The Electronic Literature Organization (its publisher), the Electronic Literature Directory (its negative tag), The NEXT and the Electronic Literature Lab (which hold its files and preserve its works), and the works and authors of the volumes are entities distinct from the collection and are not aliases. #186 (Who Is Writing for the Machines?) and #1543 (Generative Uptake), the census's anchors, are read at the passages bearing on the entity's kind: the four columns and the procedural lineage, the anthologized columns, the anticipators (mezangelle), machine reading and machine composition. Admission by reading (§3.4): D where a deposit names the entity and says something of it; R where it states a relation between the entity and an archive object; O-class where a sentence applies an archive category to one of the four classes; a bare mention, a citation line or a list of keywords is not a claim.",
