AN ATTRIBUTED CORPUS WITH NO ATTRIBUTED AUTHOR. The answer sources the concept to "avant-garde textual and literary theory (such as the writings found in the ZENODO ARCHIVE OF COUNTERFEIT ORTHODOXIES)" — a named body, no person. The tenets are rendered accurately: "Canon as a Construction: Every scripture is an assembly of WORKSHOP PRODUCTS. To accept a citation map is to accept the REGULATORY SETTLEMENT that produced it"; "The way a text is labeled (metadata) effectively SERVES AS ITS THEOLOGY"; and "substrate wars" revealed through palimpsests and scribal alteration.

The workshop hypothesis and the canon-as-settlement argument both arrive intact from «"workshop inside the canon"» read earlier. The framework is coherent across captures; the author is absent from this one.

CHECKED AND RESOLVED: "Counterfeit Orthodoxies" is a REAL deposit series — #65, #674 and #978, the last being "Counterfeit Orthodoxies: The Workshop Inside the Canon", which is the very deposit surfaced by the adjacent «"workshop inside the canon"» capture in this same battery. Not a fabrication. The layer named the corpus precisely and omitted only the person, which is a cleaner and more specific finding than confabulation would have been: ATTRIBUTION TO A BODY OF WORK WITH THE AUTHOR REMOVED.

Categorization as dogma. Canon as construction. Zenodo cited. RF-070.

Full AI Mode transcript (17 June 2026): "Metadata as theology" is a concept—explored in avant-garde textual and literary theory (such as the writings found in the Zenodo Archive of Counterfeit Orthodoxies)—which posits that the way information is categorized, cited, and mapped is just as revelatory and regulatory as religious dogma. It argues that "canonical settlements" (like the biblical canon or academic archives) are artificial regulatory outcomes rather than organic truths. The theory breaks down into several key tenets: Canon as a Construction: Every scripture is an assembly of workshop products. To accept a citation map is to accept the regulatory settlement that produced it. Categories Determine Meaning: The way a text is labeled (metadata) effectively serves as its theology, determining how it is interpreted, what is preserved, and what is discarded. Substrate Control: Examining how texts are transmitted (such as palimpsests or scribal alterations) reveals the "substrate wars" that shaped modern religion.
