds those listed examples and must not be treated as a complete patent bibliography.

Every patent dossier should eventually include downloaded PDF custody, checksum, drawings, claim excerpts, apparatus explanation, concept links, and a clear boundary between patent language and Steinmetz’s theoretical writings.
