THE HETERONYM IS IN THE RETAIL SUPPLY CHAIN, DATED 2014, ON THREE STORES. bookshop.org was read earlier; here Barnes & Noble lists "Pearl and Other Poems by JOHANNES SIGIL, LEE SHARKS, Paperback", 15 October 2014, and Amazon.ca lists the Kindle edition as "Sharks, Lee, Sigil, Johannes". Three independent commercial catalogues carry the co-authorship as ordinary product metadata, twelve years before the Dodecad was specified and long before any of it was theorised.

This is the sturdiest provenance evidence the registry holds. Retail bibliographic records are maintained by parties with no interest in the archive, are dated by publication, and are not editable after the fact. The heteronym did not become real when the composition layer adopted it; it was already in the ISBN record.

Card 2 also carries the archive’s clearest statement of what it asks of a reader: "To read a magical text is to activate it. To annotate is to enter covenant. To critique is to risk transformation."

Machine text, verbatim
