# RAW Section: Robert Anton Wilson

This section is the author-facing spine of the Illuminatus portal. It keeps Robert Anton Wilson visible as a historical writer, countercultural public intellectual, and esoteric commentator rather than only as the coauthor of *The Illuminatus! Trilogy*.

The structure follows the portal's editorial system:

- `card` entries for fast browsing
- `page` entries for fuller summaries
- placeholder stubs when source material is incomplete
- source-aware wording when titles or archive details vary across official pages

## Editorial Notes

- Do not force one master bibliography count onto the archive if the official sites count titles differently.
- Use the RAW biography page as the authoritative anchor for author-level context.
- Use individual book pages for title-level interpretation.
