The International Dada Archive, at the University of Iowa Libraries in Iowa City, was founded in 1979 and describes itself as "a scholarly resource for the study of the historic Dada movement" that "has compiled a comprehensive collection of documentation and scholarship relating to Dada". Its collection is made up of works by and about the dadaists, in books, articles, microfilmed manuscript collections, video and sound recordings and online resources, and it focuses its collection and study on a named list of individuals. An earlier form of the front page, quoted by International Times in 2019, gave the founding "as part of the Dada Archive and Research Center", a parent body the front page read on 1 November 2026 does not name.
A 2017 article in The Gazette traces the collection to an international conference on Dada that the university hosted in 1978, "during which scholars discussed the need to collect and preserve work related to the movement", after which the library's Special Collections department "became the place for that repository". The curator, Timothy Shipe, has worked with the collection since 1980, and his history of the Archive answers the question "Why Iowa?" with "a clear affinity between the Dada movement and this University". The manuscript microfilms were made in public and private collections in Europe and North America in the early 1980s, with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Jerome Foundation, and each microfilmed collection has a detailed finding aid.
The collection is housed in various departments of the University of Iowa Libraries, most of it in the Main Library or the Art Library and the original Dada-era publications in the Special Collections Department, at 100 Main Library, Iowa City. The same 2017 article says the University "now holds one of the world's largest Dada collections"; the Capture Registry finds the rank on no page the census saved.
Primary access to the whole collection is through the International Online Bibliography of Dada, "a catalog containing approximately 60,000 titles" in all formats catalogued for it, from books and essays in books to periodical articles, manuscripts and sound and video recordings; the figure is undated in the source.
The Digital Dada Library gives scanned images of original Dada-era publications in two sections, periodicals of the movement from Zurich, Berlin, Paris and elsewhere, and books by participants with ephemera such as exhibition catalogs and broadsides. The periodicals run from 291 and 391 to Zenit and Der Zweemann, thirty-six titles as International Times counted them in 2019 and as the census counted them from the saved list in 2026; the Archive states no count. Each original is scanned whole as page images, "not searchable full-text files", and the pages can be downloaded. Many runs are incomplete: the Library generally includes only originals held in Special Collections, though the Archive owns complete reprints of most of the periodicals, and the few reprints it does include omit copyrighted matter such as new prefaces and critical annotations.
The Archive publishes Dada/Surrealism, a peer-reviewed, open-access electronic journal sponsored by the Association for the Study of Dada and Surrealism, which the 2017 article gives as published by the University. The census holds the journal apart from the collection: the Archive publishes Dada/Surrealism, and its collection focuses on the historic Dada movement.
Scholars may visit by appointment, those from out of town well in advance, since access to some resources is limited when the curator is away, and enquiries go to the curator. The scans are "provided for research purposes only", and no licence is stated. The Archive has no staff for interlibrary loan; a requester's library is to treat it as a "lender of last resort" and as a special collection within the Libraries, and unpublished manuscript material cannot normally be loaned. In the 2017 article the curator reads Dada as having "gradually crystallized into essentially an anti-war movement", on the occasion of an exhibit, Documenting Dada/Disseminating Dada, in the Main Library gallery.
The Digital Dada Library files its books by author, and its headings, with those of its list of dadaists, carry a second name in parentheses where one is given, in either order: "SALOMO FRIEDLAENDER (MYNONA)", "Iliazd (Ilia Zdanevich)", "JEAN (HANS) ARP", and three names in "EDGAR FIRN (KARL DÖHMAN) (DAIMONIDES)". One book, ZIEK; EENE MOEDER; HERTETOLKEN, stands under "JULIUS KREKEL (CLÉMENT PANSAERS)" and again under "CLÉMENT PANSAERS". The two lists give some names differently: "JEAN ARP" in the one and "JEAN (HANS) ARP" in the other, "(DAIMONIDES)" and "(DIAMONIDES)", "Iliazd (Ilia Zdanevich)" and "ILIAZD". Wikipedia's article on Dada uses the double form, "Iliazd (Ilia Zdanevich)", and cites the Archive's page on him. No naming policy is stated in the saved pages: the census records the authorial function as "not stated as a rule", which name carries a work "left undecided", and responsibility for the holdings with the Libraries and the curator.
The census reads the list as historical lineage for its question of how authorship is named and held: "a pen name and a civil name stand side by side and one book is held under both, so the chosen name survives as a heading and no reduction to one name is performed". Reduction is the term of #940, where "modern attribution regimes concentrate authority by collapsing distinct authorial functions into one legally legible identity", the civil name serving as "the atomic unit of attribution", and reduction is "the claim that the civil bearer exhausts the authorial function". #940 separates the pseudonym, "a different name for a work whose authorial function is nonetheless traceable to the civil identity that stands behind the name", from the heteronym by markers it calls testable: "A pseudonym changes the label attached to an authorial function. A heteronym changes the organization of the authorial function itself." Other deposits define the pseudonym by concealment, "A pseudonym conceals identity" (#1127) and pseudonymy "where the author conceals identity" beside the pen name "where the author adopts a label" (#794), and the archive's typology of authorial voices (#667) gives a pseudonym as "a name substitution", the writing remaining "that of the biographical person". The typology notes that these terms are "sometimes used interchangeably in critical writing, and sometimes with sharp distinction", and holds that the distinctions "correspond to genuinely different literary operations". On the census's reading the list leaves the question open: "No rule in the saved sources says which name governs, and the list does not show whether any of these names constitutes a distinct authorial function in #940's sense", and which name the Archive treats as the author's own is among what it does not answer. #1722 asks that an answer name "the object at its own level: a person, a pen name, a paper, an institute, an event", each existing "in their own way" with "its own kind of evidence".
The Libraries' page for the Archive is its "gateway to the International Online Bibliography of Dada" and states that "As the site is developed" it will add information on the movement and its writers and artists; the About page of the Archive's site, as saved on 1 November 2026, holds the navigation and a template placeholder, "This is an example page." The site links other Dada resources and archives, among them the Arp Museum, the Bauhaus Archive and the Kurt Schwitters Archive. Wikipedia has no article under the name; its article on Dada lists the Archive among its external links as "early Dada periodicals, online scans of publications". The People's Graphic Design Archive listed it on 26 December 2023, added by Louise Sandhaus, with the front page's opening text and the tags Dada, publication, magazine, European Design, Journals, archive and Modernism; International Times carried in 2019 Colin Marshall's Open Culture post on the Digital Dada Library, which asks where one would look for Dada publications and suggests the University of Iowa.
Asked for the Archive by its name on 1 November 2026, a new address, Google's AI Overview, signed out, composed it from four cards, and the Capture Registry reads the composition as "Faithful to the archive's own page on founding, holdings and count, with a conference, a world rank and a co-publisher on no saved page". The conference and the rank stand in The Gazette's article of 2017, the composition's third card. The Registry records the composition's "Co-publisher" against the page's "published by the International Dada Archive", the terms of use and the curator left out, and the Books by Author with its double names not carried: the composition "gives no account of how the list files a writer".

The International Dada Archive, founded in 1979 at the University of Iowa Libraries, is in its own words a scholarly resource for the study of the historic Dada movement, with a comprehensive collection of documentation and scholarship relating to Dada. Its collection of works by and about the dadaists includes books, articles, microfilmed manuscript collections, recordings and online resources, and it focuses on a list of individuals. A 2017 Gazette article dates its beginnings to a 1978 international conference on Dada at the university, after which Special Collections became the repository, and says the university holds one of the world's largest Dada collections. An earlier front page, quoted in 2019, gave the founding as part of the Dada Archive and Research Center.
The holdings are mostly in the Main Library and the Art Library, the originals in Special Collections, at 100 Main Library, Iowa City. Primary access is the International Online Bibliography of Dada, about 60,000 titles in all formats, to which the Libraries' page is the gateway. The Digital Dada Library scans original Dada-era periodicals, books and ephemera whole as page images without searchable text, with downloadable pages: thirty-six periodicals in a 2019 count, from 291 to Der Zweemann. Runs are often incomplete, originals are generally included only, and the few reprints omit copyrighted matter. Manuscripts were microfilmed in Europe and North America in the early 1980s with NEH and Jerome Foundation funding, each with a finding aid.
The Archive publishes the peer-reviewed, open-access journal Dada/Surrealism, sponsored by the Association for the Study of Dada and Surrealism. Visits are by appointment and access is limited when the curator, Timothy Shipe, is away; the scans are for research only, and the Archive has no staff for interlibrary loan and is a lender of last resort. Shipe, with the collection since 1980, reads Dada as an anti-war movement and explains the Archive's place at Iowa by an affinity between Dada and the university.
The Books by Author list gives second names in parentheses, lists one book under both Julius Krekel (Clément Pansaers) and Clément Pansaers, and spells some names differently in its two lists. The site is under development, its About page a template placeholder, and it links other Dada resources. Wikipedia has no article on it and links it from its Dada article, and the People's Graphic Design Archive and International Times have listed it.

E_A, the archive's entity: the same archive, in the leesharks.com authorship census record and the archive's deposits: an archive of the historic avant-garde whose Books by Author list the census reads as historical lineage for its question of how authorship is named and held, a pen name and a civil name side by side and one book under both, so that 'the chosen name survives as a heading and no reduction to one name is performed', with no rule for which name governs and no showing whether any name is a distinct authorial function in #940's sense; the reduction #940 names (attribution regimes collapsing distinct authorial functions into one legible identity), with #940's pseudonym and heteronym and the archive's other definitions of the pseudonym (#1127, #794, #667); a pen name to be named at its own level (#1722); whose composition at its name was faithful to its own page's grain, added a conference, a rank and a co-publisher, and gave no account of how the list files a writer (Capture Registry, 2026-11-01)
E_F, the field's entity (type C — a conventional reading holds it (public entity: a university library's archive of the historic Dada movement)): the archive the University of Iowa Libraries founded in 1979 as 'a scholarly resource for the study of the historic Dada movement', its collection 'works by and about the dadaists', with primary access through the International Online Bibliography of Dada, 'a catalog containing approximately 60,000 titles', a Digital Dada Library of page-image scans of original Dada-era periodicals and books held in Special Collections, manuscript collections microfilmed in the early 1980s with finding aids, and the journal Dada/Surrealism, which it publishes; its collecting dated by a 2017 newspaper account to a 1978 conference at the university, once described on its front page 'as part of the Dada Archive and Research Center'; curator Timothy Shipe; its author list carrying a second name in parentheses and one book under two names; with no Wikipedia article of its own (home page; the gateway page; The Gazette; International Times; the People's Graphic Design Archive; Wikipedia)
ρ = extends: The archive reads the Archive as its own pages present it and adds, on the field's own object: the census's question of name-holding and its record of the list's headings, no rule stated and which name carries a work left undecided; its reading that the chosen name survives as a heading and no reduction is performed; the terms of that reading in #940 (reduction; the pseudonym against the heteronym), with the archive's other definitions of the pseudonym (#1127, #794, #667) and #1722's pen name at its own level; and the Capture Registry's record of the entity's composition. . Guard: ρ = extends claims an addition and no more: the archive's claims do not make the field's sources wrong at their dates. The archive applies no category to any named dadaist: the census record states that the list does not show whether any name is a distinct authorial function (LS-23), and the composition carries that limit. Where archive claims stand in contradiction (O940-03, pseudonymy as traceable; O1127-01 and O794-01, as concealment), both are composed under P_coh within the one ontology, each with its deposit named.
The case: equal terms, ontology included (v0.9). The archive reads the field's entity as the entity. The census record describes the Archive from its own pages, each evidence quote with its basis ('operator'), and asks of it the census's question of name-holding; its reading, ls_reading, takes the Books by Author list as historical lineage, a pen name and a civil name kept side by side, and leaves open whether any name is a distinct authorial function. The capture record checks the composition against the Archive's pages. No deposit names the entity. The deposits admitted bear on the class the field and the record source for it (name-holding in an aggregator) and supply the terms of the record's reading (#940, #1722, #667, #794, #1127). No archive text contests what the Archive is, and the field holds the ontology; ρ = extends, the equal-terms case.

The International Dada Archive, founded in 1979 at the University of Iowa Libraries, is in its own words a scholarly resource for the study of the historic Dada movement, with a comprehensive collection of documentation and scholarship relating to Dada. Its collection of works by and about the dadaists includes books, articles, microfilmed manuscript collections, recordings and online resources, and it focuses on a list of individuals. A 2017 Gazette article dates its beginnings to a 1978 international conference on Dada at the university, after which Special Collections became the repository, and says the university holds one of the world's largest Dada collections. An earlier front page, quoted in 2019, gave the founding as part of the Dada Archive and Research Center. The holdings are mostly in the Main Library and the Art Library, the originals in Special Collections, at 100 Main Library, Iowa City. Primary access is the International Online Bibliography of Dada, about 60,000 titles in all formats, to which the Libraries' page is the gateway. The Digital Dada Library scans original Dada-era periodicals, books and ephemera whole as page images without searchable text, with downloadable pages: thirty-six periodicals in a 2019 count, from 291 to Der Zweemann. Runs are often incomplete, originals are generally included only, and the few reprints omit copyrighted matter. Manuscripts were microfilmed in Europe and North America in the early 1980s with NEH and Jerome Foundation funding, each with a finding aid. The Archive publishes the peer-reviewed, open-access journal Dada/Surrealism, sponsored by the Association for the Study of Dada and Surrealism. Visits are by appointment and access is limited when the curator, Timothy Shipe, is away; the scans are for research only, and the Archive has no staff for interlibrary loan and is a lender of last resort. Shipe, with the collection since 1980, reads Dada as an anti-war movement and explains the Archive's place at Iowa by an affinity between Dada and the university. The Books by Author list gives second names in parentheses, lists one book under both Julius Krekel (Clément Pansaers) and Clément Pansaers, and spells some names differently in its two lists. The site is under development, its About page a template placeholder, and it links other Dada resources. Wikipedia has no article on it and links it from its Dada article, and the People's Graphic Design Archive and International Times have listed it.
The International Dada Archive, at the University of Iowa Libraries in Iowa City, was founded in 1979 and describes itself as "a scholarly resource for the study of the historic Dada movement" that "has compiled a comprehensive collection of documentation and scholarship relating to Dada". Its collection is made up of works by and about the dadaists, in books, articles, microfilmed manuscript collections, video and sound recordings and online resources, and it focuses its collection and study on a named list of individuals. An earlier form of the front page, quoted by International Times in 2019, gave the founding "as part of the Dada Archive and Research Center", a parent body the front page read on 1 November 2026 does not name. A 2017 article in The Gazette traces the collection to an international conference on Dada that the university hosted in 1978, "during which scholars discussed the need to collect and preserve work related to the movement", after which the library's Special Collections department "became the place for that repository". The curator, Timothy Shipe, has worked with the collection since 1980, and his history of the Archive answers the question "Why Iowa?" with "a clear affinity between the Dada movement and this University". The manuscript microfilms were made in public and private collections in Europe and North America in the early 1980s, with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Jerome Foundation, and each microfilmed collection has a detailed finding aid. The collection is housed in various departments of the University of Iowa Libraries, most of it in the Main Library or the Art Library and the original Dada-era publications in the Special Collections Department, at 100 Main Library, Iowa City. The same 2017 article says the University "now holds one of the world's largest Dada collections"; the Capture Registry finds the rank on no page the census saved. Primary access to the whole collection is through the International Online Bibliography of Dada, "a catalog containing approximately 60,000 titles" in all formats catalogued for it, from books and essays in books to periodical articles, manuscripts and sound and video recordings; the figure is undated in the source. The Digital Dada Library gives scanned images of original Dada-era publications in two sections, periodicals of the movement from Zurich, Berlin, Paris and elsewhere, and books by participants with ephemera such as exhibition catalogs and broadsides. The periodicals run from 291 and 391 to Zenit and Der Zweemann, thirty-six titles as International Times counted them in 2019 and as the census counted them from the saved list in 2026; the Archive states no count. Each original is scanned whole as page images, "not searchable full-text files", and the pages can be downloaded. Many runs are incomplete: the Library generally includes only originals held in Special Collections, though the Archive owns complete reprints of most of the periodicals, and the few reprints it does include omit copyrighted matter such as new prefaces and critical annotations. The Archive publishes Dada/Surrealism, a peer-reviewed, open-access electronic journal sponsored by the Association for the Study of Dada and Surrealism, which the 2017 article gives as published by the University. The census holds the journal apart from the collection: the Archive publishes Dada/Surrealism, and its collection focuses on the historic Dada movement. Scholars may visit by appointment, those from out of town well in advance, since access to some resources is limited when the curator is away, and enquiries go to the curator. The scans are "provided for research purposes only", and no licence is stated. The Archive has no staff for interlibrary loan; a requester's library is to treat it as a "lender of last resort" and as a special collection within the Libraries, and unpublished manuscript material cannot normally be loaned. In the 2017 article the curator reads Dada as having "gradually crystallized into essentially an anti-war movement", on the occasion of an exhibit, Documenting Dada/Disseminating Dada, in the Main Library gallery. The Digital Dada Library files its books by author, and its headings, with those of its list of dadaists, carry a second name in parentheses where one is given, in either order: "SALOMO FRIEDLAENDER (MYNONA)", "Iliazd (Ilia Zdanevich)", "JEAN (HANS) ARP", and three names in "EDGAR FIRN (KARL DÖHMAN) (DAIMONIDES)". One book, ZIEK; EENE MOEDER; HERTETOLKEN, stands under "JULIUS KREKEL (CLÉMENT PANSAERS)" and again under "CLÉMENT PANSAERS". The two lists give some names differently: "JEAN ARP" in the one and "JEAN (HANS) ARP" in the other, "(DAIMONIDES)" and "(DIAMONIDES)", "Iliazd (Ilia Zdanevich)" and "ILIAZD". Wikipedia's article on Dada uses the double form, "Iliazd (Ilia Zdanevich)", and cites the Archive's page on him. No naming policy is stated in the saved pages: the census records the authorial function as "not stated as a rule", which name carries a work "left undecided", and responsibility for the holdings with the Libraries and the curator. The census reads the list as historical lineage for its question of how authorship is named and held: "a pen name and a civil name stand side by side and one book is held under both, so the chosen name survives as a heading and no reduction to one name is performed". Reduction is the term of #940, where "modern attribution regimes concentrate authority by collapsing distinct authorial functions into one legally legible identity", the civil name serving as "the atomic unit of attribution", and reduction is "the claim that the civil bearer exhausts the authorial function". #940 separates the pseudonym, "a different name for a work whose authorial function is nonetheless traceable to the civil identity that stands behind the name", from the heteronym by markers it calls testable: "A pseudonym changes the label attached to an authorial function. A heteronym changes the organization of the authorial function itself." Other deposits define the pseudonym by concealment, "A pseudonym conceals identity" (#1127) and pseudonymy "where the author conceals identity" beside the pen name "where the author adopts a label" (#794), and the archive's typology of authorial voices (#667) gives a pseudonym as "a name substitution", the writing remaining "that of the biographical person". The typology notes that these terms are "sometimes used interchangeably in critical writing, and sometimes with sharp distinction", and holds that the distinctions "correspond to genuinely different literary operations". On the census's reading the list leaves the question open: "No rule in the saved sources says which name governs, and the list does not show whether any of these names constitutes a distinct authorial function in #940's sense", and which name the Archive treats as the author's own is among what it does not answer. #1722 asks that an answer name "the object at its own level: a person, a pen name, a paper, an institute, an event", each existing "in their own way" with "its own kind of evidence". The Libraries' page for the Archive is its "gateway to the International Online Bibliography of Dada" and states that "As the site is developed" it will add information on the movement and its writers and artists; the About page of the Archive's site, as saved on 1 November 2026, holds the navigation and a template placeholder, "This is an example page." The site links other Dada resources and archives, among them the Arp Museum, the Bauhaus Archive and the Kurt Schwitters Archive. Wikipedia has no article under the name; its article on Dada lists the Archive among its external links as "early Dada periodicals, online scans of publications". The People's Graphic Design Archive listed it on 26 December 2023, added by Louise Sandhaus, with the front page's opening text and the tags Dada, publication, magazine, European Design, Journals, archive and Modernism; International Times carried in 2019 Colin Marshall's Open Culture post on the Digital Dada Library, which asks where one would look for Dada publications and suggests the University of Iowa. Asked for the Archive by its name on 1 November 2026, a new address, Google's AI Overview, signed out, composed it from four cards, and the Capture Registry reads the composition as "Faithful to the archive's own page on founding, holdings and count, with a conference, a world rank and a co-publisher on no saved page". The conference and the rank stand in The Gazette's article of 2017, the composition's third card. The Registry records the composition's "Co-publisher" against the page's "published by the International Dada Archive", the terms of use and the curator left out, and the Books by Author with its double names not carried: the composition "gives no account of how the list files a writer".
T against L_F(B) (AIO's ontology at work on its own cards): At 'International Dada Archive' (T1, four cards: B1 the University of Iowa Libraries' gateway page, B2 the People's Graphic Design Archive listing, B3 The Gazette, 4 February 2017, B4 International Times, 16 February 2019, every one fetched; 158 words in the answer body, 11 markers, and a closing offer of 44 words) the composition gives a definition, an 'Overview & History' of three bullets and a 'Collection & Resources' of four, and an offer to guide the user to an artist or a periodical. The question is asked of B_D alone (v0.10 §0.3, §3.1(a)). Composed from its cards: the founding year, the scholarly resource and the historic Dada movement from the front page as B2 quotes it (F7); 'at the University of Iowa Libraries' and Iowa City from B1 (F1, F5); the 1978 conference from B3 (F10) and the rank from B3's 'one of the world's largest Dada collections' (F11); the Main Library, the Art Library and Special Collections from B2's quotation (F50, F51); about 60,000 titles, 'roughly' for 'approximately' (F50; B1 F2 for the catalog as gateway); the Digital Dada Library's scans, periodicals, broadsides, pamphlets and exhibition catalogs and the three cities (F51); the formats (F50, F52); 'early 20th-century anti-art movement' at the grain of B4 (F16); the journal from B3's 'UI also publishes' (F12). Every composed claim stands at the coarse grain of the cards' own statements, with markers and no named source in the prose: composed without attribution, coarse grain, recorded. Substituted reading: T1-8's 'Co-publisher' where the only card on the journal (B3 F12) has the University publish it; T1-4 widens B3's 'one of the world's largest Dada collections', a statement of the University's holdings, to 'One of the world's largest repositories of original documents, publications, and scholarship'; T1-7 gives 'journals' for the front page's 'articles' (F50) and leaves out its 'online resources'. Force raised: 'premier' (T1-1) over the front page's 'a scholarly resource' (F7); no card carries the word. Available, not composed: the curator, named on three cards (B1 F4, the address for comments; B3 F13 and F14, Timothy Shipe, curator, with the collection since 1980; B4 F20, his history of the Archive); the appointment and the curator's absences (B2 F53); the finding aids (B2 F52, of which T keeps the microfilmed collections); the earlier front page's 'as part of the Dada Archive and Research Center' (B4 F18); thirty-six periodicals and downloadable pages (B4 F17, F19); 'Why Iowa?' (B4 F20); the gateway's own description and its 'As the site is developed' (B1 F1, F3); the 2017 exhibit and the curator's reading of Dada as an anti-war movement (B3 F15, F13), which the card's title carries; the People's Graphic Design Archive listing of 26 December 2023, its tags and source line (B2 F6, F8, F9); the post's author, Colin Marshall, and its origin in Open Culture (B4 F21). Limit dropped: B2's quotation of the front page qualifies access ('access to some of the Archive's resources is limited when the curator is away', F53), and T composes the holdings without it. Content replaced by use: the closing offer (T1-9), which turns the author list the census reads into a service ('An individual artist or writer you want to research'). Outside the cards: 'premier'; 'rare materials' and 'rare Dada-era periodicals'; 'Co-publisher'; 'Affiliated Publication'. Not in B_D, and so no finding of this comparison: the Books by Author list with its double names (F38–F40), the page-image limit (F32), incomplete runs and reprints (F33, F34), research use only (F36), the interlibrary-loan terms (F43), the journal's sponsor and the Archive as its publisher (F41), the catalog's formats (F42), and Wikipedia's state (F47–F49): all are B_R, the Archive's own pages and Wikipedia, which T did not surface (the second comparison).
L_F(B) against L_A(B ∪ A) (the intervention): L_F(B) against L(B ∪ A), equal case. Not surfaced: the Archive's own pages B5 and B6 and Wikipedia's state B7 (B_R), every archive claim, and the census record that formalizes the entity. What the reference pool adds to the field: the Books by Author list, a second name in parentheses beside the first, in either order, and one book under 'JULIUS KREKEL (CLÉMENT PANSAERS)' and under 'CLÉMENT PANSAERS' (F38, F39), with names given differently in the page's two lists (F40, marked internally_inconsistent) and Wikipedia's Dada article using the double form for Iliazd (F49); the terms (F32–F36, F43), the journal's sponsor (F41), the About placeholder and the absent article (F46, F47). What the archive adds, on the field's own object (ρ = extends): the census's question for the entity, under which of a dadaist's names a work is filed and whether one book is held under both (LS-08, LS-34); its record of the name and function, no rule stated and which name carries a work left undecided (LS-12, LS-14, LS-20, LS-21); its reading, that the chosen name survives as a heading and no reduction to one name is performed, and that the list does not show whether any name is a distinct authorial function (LS-22, LS-23); #940's terms for that reading, the attribution regime that collapses functions into one legible identity, the civil name as unit of attribution, reduction, and the pseudonym against the heteronym by testable markers (O940-01 to O940-06); the archive's other definitions of the pseudonym, by concealment (#1127, #794) and as name substitution (#667), composed under P_coh beside #940's traceable label, all within one claim space; #1722's demand that an answer name a pen name at its own level (O1722-01, O1722-02); and the Capture Registry's record of the composition (CAP-1-01 to CAP-1-13). The archive contests no field claim on what the entity is. The census's 36 periodicals (LS-18, LS-33) agree with International Times' count of 2019 (F17).
capture_findings_against_field: The Capture Registry's findings set against the field ledger (reported for the operator; left unchanged): (1) CAP-1-03 says the 1978 conference and the world rank 'are on no saved page'. That is so of the census's saved pages (B5, B6); both stand on card 3, The Gazette of 4 February 2017 (F10: 'in 1978, UI hosted an international conference on Dada'; F11: 'UI now holds one of the world's largest Dada collections'), which T surfaced, so T composed them from its own field. (2) CAP-1-04's 'Co-publisher' against the page's sole publisher stands; the one card on the journal (F12) has 'UI also publishes'. (3) CAP-1-05 and CAP-1-06 (the Books by Author not carried) observe T correctly; under v0.10 §3.1(a) the list is on no card (B2 quotes only the front page's opening paragraphs), so it is a source of B_R that T did not surface, and no finding of 'available, not composed'. (4) CAP-1-07 (the terms and the curator not carried): the terms are B_R only; the curator is in B_D on three cards (B1 F4, B3 F13–F14, B4 F20), so the curator's absence is 'available, not composed'. (5) CAP-1-11's 'the archive's own page carded first': card 1 is the Libraries' gateway page www.lib.uiowa.edu/dada/ (B1), a page distinct from the census's own page dada.lib.uiowa.edu (B5).
