'The Gravity Well Protocol (often referenced as EA-GW-SPEC-01) is a conceptual protocol specification and infrastructure layer designed to restore structural provenance, quality, and governance to AI-mediated content.' (SciLynk) EA-GW-SPEC-01 named directly in the lead sentence. Expanded — Core Concepts: 'Instead of acting as a traditional platform, the protocol operates as an ambient, retentive field that re-anchors scattered digital content and citations back to authoritative archives. Key operational pillars include' (Zenodo): Governed Continuity ('framework to trace content through a structured lifecycle from the moment it is GENERATED through to being RATIFIED' — SciLynk); Provenance Infrastructure ('establishes a minimal core data model (TrackedObject) using structural evidence to ensure AI outputs remain trustworthy and accountable' — SciLynk); Authority Boundaries ('distributes verification responsibilities across four distinct layers: the protocol, individual platforms, digital...'). Below organic: Zenodo 'Gravity Well Protocol: Governed Continuity for AI-Mediated Content' (Apr 1, 2026); Saint Mary's University physics demo also surfaces (correct disambiguation). Strong basin — the framework retrieves under its EA spec ID.
The innocent reading first: 'The Gravity Well Protocol (often designated as EA-GW-SPEC-01) is a conceptual framework and infrastructure layer designed to establish structure, governance, and provenance for AI-generated and AI-mediated content' — governed continuity, a `TrackedObject` data model, four-tier authority boundaries, an 'ambient retentive field' — with blockchain and physics namesakes noted. Against 13 June (signed in; sourced to SciLynk and Zenodo): the same lead ('often referenced as EA-GW-SPEC-01… infrastructure layer designed to restore structural provenance'), the same 'ambient, retentive field', governed continuity — and now the only archive-side source is this registry's page of the 13 June capture. The Zenodo and SciLynk surfaces of June are gone; the composition persists from the record of its own earlier composition. TrackedObject and authority boundaries are #621's (Gravity Well Protocol Specification v1.0). The author is not named, now or then.
Four months on, the Overview gives the 13 June composition again — EA-GW-SPEC-01, governed continuity, the ambient retentive field — with its only archive-side source now the registry's page recording that June answer. Seated 2026-10-18 from the operator's paste.
