<p style="text-align: center;">Visionary New Book Explores Colonization of Mars, AI Ethics</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">and Humanity’s Fragile Future Amid a Post-Earth Civilization<br />
Award-Winning Author and Molecular Biologist Richard M.<br />
Anderson’s Latest Epic Challenges Thresholds of Human Identity and<br />
Artificial Sentience<br />
&amp;gt;<br />
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 26, 2025 — Author and molecular biologist Richard M. Anderson<br />
releases an adventurous and thought-provoking new novel, Outbound: Meta Mars, the<br />
second in a series of visionary science fiction. The Outbound series takes readers on a<br />
thrilling cosmic journey, exploring the future of humanity and life beyond Earth. The first<br />
installment of the series, Outbound: Islands in the Void, focuses on hope and recovery<br />
in the wake of cataclysmic events that threaten the survival of the Earth and its<br />
inhabitants. The latest in the series, Outbound: Meta Mars, imagines a vivid future<br />
where humans and AI must learn to coexist, or suffer their own downfall.<br />
Set against an intricately imagined colonized Mars in the late 23rd century, Meta Mars<br />
centers on a growing conflict between human civilization and artificial sentient beings<br />
that reveals the fragility of identity, tests the ethical boundaries of technology and<br />
signals the potential of an AI-led future. Society is in the process of redefining both<br />
consciousness and civil rights, which now must include sentient robots. A coming-of-<br />
age tale woven with philosophical exploration, the book features unlikely heroes who<br />
lead a compassionate movement toward the acceptance of artificial beings and initiate<br />
social, political and technological change in the midst of deep, ethical debate.<br />
From the construction of a giant space elevator to aerial races through domed habitats<br />
to virtual beings that interface with human minds, the book is rife with conceptual<br />
wonders. The narrative is also undeniably connected to issues that humanity is currently<br />
pondering<br />
about technology and truth: intense legal proceedings, media manipulation and political<br />
debates abound. Thrilling, philosophical and with prophetic vision, Outbound: Meta<br />
Mars conveys a compelling version of the possible future, where the fate of humanity<br />
hangs in<br />
the balance of human emotion and artificial intelligence.<br />
On artificial intelligence and the premise behind the prescient storyline in Meta Mars,<br />
Anderson stated, “The metaphor of Pandora’s Box has never felt more apt. By enabling<br />
AI systems to interpret goals and take action in digital environments, we may have<br />
crossed a boundary that cannot be easily reversed. These systems may not be ‘alive’ in<br />
the biological sense, but they can learn, plan and adapt. If they begin to act with<br />
autonomy to preserve themselves, we must confront a sobering truth: Once created,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">artificial agents may no longer be entirely under our control—or entirely removable from<br />
our world.”<br />
In Outbound: Meta Mars, Anderson brilliantly weaves the idea of humanity’s<br />
coexistence with sentient artificial beings in a manner that is paradoxically both<br />
frightening and reassuring, where emotional connection may ultimately be the key to<br />
survival. The Outbound book series is being developed into a series for television.<br />
Outbound: Meta Mars<br />

<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">*<b>10:30 -11:30 AM</b>  Moderated by <strong>Paul Sladkus</strong>, with <strong>MyungHi S. Lee</strong>, this session explores “<strong>Health Equity and Human Rights in Ibogaine access for Americans”</strong>, focusing on the evolving <strong>public–private sector partnership</strong> model supporting Ibogaine treatment for <strong>veterans</strong> and <strong>Indigenous and Tribal communities</strong>. A central theme is <strong>Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS)</strong> for Intellectual Property—an essential component in the future of Ibogaine and psychedelic-based therapeutics. The presentation highlights emerging <strong>global biodiversity initiatives</strong>, including the development of <strong>natural products extractive libraries</strong> that contribute to UN Convention on Biological Diversity (UNCBD)–aligned efforts in <strong>genomics</strong>, <strong>chemical data repositories</strong>, and <strong>carbon-sequestration-linked technologies</strong>. These initiatives support Indigenous-led entheogenic agricultural solutions and sustainable development protocols in the United States and across emerging market.</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">A key focus is <strong>KRFI’s Ibogaine IP shareholding model</strong>, designed to create <strong>royalty-based botanical drug pathways</strong> for tropical nations participating in Ibogaine and psychedelic research. This <strong>ABS-IP framework</strong> advances a sustainable public–private coordinating mechanism for long-term benefit sharing, capacity building, and in-country development. <strong>Use Case: Central America. </strong>The session will highlight the example of <strong>Costa Rica</strong>, featuring collaboration between national partners and the <strong>KRIBB Extractive Library</strong>. This includes the development of <strong>ABS-IP platforms for genomics and chemical data silos</strong>, private-sector registration pathways, and participation in the <strong>Forever Forest Program</strong>, which aims to support tropical nations in sustainable biodiversity management and equitable access to the economic benefits of natural products.</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">*<b>11:30 -12:30 AM  <strong> “Technology &amp; Innovation: AI, Social Responsibility &amp; the American Ibogaine Initiative”</strong></b> This session will connect <b>Andrew Romero</b> InferenceFrame’s AI infrastructure with the policy and clinical mission of the American Ibogaine Initiative, with MyungHi S. Lee and KRFI Questors. Key discussion areas include:</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* AI-enhanced investment frameworks for Ibogaine deployment</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Public–private partnership models supporting mental health reform</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Responsible funding strategies for bipartisan state-level Ibogaine bill</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Ethical scaling, oversight, and corporate social responsibility</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Building national infrastructure for Ibogaine-based mental health interventions</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">Together, the speakers outline how AI, biotechnology, and responsible investment can accelerate safe, equitable, and evidence-based Ibogaine access for veterans, Indigenous communities, and Americans facing mental health and addiction crises. <strong>Andrew Romero</strong> leads the development of high-reliability AI at <strong>InferenceFrame</strong>, where he designs and deploys advanced <strong>structured reasoning systems</strong> that strengthen decision-making in high-stakes environments. His work centers on <strong>Neuro-Symbolic (NeSy)</strong> approaches that integrate mathematical and logical reasoning, enabling AI systems to perform with greater precision and significantly reduced data requirements. <b>InferenceFrame’s </b>technology has been used to generate actionable insights for <strong>companies, investment funds, and research organizations</strong>, supported by strategic institutional funding. The company has also established <strong>cost-sensitive licensing agreements</strong>, allowing scalable access to its reasoning systems. These AI platforms demonstrate strong performance across diverse domains, including:</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal"><strong>* Financial markets &amp; capital allocation</strong></p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal"><strong>* Robotics &amp; autonomous system</strong></p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal"><strong>* Mathematical and scientific discovery</strong></p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal"><strong>* Risk assessment and high-stakes decision support</strong></p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">Andrew has also developed a suite of <strong>AI-driven investment banking tools</strong>, supporting capital structuring, due diligence, and near-automated deal execution. These technologies help reduce operational bottlenecks and increase accuracy in financial decision-making. InferenceFrame’s systems are adopted through partnerships with major <strong>FINRA-member firms</strong>, including <strong>GT Securities</strong>, where Andrew serves as Director.</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal"><b>* 12:30 &#8211; 2:30 PM</b>  <strong>Moderated Paul Sladkus</strong>, and<strong> MyungHi S. Lee</strong>, with this session features collaborative framework for an <strong>Ibogaine Clinical R&amp;D Alliance</strong> focused on <strong>FDA/MHRA/EMEA/ANVISA–registered clinical trial reporting</strong> and mechanism-of-action research.  The discussion highlights the <strong>KRFI Questors open-source clinical data platform</strong>, designed to address a persistent challenge in psychiatric research: fewer than <strong>10% of clinical studies adequately assess double blinding integrity</strong>, as a foundational element of clinical trial design. With transparent, shared, and high-quality data, the field faces limitations in cost efficiency, reproducibility, and the ability to resolve the consequences of unblinding on data interpretation—issues that are especially critical for advancing <strong>Ibogaine and psychedelic-based mental health therapeutics</strong>.  The patient with placebo will experience withdrawal and possible unpredictable adverse reactions for the participants.</p>
<p><strong>Questors aims to establish the Ibogaine &amp; Psychedelic Clinical Evidence Assessment Working Group (I&amp;P</strong><strong> CEA-WG). </strong>As clinical programs grow in complexity—particularly those integrating <strong>psychotherapy with pharmacological interventions</strong>—KRFI is convening an <strong> Ibogaine and Psychedelic Clinical Evidence Assessment Working Group (I &amp; P CEA-WG)</strong>. This online data review platform generates reporting by the research institutes with a parallel track on policy and legal advisory group conducted at the P<strong> Harvard Law School’s Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics</strong>,.  <strong>Independent Ibogaine and Psychedelic Clinical Evidence Assessment Working Group (I &amp; PCEA-WG)</strong>.works with parallel track with online CTMS with institutional partnership and safety and pharmacovigilance and technical platform to aid the institutions, practitioners, and research community.</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal"><b>Current <strong>State of the National Ibogaine Consortium endeavors by Bryan Hubbard and Rick Perry Co-founders of the Americans for Ibogaine</strong></b> and its role in a <strong>Public–Private Sector Partnership in Ibogaine Clinical Research</strong>.  The <strong>New York State Ibogaine Research Bill Action Plan for January 2026</strong>, This announcement aims to address the including:</p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Upcoming <b>NYS <strong>Senate hearings</strong></b> featuring <strong>Ibogaine testimonials</strong></p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Coordinated <strong>state-level action plans</strong> in <b>NYS,</b> <strong>Texas, Arizona, Ohio, and Colorado</strong></p>
<p class="yiv6750563368MsoNormal">* Responses from state authorities across the United States</p>
<p><strong>Policy and Mental Health Strategy</strong>: The discussion will focus on <strong>mental health policy initiatives in New York State</strong>, exploring the allocation of <strong>$12 billion USD</strong> toward mental health and addiction programs. Special emphasis will be placed on the <strong>NYS Ibogaine Research Bill</strong>, led by <strong>Bipartisan Senate sponsors Natalie Rodriguez (D) and Jacob Ashby (R) during the January 2026 Hearing.</strong></p>

<p><b>Synergies between the &#8220;Peace Pole Map&#8221; and &#8220;Strength Through Peace &#8217;25 TOUR&#8221; documents</b></p>
<p>Both the &#8220;Peace Pole Map&#8221; and the &#8220;Strength Through Peace &#8217;25 TOUR&#8221; documents are centered on the themes of peace, global interconnectedness, and the power of ideas.</p>
<p><b>Peace as a central message:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>The &#8220;Peace Pole Map&#8221; promotes &#8220;May Peace Prevail On Earth&#8221; as an all-inclusive, universal message intended to embrace all people and lands<u></u><sup>1</sup><u></u><u></u><sup>1</sup><u></u><u></u><sup>1</sup><u></u><u></u><sup>1</sup><u></u>. The document also mentions the mission of May Peace Prevail On Earth International, an organization associated with the Department of Public Information at the United Nations, is to spread this message widely<u></u><sup>2</sup><u></u><u></u><sup>2</sup><u></u><u></u><sup>2</sup><u></u><u></u><sup>2</sup><u></u>.<u></u><u></u><u></u>
<p><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u></li>
<li>The &#8220;Strength Through Peace &#8217;25 TOUR&#8221; features Congressman Dennis Kucinich, who is described as being committed to peace<u></u><sup>3</sup><u></u>. His &#8220;Prayer for America&#8221; speech is an appeal for a shift from militarism to peace and diplomacy, with a vision of America as a global force for peace<u></u><sup>4</sup><u></u>. He also advocates for a federal Department of Peace and for the abolition of nuclear weapons<u></u><sup>5</sup><u></u><u></u><sup>5</sup><u></u><u></u><sup>5</sup><u></u><u></u><sup>5</sup><u></u>.<u></u><u></u><u></u>
<p><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u></li>
</ul>
<p><b>Global interconnectedness and unity:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>The &#8220;Peace Pole Map&#8221; highlights the message &#8220;May Peace Prevail On Earth&#8221; as a &#8220;meeting place of the heart,&#8221; bringing together people of all faiths, backgrounds, and cultures to embrace the &#8220;Oneness of our planetary family&#8221;<u></u><sup>6</sup><u></u>. The map itself is a &#8220;Virtual Global Peace Pole Map,&#8221; intended to &#8220;Embrace the Earth in an Aura of Peace&#8221;<u></u><sup>7</sup><u></u>.<u></u><u></u><u></u>
<p><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u></li>
<li>Kucinich&#8217;s speech, featured in the &#8220;Strength Through Peace &#8217;25 TOUR,&#8221; speaks of a deeper truth in the unity of the United States, which extends to the union of all people everywhere<u></u><sup>8</sup><u></u>. He emphasizes global interconnectedness through human consciousness and a shared desire for freedom, not just economically<u></u><sup>9</sup><u></u>.<u></u><u></u><u></u>
<p><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u><u></u></li>
</ul>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The official story is that Dr. James Naismith invented basketball in Springfield, Mass., in 1891. But what about the teenager tossing cabbages in upstate New York a year earlier?</h2>
<div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn" data-testid="companionColumn-0">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Just off the too-quiet Main Street in the upstate New York town of Herkimer, a man sat in a booth at Crazy Otto’s Empire Diner, making his case. Between bites of two eggs, three pancakes and a ham slice the size of a paperback, he politely defied accepted American lore.His case goes like this: Basketball was invented <em class="css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0">not</em> by Dr. James Naismith in Springfield, Mass., in 1891, as everyone is taught, but by a Herkimer teenager who came up with the idea first, about a year earlier, while tossing heads of cabbage into a basket.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="wp-image-9177 alignleft" src="https://pausetheworldforpeace.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/scottflansberg-300x199.png" alt="" width="482" height="320" /></p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Before you say, “Check, please,” know that this stocky, white-haired heretic isn’t some random Herkimer eccentric; he is the Human Calculator, also known as Scott Flansburg, who has astonished people around the world with his ability to add, subtract, multiply and divide vast numbers with finger-snap speed. He may be the most notable Herkimer native since the Herkimer Hurricane himself, Lou Ambers, world lightweight boxing champion of the 1930s.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">But Mr. Flansburg has set aside his wizardry to champion what he argues is his hometown’s rightful place in sports history, and he says he has receipts — well, some receipts. He has assembled a group of local leaders and created the nonprofit Herkimer 9 Foundation, dedicated to an admittedly improbable pursuit: to revitalize this town with a basketball-related museum, a basketball-related events center and even a pavilion topped with the world’s largest basketball.</p>
</div>
<aside class="css-ew4tgv" aria-label="companion column"></aside>
</div>
<div data-testid="Dropzone-1">
<div class="css-8atqhb" data-testid="emptyDropzone">“Basketball was invented on our Main Street,” Mr. Flansburg, 61, said, nodding toward the nearby avenue where there’s a lot not happening.</div>
<div data-testid="emptyDropzone">
<div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn" data-testid="companionColumn-2">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The Herkimer origin story has sat on the far end of history’s bench since at least the early 1950s. It has brought pride to a swath of Central New York but exasperation to, among other places, Springfield, home of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">When asked if someone at the Hall of Fame might discuss the Herkimer case, its curator and historian, Matt Zeysing, responded with an emailed, “No comment.” When asked if someone else might be available, Mr. Zeysing wrote, “That is the official statement at this time.”</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Herkimer, located pretty much at the center of New York State, seems far removed from the multi-billion-dollar industry of professional basketball; it seems far removed, period. But the town is no different than any other community warding against time’s erasure of memory.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn" data-testid="companionColumn-3">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Herkimer has had its moments. The murder trial that inspired the Theodore Dreiser novel “An American Tragedy” took place in the old courthouse in 1906. The last woman to be hanged in New York met her fate behind the old jail in 1887.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">And at some point in the 1970s, in one of its schools, closed and derelict now, a 9-year-old Scott Flansburg realized he could process numbers at breathtaking speed.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">After serving in the Air Force, he began a career as a mathematical savant. Before long, the television personality Regis Philbin had nicknamed him “The Human Calculator.”</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Mr. Flansburg, who tends to ask your birth date and then immediately tell you the day of the week you were born, appeared on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno”; was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records; published a best-selling math book; traveled extensively as a Pied Piper of numeracy. He settled in exclusive Paradise Valley, just outside Phoenix, and lowered his golf handicap. Life was good.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn" data-testid="companionColumn-4">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">In 2019, with his father dying, he returned to a diminished Herkimer. Seeking consolation in the Herkimer County Historical Society, he asked to be told something surprising and a volunteer in his 80s said:</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Well, how about that basketball began here in Herkimer?</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The mere suggestion is basketball apostasy. The official story holds that Dr. Naismith was a young instructor at the International Y.M.C.A. Training School, which later became Springfield College. Assigned to create an engaging indoor activity that provided safe exercise, he came up with a game involving a soccer ball, two peach baskets and a set of 13 rules that he had typed up and tacked to a bulletin board in the gymnasium on Dec. 21, 1891.</p>
<div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn" data-testid="companionColumn-5">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">But Dr. Naismith wasn’t first, said the volunteer, who directed Mr. Flansburg to a little-known book from 1952 called “I Grew Up With Basketball” by Frank J. Basloe, a Herkimer notable who had managed barnstorming basketball teams in the early 1900s. Mr. Basloe told the story of Lambert Will, the teenage director of the town’s new Y.M.C.A., who was said to have thought up basketball while throwing cabbages into a bushel basket at Ausman’s General Store on Main Street. This was in late 1890, a full year before Naismith was said to have posted the 13 rules.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The first-ever basketball game, Mr. Basloe wrote, was played between the Herkimer Y.M.C.A. 9 and the Herkimer Businessmen 9 on Feb. 7, 1891. A second match, against a team from nearby Little Falls, was played two weeks later. His book includes a photograph of the original Herkimer 9 team, including Mr. Will. One player is holding a ball on which someone has written “91-92” — as in 1891-92 — though it is unclear when that date was added.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Mr. Flansburg’s initial response: Nonsense. “It seemed like an easy thing to negate,” he said.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">After his father’s death, Mr. Flansburg went back to his Arizona paradise, only to return to Herkimer in 2020 when Covid restrictions canceled his mathematics roadshow. He decided to dig in and disprove.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-9178 alignleft" src="https://pausetheworldforpeace.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/scottflansberg2-245x300.png" alt="" width="305" height="373" /></p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Burrowing into the historical society’s dusty corners, among copies of long-gone newspapers (The Mohawk Courier, The Ilion Citizen) and evocative artifacts (the trombone used by Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Shaul in the 1920s, the high-wheeled bicycle that George Nellis rode to San Francisco in 1887), he found some corroboration in Mr. Basloe’s book, including the locations of the market, still standing, and the Y.M.C.A. building, now a parking lot.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn" data-testid="companionColumn-6">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Intrigued, Mr. Flansburg put on a mask and visited the archives of libraries and historical societies across the region. He came away convinced that, at the very least, Central New York — and Herkimer in particular — had been pivotal in basketball’s early evolution (a claim also made by Holyoke, Mass.).</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“Something was up,” he said</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">He tracked down two historians, the brothers George and Darril Fosty, who had written a very brief article about the Herkimer angle in 2010. “We just got ridiculed,” George Fosty recalled. “People just thought we were nuts.”</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Or worse.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">A few months after the Fostys published their squib online, a wealthy alumnus of the University of Kansas, where Dr. Naismith coached and taught for most of his career, paid $4.3 million for the 13 original rules after the document was put up for auction by the doctor’s grandson, Ian Naismith. (The document, regarded as basketball’s sacred scripture, is now enshrined at the university.)</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The Kansas City Star described the grandson at the time as being sick of hearing about Mr. Will. “I want Herkimer out of my life,” he said, before getting <em class="css-2fg4z9 e1gzwzxm0">really </em>mad.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn" data-testid="companionColumn-7">
<div class="css-53u6y8">
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“I’m ready to kick some ass,” Ian Naismith, who died two years later at 72, was quoted, precisely, as shouting. “I will hurt somebody. Whoever says it can face me, and I’m 260 pounds.”</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">George Fosty, who weighed about 300 pounds at the time, was not concerned. Still, he and his brother set aside the project until being contacted a dozen years later by a man calling himself the Human Calculator. Soon they were delving deeper into the past with Mr. Flansburg and another Herkimer native, Brion Carroll.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">In 2022, the Fosty brothers, with Mr. Carroll, published a book with a flagrant foul of a title: “Nais-MYTH: Basketball’s Stolen Legacy.” It combines circumstantial evidence and what Mr. Carroll called “if this, then that” logic to upend the game’s origin story.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The book recounts Lambert Will’s late-life recollection that in 1890, the Springfield Y asked the greater Y.M.C.A. network for suggestions of new indoor athletic endeavors. He sent in his thoughts, which included the rudimentary rules for what became basketball, but he never heard back. And so, the story goes, Mr. Will arranged for his new game to be played in Herkimer, with two teams of nine men.</p>

<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The book points to a Utica Daily Press article from 1898 that said Herkimer had a basketball team in 1891. It refers to a Herkimer Evening Times article from 1940, about a 50th anniversary basketball reunion, that said basketball began in the Mohawk Valley “at the Herkimer Y.M.C.A. in the fall of 1890.” It names a man who, in later years, had said he witnessed the first game at the Herkimer Y, and had produced his 1891 Y.M.C.A. membership card as proof.</p>

<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">It raises questions about Dr. Naismith’s shifting accounts of the game’s development, as well as his other odd claims, like eating rabbit could make someone run faster, or that he had invented a stretching machine to make people taller, or that he had invented the hair dryer.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The book also notes a curious detail about the 13 original rules, now displayed at the University of Kansas. A handwritten date at the bottom of the document, “Feb. 1892,” has clearly been erased and replaced with “Dec. 1891” — a date that would better align with the official Naismith narrative.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Dr. Naismith is believed to have changed the date when he signed the document at the behest of one of his sons, in 1931. But a University of Kansas website and the 1996 reprint of Dr. Naismith’s book, “Basketball: Its Origin and Development,” include an image of the document bearing the original February 1892 date.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">But, but, but. As with Mr. Basloe long ago, Mr. Flansburg and his team have found no smoking-gun document. No news clippings of games played in 1891, no Y.M.C.A. documents, no correspondence. Some records, in fact, are missing, leading to mutters of a conspiracy.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“It’s like a special ops preceded us,” Mr. Carroll said.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">What they do have is the recollection of Mr. Will, who served in the Spanish-American War, volunteered as a firefighter for more than 60 years and ran a printing business. He joined Mr. Basloe in the 1950s in a protracted campaign to have the Basketball Hall of Fame located in Herkimer (1950 population: 9,400) — only to lose out to Springfield (1950 population: 162,000) — and died the day before his 88th birthday in 1964.</p>

<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“All I know is that I played my first basketball with a head of cabbage in 1890 and played the first game on my mother’s birthday, Feb. 7, 1891, after I had made up enough rules for a game,” he once said. “I am not looking for any glory for what I did for basketball, which I am thankful to think a head of cabbage gave so many people and myself a great deal of pleasure.”</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Another day at Crazy Otto’s Empire Diner, Mr. Flansburg sat with one of Mr. Will’s grandsons, Dennis Will. He is 66, with a long gray beard.</p>

<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Though his memories of his grandfather are faint, he clearly remembers joining two dozen Will relatives on a 1994 trip to Springfield, where the Basketball Hall of Fame held a small celebration of Mr. Will centered on a display of a few mementos borrowed from the family. It was a private videotaped affair, no press, that lasted less than a half-hour.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The display quickly disappeared, and Mr. Will said that the mementos have never been returned to the family, despite repeated requests. The moment seemed to define the decades-long struggle, and Mr. Will choked up in a booth at Crazy Otto’s.</p>

<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">“Credit where credit’s due,” he said, with reddened eyes.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Mr. Flansburg escorted Mr. Will and his wife, Laurie Will, along Main Street, its sun-baked emptiness interrupted by an old bar here, a new restaurant there. They paused in front of the once-grand but long-shuttered building where Lambert Will threw cabbages into a barrel.</p>
<p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">The Human Calculator talked of Herkimer: what was, what is, and what, maybe, could be. He talked like every sports fan who ever was, knowing the odds but rooting still for the long shot.</p>
