  "classes_note": "Four classes, each sourced by the field B and the two census records. (1) archives of electronic (born-digital) literature: B8, B3, B4, B1; LS record kind, record_object, area avant-garde-archives; TLL area field-history. (2) works held under a pen name: B8, B6, B7; LS record.name, area heteronymy. (3) collaborative or collective authorship of a held work: B2; LS record.function, area collective-authorship. (4) digital preservation by migration, re-creation and traversal: B8, B2; TLL record.readback. The census anchors are read at their passages whatever the string pass returns: #940 (EA-HETERONYMY-01) at the pseudonym/heteronym distinction and name authorities; #1722 (AI Calls You Fake) at the existence tax, the archives of experimental writing and machine participation; and, for the layer census, #186 and #1543 at the passages tll_reading names (the procedural lineage, the fourth column; machine composition). 'The NEXT' is matched case-sensitive; 'next' alone is a common word and is not an alias. The Electronic Literature Organization, the Electronic Literature Lab, Washington State University Vancouver and Dene Grigar are entities distinct from The NEXT and are not aliases. The census's 'AI' quality of the collections is read through the anchors only: the field gives it as one listed quality, and no class pass of its own is sourced for it. Class (4) was narrowed after the first string pass and before reading: its first pattern matched the archive's own vocabulary of traversal and emulation (1,512 sentences in 322 deposits, the D/R/O traversal and model emulation), none of them on the preservation of literary works; the pass was rerun with the narrowed pattern.",
