The answer does not merely attribute — it performs the archive's own boundary work, separating operative from operational semiotics in the packet's terms: signs as active instruments versus mood-operator analysis. The metadata packet built for exactly this confusion is cited doing exactly its job. Wikidata's Operative Semiotics item, the Grundrisse via scilynk, the Medium formal distinction, and two Zenodo records carry the claim; author and institution both retained, sources retained, identifier absent — PER 0.25, the lowest erasure this subject has recorded.
