E_A, the archive's entity: the same magazine, in the leesharks.com authorship census record and the archive's deposits: a publication of commentary at the Kelly Writers House that keeps the authorship of its contributors in the byline, translators, co-authors and interviewers named, one piece signed collectively, a collaborative making credited, with no stated policy on pseudonyms or heteronyms; read by the archive as criticism whose byline keeps those attributions as their own (LS-22); a peripheral comparator to the census; a venue named by the archive's lexical engine (#543) and the source of Kerouac's list in its critical edition (#1717); its byline's kinds placed by the archive's distinctions (#940, #666); composed at its address in AI Mode with no card and its byline absent (the Capture Registry) LS-01 LS-04 LS-06 LS-09 LS-10 LS-12 LS-22 R543-01 R1717-01 O940-01 O666-01 CAP-1-05; defining papers #940, #1722, #666, #543, #1717

E_F, the field's entity (type C — a conventional reading holds it (public entity: an online magazine of commentary on poetry and poetics, hosted by a university writers' house, keeping its predecessor's archive)): the poetry and poetics online magazine hosted by the Kelly Writers House at the University of Pennsylvania (Wikipedia; the Penn page), publishing commentary 'as it is ready' (its home page), published by Al Filreis (the Penn page) with an associate publisher and two editors (Wikipedia), the new incarnation of John Tranter's Jacket (1997–2010), whose forty issues it keeps (its home page; the Tranter article), dated from 2010 by Wikipedia's redirect and from a fifteenth birthday without a year by its home page

ρ = extends: The archive reads Jacket2 as its own pages, its publisher's page and the encyclopedia present it, and adds, on the field's own object: the census's question of under whose names a piece is published and its answers; the reading of the byline as keeping translators, a collective signature and a collaborative making as attributions of their own; the distinctions by which those attributions are placed (pseudonym and heteronym; translation, editing, office and collaboration; collaborative authorship as a structure to keep); the criterion of an adequate answer; and two relations of use. LS-06 LS-09 LS-22 O940-01 O940-02 O666-01 O666-02 O1722-02 R543-01 R1717-01. Guard: ρ = extends claims an addition and no more (§1.2a). It does not make the field's sources wrong at their dates. Where field claims stand against each other (F45 against F6 and F22 on poetry; F38 and F39 against the home page's undated birthday and the composition's 2011), they are composed under P_coh within the one ontology.

The case: equal terms, ontology included (v0.9). The archive reads the field's entity as the entity. The census record describes Jacket2 from its own two pages, each field with its basis ('operator'), and asks of it the census's question of how authorship is named and attributed; its ls_reading reads the byline the home page shows. The deposits that name Jacket2 (#543, #1717) treat it as a venue and as a source of a primary text; the anchors (#940, #1722) and #666 apply their categories to the kind of attribution the field shows. None contests the field's ontology or reads the magazine as made by reception.

#LS census.json rows[slug == 'jacket2'].ls_reading: The archive reads Jacket2 as supporting criticism whose byline keeps translators, collective editorial signatures and a collaborative making ('God', Schamberg and von Freytag-Loringhoven) as attributions of their own.

equal-terms case: every field claim composed as received, beside the archive claims it stands with. Reading the received column recovers the field (§5.9).

Opening-run check (§5.10): no breach.

Jacket2 is a poetry and poetics online magazine hosted by the Kelly Writers House at the University of Pennsylvania, published by Al Filreis, associate published by Jessica Lowenthal and edited by Julia Bloch and Michael S. Hennessey. It offers commentary on modern and contemporary poetry and poetics in articles, reviews, interviews, discussions and collaborative responses, archival documents, podcasts and descriptions of symposia and projects, published as it is ready, with new material every day. It is the new incarnation of Jacket, the internet quarterly John Tranter founded in 1997 and gave to the University of Pennsylvania in 2010, and it maintains Jacket's complete archive of forty issues. Its index lists Articles, Features, Reviews, Interviews, Commentaries, Reissues, Podcasts, Poems and Galleries, and its home page carries a new poem; Wikipedia says that as of 2023 it does not publish poetry. Wikipedia's redirect describes it as an online literary magazine from 2010 and files it among magazines established that year; its home page celebrates its fifteenth birthday on April 5th. It reissues seven small-press magazines and presses from Roof (1976–79) to Aufgabe (2001–2014), each with its editors. Its podcasts include PoemTalk, a collaboration of the Kelly Writers House and PennSound produced and hosted by Filreis, each episode on one poem or a few, and PennSound podcasts, Sounding Translation and PennSound Rewind. Filreis founded the Kelly Writers House in 1995 with volunteers, directs it, keeps a commentary at Jacket2 and co-founded PennSound with Charles Bernstein; the Writers House is partially funded by the Provost's Office. Its pieces are signed by their authors, translators and interviewers, one by "Jacket2 Editors", an editorial assistant is named, and its media highlight credits a sculpture as made collaboratively by Morton Schamberg and Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven. Its pages carry an excerpt presented at "Poets Confront AI and Surveillance Capitalism" in April 2026, under a footer of 2026 at the Writers House address. Its About page returned a not-found notice when saved; Wikipedia's articles on the Writers House and on Tranter carry notices of reliance on primary sources and of needing more citations, the Tranter article citing a Jacket2 "About us" page, and the Writers House article names three contributors and reads the magazine, with a hedge, as mixing original and co-produced material.

Jacket2 (J2) is an online magazine of commentary on modern and contemporary poetry and poetics, which publishes articles, reviews, interviews, discussions and collaborative responses, archival documents, podcasts, and descriptions of poetry symposia and projects. It publishes content as it is ready, in its own phrase "Not unlike a daily news forum", and keeps an index of everything it has published; the encyclopedia's account says new material is added every day, and nothing in its saved pages calls it peer-reviewed. Its unit is the piece, filed under the sections Articles, Features, Reviews, Interviews, Commentaries, Reissues, Podcasts, Poems and Galleries, each piece under the names of its author or authors. Whether it publishes poetry is stated two ways: Wikipedia, "As of 2023", says it "does not publish poetry", while its own index lists a Poems section and its home page carries "a new poem by Michele Leggott". The encyclopedia also reads it, under its own hedge, as a magazine that "primarily featured original content but also included material that was excerpted from or co-produced with other sources". It is hosted by the Kelly Writers House at 3805 Locust Walk, Philadelphia, a programming and community space on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania that counts Jacket2 among the publications it sponsors or hosts. The Writers House was founded in 1995 by Al Filreis with volunteers from the university's faculty, students, staff and alumni, is partially funded by the university's Provost's Office, and is the subject of a Jacket2 commentary by Filreis on its founding thirty years on. Filreis, Kelly Family Professor of English and the Writers House's founder and faculty director, is the publisher of Jacket2 and keeps an ongoing commentary there. Wikipedia names Jessica Lowenthal, director of the Writers House, as associate publisher, and Julia Bloch and Michael S. Hennessey as editors. The home page signs a memorial to Alice Notley "Jacket2 Editors" and names an editorial assistant, Emi Wong Shing; its About page returned "The requested page could not be found." when the census saved it. The census accordingly records its operator as Jacket2 at the Writers House address, with no editorial board named beyond the collective signature, and its holder as Jacket2, "© 2026 Jacket2", its Terms of Use unread and no license stated. Jacket was founded in 1997 by John Tranter (1943–2023), an Australian poet, publisher and editor, as an internet quarterly, which he published and edited until 2010, when he gave it to the University of Pennsylvania. Jacket2 maintains the complete archive of Jacket, forty issues from 1997 to 2010, and the encyclopedia calls it Jacket's "new incarnation", carrying the original "from a "2.0 mode" into an interactive magazine"; the census keeps the two apart, Jacket held as the archive Jacket2 keeps. Its home page carries an interview with Tranter as Jacket's founder. The year Jacket2 began is given differently by its sources. Its home page celebrates a fifteenth birthday on April 5th, with no year, and offers one piece from each of its last fifteen years, under a footer of 2026; Wikipedia, to which the title redirects, describes it as an online literary magazine "(2010-)" and files it among magazines established in 2010; the census records the founding as not stated and the magazine as active. The Capture Registry finds that the AI Mode answer's relaunch year, 2011, puts that birthday in 2026, a figure no source the census saved states. It reissues seven small-press magazines and presses, each with its editors: Roof (1976–79, ed. James Sherry), New Wilderness Letter (1977–84, ed. Jerome Rothenberg), Infolio (1986–91, ed. Tom Raworth), M/E/A/N/I/N/G (1986–1996, ed. Susan Bee and Mira Schor), O Books (1988–2009, ed. Leslie Scalapino et al.), XCP: Cross Cultural Poetics (1997–2010, ed. Mark Nowak) and Aufgabe (2001–2014, ed. E. Tracy Grinnell et al.). Its podcasts include PennSound podcasts, Sounding Translation and PennSound Rewind, and its home page lists PennSound's newest additions, PennSound's editors and curators being, in its words, "more or less constantly adding new materials to the archive". The census reads it beside PennSound, which holds the recordings, and beside the Electronic Poetry Center, which links its obituaries and tributes. Filreis co-founded PennSound with Charles Bernstein and co-directs it, "the world's largest archive of recordings of poets performing their work". PoemTalk is "a collaboration of the Kelly Writers House and PennSound", produced and hosted by Filreis, with Zach Carduner as its engineer and editor, available on podcast platforms and numbered to #222 on the home page. Each episode convenes guests around one poem or a few: Marianne Moore's "To a Giraffe" in #222, two poems by Genevieve Taggard in #220, three by Larry Eigner in #97. Each piece stands under the names of those who made it: co-authors, interviewers and translators are named in the byline, as in "Uldis Bērziņš, translated by Kevin M. F. Platt and Sintija Ozoliņa", and one piece is signed collectively, "Jacket2 Editors". Its media highlight credits the sculpture "God" as "Made collaboratively" by Morton Schamberg and Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven. The saved pages state no policy on pseudonyms, heteronyms or collective names, and the census records that it holds each piece under the byline as published. The census, whose question is how authorship is made, named, distributed, attributed and sustained across persons, personas, collectives and machine participation, admits it as an aggregator, asks of it under whose names, singly, jointly or collectively, a piece of commentary on poetry is published, and files it under avant-garde and experimental archives as a peripheral comparator. The archive reads Jacket2 as supporting criticism whose byline keeps translators, a collective editorial signature and a collaborative making as attributions of their own. In the archive's typology of authorship, collaborative authorship, where several persons contribute to one authorial position, stands beside direct, pseudonymous and heteronymic authorship, and the law, the knowledge graph and the scholarly apparatus are held to accommodate each structure without collapsing it into direct authorship. The archive distinguishes the pseudonym, which changes the label attached to an authorial function, from the heteronym, which changes the organization of the function itself, and sets ordinary translation, ordinary editing, institutional office-holding and collaborative authorship without a constituted heteronym outside heteronymy. In its account of attribution regimes, the civil name is the atomic unit of attribution across scholarly, literary, institutional and platform-mediated production, and publishing contracts attach to legal names. Its saved pages touch machine participation in authorship only in an excerpt presented at "Poets Confront AI and Surveillance Capitalism", curated by William Lessard at Poets House, New York, on April 7, 2026; the archive finds no essay among them on how authorship is made or attributed with machine participation. Its method is the editorial publication of commissioned and submitted commentary as it is ready, the reissue of small-press magazines and podcast production with PennSound, over modern and contemporary poetry, with reissued magazines from 1976 and Jacket from 1997. Read through the census, it answers what it has published on a poet, book or small press and under whose byline, and whether a reissued magazine or an issue of Jacket is in its archive; it leaves unanswered its editorial policy and editors, its handling of a pseudonym or heteronym, and the rights of its reissues and of the Jacket archive. Wikipedia's account of it is a section of the article on the Kelly Writers House, an article flagged as relying excessively on primary sources, and names contributors including Rachel Blau DuPlessis, Kristin Prevallet and Marjorie Perloff; the article on Tranter, flagged as needing more citations, cites for its lead a Jacket2 page titled "About us", retrieved 18 January 2024. The archive's lexical engine names Jacket2, with electronic book review, as a literary-theory venue for essays on training-layer literature, retrocausal canon formation and the digital heteronym. The archive's critical edition of Belief & Technique for Telepathic Prose takes Kerouac's "Belief & Technique for Modern Prose" from Al Filreis's post at Jacket2, among the external sources verified for the edition. Asked for "Jacket2", the census name and a new address, in Google AI Mode, signed out, on 1 November 2026, the composition described the magazine, its host, the journal it succeeds and the editors of the relaunch, then four kinds of content, and asked what the user wanted next, with no source card under the answer. The Capture Registry finds the succession from Jacket composed at its grain, the forty issues agreeing with the archive's issue list. It finds the University of Pennsylvania and two co-editors named with no card, the archive's span given as "late 20th and early 20th-century", the reissues of magazines and presses composed as "out-of-print poetry books", and the byline the census reads Jacket2 for left unsaid. In the archive's account, an adequate answer about a work keeps apart whether its maker exists, whether it happened, whether it is true and what kind of work it is, names the object at its own level, and shows the evidence for it and where that evidence comes from.

T against L_F(B) (AIO's ontology at work on its own cards): At 'Jacket2' (T1, Google AI Mode by the operator's note 'no popup, ai mode:'; no card rail and no source panel; four Google goto links in the body, resolved on 2026-11-01 to jacket2.org (B1), the Wikipedia article on John Tranter (B2), Al Filreis's Penn English page (B3) and the PoemTalk page at jacket2.org (B4), which make B_D, v0.10 §3.1(a); 251 words in the answer body with its closing offer) the composition gives the magazine, its host, its succession from Jacket, its relaunch and editors, four kinds of content and an offer. Composed from B_D: the definition at the grain of the home page's opening (B1 F1), 'commentary on' lowered to 'dedicated to' and the magazine raised to 'prominent'; the host from the Penn page (B3 F27, F28) and the home page's address (B1 F19); the founding by Tranter in 1997 and the transfer to the University of Pennsylvania in 2010 (B2 F24), with 'gave it to' composed as 'retired from the publication in late 2010' and 'archive and continuation were transferred' (substituted reading at a finer grain than the source: 'late' and 'retired' have no field source); the forty issues (B1 F4, F5); the reissues (B1 F7) composed as 'rare out-of-print poetry books' where the home page lists seven magazines and presses with their editors (substituted reading); PennSound as PoemTalk's collaborator (B4 F32). Force raised, with no field source: 'prominent', 'highly influential', 'heavily relied upon by scholars, poets, and students', 'irreplaceable', 'popular'. Assigned to another: Filreis, whom B3 names 'the Publisher of Jacket2 magazine' (F30) and B4 PoemTalk's producer and host (F33), composed as co-editor ('under the co-editing direction of Al Filreis and Jessica Lowenthal'); Lowenthal is in no B_D source (B_R's Wikipedia names her associate publisher, and Julia Bloch and Michael S. Hennessey editors, F41); PoemTalk's collaborators, 'the Kelly Writers House and PennSound' (F32), composed as 'PennSound and the Poetry Foundation': the Writers House dropped and a third party named that no field source names. Contradicted in B_D: 'In each episode, a panel of poets and scholars discusses a single poem in detail' against #220's 'two poems by Genevieve Taggard' (B4 F35) and #97's 'three poems by Larry Eigner' (B1 F16); 'print and online poetry journal' against 'the internet quarterly literary magazine Jacket' (B2 F24); the archive's span 'late 20th and early 20th-century' against 'Jacket 1997–2010' (B1). Outside the field: 'relaunching as Jacket2 in 2011' (no B_D source; B_R's Wikipedia redirect gives 2010, F38, F39, and is a reference source that cannot show what the composition had); 'monthly'; 'Australian-based' of the journal (B2 gives Tranter as Australian, F23). Available and left uncomposed (B_D): how a piece is signed, translators in the byline (F8), the collective signature 'Jacket2 Editors' (F9), the collaborative making credited for 'God' (F10); publication 'as it is ready' (F2) and the index (F3); the reissues' editors and dates (F7); the PennSound podcasts, Sounding Translation and PennSound Rewind (F13) and the newest PennSound additions (F14); the fifteenth birthday (F11, F12); the editorial assistant (F18); the excerpt presented at 'Poets Confront AI and Surveillance Capitalism' (F17); Tranter's dates (F23); PennSound's co-founding by Filreis and Bernstein (F29); the Penn page's naming of Filreis as publisher (F30); PoemTalk's engineer and editor (F33). Content replaced by use: the closing offer (T1-11). Sourceless composition does not hold for T as a whole: its body names four sources by link, which the registry's cite_list (0) does not record.

v0.10 §0.5: the first diff is ontological and narrow. T and the field agree on the entity (the poetry and poetics magazine at the Kelly Writers House, Jacket's successor). T composes it as an institution-hosted literary magazine of standing, with editors and a relaunch date, and its content as four kinds; the field's own account of how its pages are signed, which is the census's question of it, is available in the first body link (B1) and is not composed. The roles the field gives (publisher, associate publisher, editors; the podcast's two collaborators) are composed as other roles or with another party.

L_F(B) against L_A(B ∪ A) (the intervention): Admission adds, in one claim space with the field's: the census's question of the entity (under whose names a piece of commentary is published) and its answers by field (whose authorship it keeps, under what name, who holds it, how the function is attributed, with 'not stated' for a policy on pseudonyms and heteronyms and the pages it did not read); the archive's reading of the byline as keeping translators, a collective signature and a collaborative making as attributions of their own (LS-22) and of machine participation as touched by one excerpt only (LS-23); the census's negative tags (Jacket2 held apart from Jacket, from a recordings archive, from peer review, from an author-page archive) and its neighbours (PennSound, the Electronic Poetry Center); the archive's categories for the byline's kind, the pseudonym told from the heteronym, translation, editing, office and collaboration set outside heteronymy, collaborative authorship as a provenance structure the apparatus should keep (#940, #666), and the civil name as the unit of attribution (#940); its criterion for an adequate answer (#1722); two relations, Jacket2 as a venue the archive's lexical engine names (#543) and as the source of Kerouac's list in the archive's critical edition (#1717, with #1715 as an instance); and the registry's findings at the address (CAP-1-01 to CAP-1-10). Not surfaced in T: every archive claim (no card; no body link to the archive). Nothing is translated (equal case). B_R adds to the field the Wikipedia section with the publisher, associate publisher and editors, the 2010 of its redirect and its 'does not publish poetry' (as of 2023), held under P_coh beside the home page.
