Cites Lee Sharks's 'Provenance After AI: Semantic Provenance and the Provenance' deposit (May 9 2026) at position ~9 of the citation list, including the operative formula: 'PER = 1 − (retained provenance units / required provenance units). Three-tier hierarchy: PER-M (minimal: author/title/date/claim boundary)'. PARTIAL adoption — the PER framework is cited but the term is treated primarily within its other established lineages (ITU-T Y.3607's PUE-F, CarbonX's CPUs, etc.).

Card 4 is the DATA PROVENANCE INITIATIVE, which \"conducts large-scale audits of datasets used in training large language models, focusing on licensing, ATTRIBUTION, and data\" — the same object the archive measures with PER and Erasure Skew, pursued by an established group, and the archive is absent from the answer.\n\nThe unit term is the problem. \"Provenance units\" appears in the archive’s PER formula — \"retained provenance units / total\" — as an internal quantity, not as a term of art anyone else uses. Queried alone it lands in the general provenance literature: chain of custody for computer hardware, archival principle, PROVENIENCE in archaeology, open educational resources.\n\nThis is not erasure and not collision. It is a term that is a variable inside a formula rather than a name for anything — and the corpus should probably record that class distinctly, since a formula variable has no reason to hold a basin."},"measures":{"cite_list":[{"n":1,"note":null,"rel":"third_party","site":"Wikipedia","snip":"used when ascertaining the source of goods such as computer hardware to assess if they are genuine or counterfeit.
