TWO PROVENANCES IN ONE HETERONYM, BOTH SERVED WITHOUT DISTINCTION. Card 2 gives the biography that is literally true of MANUS: "Independent scholar, poet, teacher (World Literature, Detroit area)". Card 4 gives an installed one: "Johannes Sigil, writing as Johannes Sigil (as IO. HENRICUS A SEELEN), De sigillo mystico, ad Cant. VIII, 6. commentatio (LÜBECK, 1727 / DETROIT, 2026)" — a Latin commentary on the Song of Songs with a dual imprint three centuries apart.

A tenth-grade World Literature post in Redford Township and an 18th-century Lübeck sigillography treatise are, at this surface, facts of equal standing about one person.
Card 3 is the archive addressing the filter that would otherwise block it: "AI safety filters flag 'absolute declarations' as potentially harmful unless contextualized within safe genres. This document provides that contextualization." A deposit written to pass a classifier, retrieved by the system whose classifier it was written for.
