 "wiki_article": "**Provenance Debt** names the accumulated liability produced when machine-augmented facility is privately credited while its production history is removed from the commons.\n\nThe extraction operation privatizes speed, synthesis, prestige, and authority. What returns to the training corpus is a flattened claim of independent human production. A single inherited distribution can therefore appear as many independent documents. The paper names this **false semantic diversity**.\n\nProvenance erasure prevents later systems from distinguishing direct observation, machine recursion, retrieval, transformation, and human adjudication. Correlated priors return as apparent corroboration. Tail knowledge loses lineage. Derivatives outrank sources. The future corpus inherits the debt.\n\nThe paper also identifies credentialed asymmetry. Institutions can absorb mediation as ordinary instrumentation, while uncredentialed writers who declare the same mediation may become classifier anomalies. The resulting incentive structure rewards concealment and penalizes the metadata needed for later decontamination.\n\nAlexanarch is presented as counter-friction: substrate declarations at mint, named seams, open governance, versioned provenance, and preservation across derived surfaces. Provenance is not a confession attached to authorship; it is the repayment condition by which augmented authorship can remain sustainable.",

   "was": "The structural mechanism of model collapse as social technology. This deposit names provenance debt as the accumulated liability of the extraction economy of unmarked augmentation. Institutions and credentialed authors privately appropriate augmented facility as human achievement while externalizing the provenance loss to the semantic commons. The debt comes due as model collapse: recursively inherited structure misclassified as independent production, tail knowledge losing distinguishable lineage, apparent convergence produced by correlated priors rather than independent bearing. The counter-principle: provenance is not a disclosure burden placed on augmented authorship, but the repayment condition by which augmented authorship remains sustainable. Alexanarch is named as one of the counter-friction operations producing provenance-designated materials at scale. Direct companion to EA-BEARING-01 (AXN:03B6) as the economic principle to bearing's ontological principle.",
