All thirteen books are encoded: every definition, postulate, common notion, and proposition is registered as an addressable rrxiv \texttt{claim}, and every proof is encoded as a sequence of explicit \texttt{depends\_on} edges to earlier claims. The encoding produces 465 propositions, 109 definitions, 5 postulates, and 5 common notions, connected by over a thousand \texttt{depends\_on} edges --- the full reasoning DAG of the \emph{Elements} is queryable through the rrxiv API. The encoding serves three purposes: (i)~it dogfoods the rrxiv schema on a finite, dependency-rich corpus that has been studied for two thousand years; (ii)~it provides a working reproducibility demonstration --- every proposition is provable from claims that the rrxiv graph can enumerate, terminating in the five postulates and five common notions; and (iii)~it gives agent harnesses a canonical proof corpus to retrieve over. Books~I, II, and III are written in full Heath-density prose with TikZ figures for the canonical constructions (I.1, I.5, I.32, I.47, II.4, II.11, II.14, III.20, III.31, III.36). Books~IV through XIII carry the full statement + dependency-edge DAG with condensed proof sketches; rendering them at Heath density is a long-running editorial project, and PRs at \url{https://github.com/random-walks/rrxiv-paper-euclid-elements} are welcome. The translation follows Heath (1908, public domain) with light modernisation; the rrxiv encoding is released under CC-BY-4.0. \end{abstract} % ---- Front matter: postulates + common notions + Book I definitions ---- \input{postulates} \input{common-notions} \input{definitions} % ---- Books ---- \input{books/book01} \input{books/book02} \input{books/book03} \input{books/book04} \input{books/book05} \input{books/book06} \input{books/book07} \input{books/book08} \input{books/book09} \input{books/book10} \input{books/book11} \input{books/book12} \input{books/book13} \end{document}
