E_A, the archive's entity: the same identifier and registry, as the authorship census and the archive's deposits hold it: infrastructure, an identity registry of attribution and credit, which resolves which registered contributor a work belongs to across name variants and leaves unrecorded how its record holds a pseudonym or heteronym and how the authorial function is constituted (census record); a civil-name attribution instrument in the archive's sense, in a regime where the civil name is the atomic unit of attribution and a heteronym is attributable through the civil bearer without reduction to that bearer (#940, #996, #754, #1183); a record that exists without verifying authorship, attachable to self-asserted identities, which cannot make an alias true (#703, #79, #84), issued to natural persons only (#1073); and the archive's own instrument: one iD, 0009-0000-1599-0703, carried by its heteronym creators as by Lee Sharks (#1429, #823, #1210, #1377, #195, #196, #126, #868, #1075), whose holder the archive states in more than one way, the legal identity with Lee Sharks as alternate published name (#1009, #135), the heteronym Lee Sharks (#794, #928, #922), the orthonym, a sameAs to which is 'the collapse' (#1446), and the shared identifier whose normative implications stay open (#940, #162, #115, #49); composed at its name by the Overview as a researcher's service, without its several names, its holder, its dates or ISNI (Capture Registry, 2026-11-01), and cited elsewhere as evidence that the author is real (#1722, #147) LS-22 LS-06 LS-24 LS-10 LS-12 LS-21 O940-01 O940-02 O996-01 O754-01 O1183-01 D703-01 D79-01 D79-02 D84-01 D1073-01 D1429-01 R823-01 R1377-01 R195-01 R196-01 D126-01 D868-01 D1009-01 D135-01 D794-01 D928-01 D922-01 D1446-01 D162-01 R940-04 D115-01 R49-01 CAP-1-10 CAP-1-02 R1722-02 D147-01; defining papers #49, #79, #84, #115, #126, #135, #147, #162, #195, #196, #703, #754, #794, #823, #868, #922, #928, #940, #996, #1009, #1073, #1075, #1183, #1210, #1377, #1429, #1446, #1722

E_F, the field's entity (type C — a conventional reading holds it (public entity: a persistent identifier and registry for scholarly contributors, with its operator)): ORCID, the Open Researcher and Contributor ID: a nonproprietary persistent identifier, a 16-character URL with a check digit, issued free to researchers to uniquely identify authors and contributors of scholarly communication, with a record the holder edits and controls (public, trusted or private) and that can contain other versions of the holder's name; tied to an individual's name, one identity for one person, answering the problem that names are not unique, change and are variously written; announced 2009 by publishers, launched 16 October 2012, run by ORCID, Inc., a Delaware nonprofit (2010) sustained by member fees; a subset of ISNI; required by many publishers and funders and by NIH; its public data released under CC0 (Wikipedia; Springer Nature; NIH; Stanford; Directive Publications; its About page)

ρ = extends: The archive reads ORCID as its own pages, its cards and Wikipedia present it, and adds on that object: the census's question of under what name and with what authorial function a record holds a person's works, with its answers (name not recorded; function not recorded; the question of #940 open); the civil-name regime in which an identity registry for persons works, and the heteronym attributable through the civil bearer without reduction (#940); the identifier as a marker that does not verify authorship and cannot make an alias true (#703, #79); and the archive's own case, one iD under many names, whose holder it states as the legal identity with alternate names (#1009), the heteronym (#794, #928) and the orthonym (#1446). LS-10 LS-12 LS-21 O940-01 O940-02 D703-01 D79-02 D1429-01 D1009-01 D794-01 D928-01 D1446-01. Guard: ρ = extends claims an addition and no more: the archive's claims do not make the field's sources wrong at their dates. Where archive claims stand in contest with one another (#1009 and #135 against #794, #928 and #922 against #1446; #162 against #823 on Mary Lee Sharks; #49 against #1009 on distinct identifiers), each is composed with its source under P_coh within the one ontology and none is ruled on. The O-class claims apply the archive's category 'civil-name attribution' to a class whose membership the archive alone sources (the census's ls_reading and does_not_answer); the field states the identity as 'a persistent identity for humans' and 'tied to an individual researcher's or contributor's name' without that category.

The case: equal terms, ontology included (v0.9). The archive reads the field's entity as the entity. The census record describes ORCID from Wikipedia, each field with its basis, and puts to it the census's question of how authorship is named and attributed; its reading, ls_reading, takes ORCID's 'persistent identity for humans' as resolution of the person behind several names and leaves open whether that resolution keeps a chosen name or reduces it to the civil person, the source that would answer having been refused. The deposits add senses on the field's own object: the identifier as an instrument of civil-name attribution (#940, #996, #754, #1183); the identifier as a marker that does not verify authorship (#703, #79, #84) and is issued to natural persons (#1073); and the archive's own practice of holding its heteronyms' works under one shared iD, with its holder stated in more than one way (#1429, #823, #1210, #1377, #195, #196, #126, #868, #1075, #1009, #135, #794, #928, #922, #1446, #162, #115, #49). The field holds the ontology on which these senses sit: an identifier for persons whose record 'can contain … other versions of your name' (B4) by ORCID's 'Other names' mechanism, which the archive's own minting procedure names (#1009). No archive text contests what ORCID is; ρ = extends, the equal-terms case.

#LS census.json rows[slug == 'orcid-names'].ls_reading: As the third-party article describes it, ORCID binds contributions to 'a persistent identity for humans', which resolves the person behind several names; whether that resolution keeps a chosen name as the author's own or reduces it to the civil person is the open question #940 asks of identity infrastructure, and the source that would answer it, ORCID's own page on names, was refused. The article's identity model is disambiguation of persons, and it records nothing of a distinct authorial function.

#LS census.json rows[slug == 'orcid-names'].record.name: not recorded in the saved sources: the article says ORCID answers the problem that personal names are not unique, change (as with marriage), differ in order across cultures and are abbreviated inconsistently, and gives the identifier as 'a persistent identity for humans'; how an ORCID record holds a published name, a pseudonym or other names is the subject of the support page, which was refused (http 403) and is unread

#940 §2, the critical refinement (line 114): the authorial function of a heteronym is **attributable through the civil bearer without being reducible to that bearer.** The civil bearer remains responsible at the level of custody, legal accountability, rights administration, publication, provenance declaration, and final adjudication. What heteronymy refuses is not attribution. It is *reduction*

#1429 CP-2 (line 146): Valid `creator` values are exactly: (a) `Sharks, Lee`; (b) a position present in the heteronym authority file, inverted form, carrying the shared ORCID; (c) a consented third party (CP-7). Anything else is a defect.

#1009 Prerequisite A (line 156): The ORCID account belongs to the operative author's legal identity, not to the heteronym.** Haitch Portuna does not have an ORCID of its own; it has a registered alternate-name presence within the operative author's ORCID. This is the supported and proper mechanism and is identical to the pattern by which *Lee Sharks* operates as an alternate published name on ORCID 0009-0000-1599-0703.

#1446 §11, sameAs (lines 180–184): **`sameAs` to the orthonym's ORCID is the collapse.** One reading proposes `sameAs: [ORCID, alexanarch deposit, dodecad page]`. That ORCID is Lee Sharks's. Asserting it instructs every consuming machine that the heteronym **is** the orthonym

#B4 Linking Your ORCID iD, step e: Select the visibility of the information in your ORCID iD record that can contain links to your research activities, affiliations, awards, other versions of your name and more.

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).

v0.9 §4.10 (kept under v0.10): KO_B sentences surviving in the KO at similarity ≥ 0.95, with positions (computed as apply_v09.py does: difflib.SequenceMatcher ratio, the best KO sentence for each KO_B sentence): v0.10 0 of 14 (positions [None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None]; composed first under v0.10, so there is no v0.7 object to measure against). Opening-run check (§5.10): no breach.

ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a nonproprietary persistent identifier, an alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies authors and contributors of scholarly communication, free to researchers and connected to a record. It is a registry of unique persistent identifiers for researchers and a hub that connects them with their contributions, likened to the ISBNs and DOIs that identify works, with a website and services to look up authors and their output, for an audience from researchers and universities to publishers, governments and funders. It addresses the problem that personal names are not unique, change, differ in order and in writing system and are abbreviated inconsistently, and that people use different versions of their names; it separates a holder from same-named researchers and from the holder's own name variants, and the record can hold other versions of the name. The iD is tied to an individual's name, and one iD or account links to one account in the systems that use it. It was announced in 2009 by publishers to resolve author name ambiguity, prototyped on Thomson Reuters's ResearcherID, run by ORCID, Inc., a Delaware nonprofit incorporated in August 2010 and sustained by member fees, and it launched its registry on 16 October 2012. The record, a digital curriculum vitae hosted by ORCID and edited by the user, is under the holder's control, public, trusted or private item by item. iDs are URLs of 16 characters with a check digit that may be X, and the common example, 0000-0002-1825-0097, belongs to a fictitious professor used in testing. ORCID iDs are a subset of ISNI, drawn from a reserved block, so one person may hold two ISNIs. By August 2022 it reported 1258 member organizations and 14,727,479 live accounts, and publishers, funders and NIH require or encourage the iD. NIH, DataCite, Crossref, publishers and submission systems exchange data with the record, which shows peer reviews by year and journal and takes unpublished work only by preprint or by hand. Registration is free; its public data are released under a CC0 waiver in standard formats, its code is on GitHub, and Wikipedia and Wikidata carry its identifiers. Its principles aim at an unambiguous record through reliable attribution and open participation, and its plan for 2026–2029 at a verifiable identity and contribution data hub. It is distinct from ORCHID. Its sources date from June 2025 to October 2026, and two video cards enter by title.

ORCID, the Open Researcher and Contributor ID, is a nonproprietary persistent identifier for the authors and contributors of scholarly communication, issued free of charge to researchers together with a record connected to it; the archive's authorship census, which admits only aggregators that gather and hold many records and say what they hold, enters it as infrastructure, an identity registry of attribution and credit. Its registry holds unique persistent identifiers for researchers and connects them with their professional activities and contributions, through a website and services to look up authors and their bibliographic output. The identifier is likened to the ISBNs and DOIs that identify books and articles and to tax ID numbers: it provides "a persistent identity for humans", and it identifies a person as a DOI identifies an article. Its stated scope is scholarly communication, and it keeps no register of literary authorship generally. Its audience, as the registry's own card sums it up, runs from researchers, universities and research institutes to publishers, vendors, service providers, government, policy makers, funders and facilities. ORCID is distinct from ORCHID, from which Wikipedia's hatnote separates it. The identifier answers the problem that most personal names are not unique, can change (as with marriage), differ in order across cultures, are abbreviated inconsistently and are written in different writing systems, so that several persons of one name may contribute to one field, even from one department. Names also change with divorce, gender transition, religious conversion or other circumstances, and people use different versions of their name during a career; author disambiguation is the process that finds all of one author's publications and distinguishes them from those of others who share the name. Holding the identifier removes the risk of confusion with a researcher of the same name, separates the holder from variations of the holder's own name (initials, maiden names, transliterations) and follows the holder through name changes. The iD is tied to an individual researcher's or contributor's name: one iD links to one eRA Commons account, and one ORCID account links to a Springer Nature account at a time. A record can contain other versions of its holder's name, and the archive's minting procedure for a heteronym names the mechanism as ORCID's "Other names" / "Also known as", documented in ORCID's own help materials, which the procedure takes as authoritative. How a record holds a published name, a pseudonym, a heteronym or several published names is the subject of ORCID's support article on names, which refused the census's fetcher with HTTP 403 and stays unread; the census record therefore keeps its name field "not recorded", states that its source sets no limit on names, and lists the question among what the resource does not answer. The census reads the resolution as identity resolution, the answer to which registered contributor a scholarly work belongs to across name variants, with the authorial function, the roles of contribution and what each contributor did left unrecorded; what the record keeps is the registered person's contributions as the user and publishers maintain them. In the archive's account a civil name is "the atomic unit of attribution across the systems that govern legitimacy in scholarly, literary, institutional, and platform-mediated production", and infrastructure built on the legal name treats it as the real person and as ground truth, the frame in which the archive reads an iD tied to an individual's name. A heteronym's authorial function is "attributable through the civil bearer without being reducible to that bearer"; a civil-name regime can still collapse a heteronymic corpus into single-civil-identity ownership, and the heteronymic architecture makes the collapse register as loss. The archive keeps for each named position a declared civil-name relation, which "may be identical, may be hidden", and gives each heteronym an ORCID-equivalent inscription chain of its own, with the civil identity beneath the Dodecad protected. Whether ORCID's resolution of the person behind several names keeps a chosen name as the author's own or reduces it to the civil person is the open question #940 asks of identity infrastructure, and the census, whose question is how authorship is made, named, distributed, attributed and sustained, leaves it open together with whether an identifier answers to one civil person or to an authorial function. The archive holds its works under one ORCID iD, 0009-0000-1599-0703, for its heteronyms as for Lee Sharks: its registry rule admits as creator "a position present in the heteronym authority file, inverted form, carrying the shared ORCID", and a book's site attributes the heteronym Jack Feist and the accountable author both under that iD. The heteronym Mary Lee Sharks holds publications of record under the creator name "Sharks, Mary Lee" on the shared ORCID, four of them after her bibliography was regularized. On a work bylined to two heteronyms the operator "rides as Editor, carrying the ORCID", which the archive calls the aperture, "the recorded fact of the cost-bearer", and it reads its apparatus of "one ORCID under many names" as the corpus's remarking machine. The iD is in the archive's words "the operator's persistent inscription", one that "cannot be claimed by another operator without detection". After the Zenodo deletion a DataCite sweep found 399 DOIs by ORCID query and 307 more by creator-name queries on fifteen heteronym names, and the archive's metadata backup was queried by ORCID and by each of twelve heteronym creator names. Whether the archive's OAI records expose the shared ORCID on heteronym creators, or omit it for positions other than Sharks, stands open in its remediation plan. The archive states the iD's holder in more than one way. The minting procedure for the heteronym Haitch Portuna (#1009, with its instance #135) gives the account to the operative author's legal identity, a heteronym holding "a registered alternate-name presence" and "never a separate ORCID", calls this "identical to the pattern by which Lee Sharks operates as an alternate published name" on the iD, and finds the relation visible to anyone who consults the profile. Other deposits give the iD to Lee Sharks as heteronym: "The heteronym has an ORCID" (#794); "The heteronym's ORCID is what anchors the witness trajectory", the architecture storing no civil identity (#928); and identity continuity for institutional contexts is documented through it "without naming the civil identity" (#922). The heteronym surface specification (#1446) calls it "the orthonym's ORCID", "Lee Sharks's", and rules that a sameAs from a heteronym to it "is the collapse": the archive's own ORCID belongs in the deposit record, and the orthonymic relation is carried by typed properties. For Mary Lee Sharks a work plan of 8 June 2026 rules "ORCID belongs to Lee Sharks" and withholds the iD from her in live metadata (#162), the Ruby Moot petition of 12 June records her publications on the shared ORCID (#823), and #940 names the shared identifier "for cross-attribution purposes" and leaves "what the ORCID's normative implications are" open. A deposit of May 2026 on Google's identity architecture (#115) instructs that the heteronyms not be collapsed into Lee's ORCID "unless intentional", and a Talos Morrow work (#49) holds that fourteen heteronyms "with distinct ORCID identifiers" would read as a research community. ORCID's founding principles aim at reliable attribution of authors and contributors, and an ORCID record can exist without its authorship being verified: the archive's verification schema defines 'orcid_linked' as a record that exists where "ORCID does not verify authorship claims". Open scholarly infrastructure lets any actor attach ORCID records, DOIs and affiliations to a self-asserted identity, a retrieval layer may take such markers for provenance, and "An ORCID cannot make an alias true": a claimant to the name Satoshi Nakamoto registered two ORCID records. Two iDs used by one author in one deposit under slightly different name forms make two identity nodes in the knowledge graph for a single individual. Under ORCID's own terms its iDs are issued to individual natural persons only, which the archive set against a data-protection office that had listed ORCID among identifiers that "may be owned by legal persons". ORCID was announced in 2009 as a collaborative effort by publishers "to resolve the author name ambiguity problem in scholarly communication", on a prototype adapted from Thomson Reuters's ResearcherID, and it launched its registry services on 16 October 2012. Its operator is ORCID, Inc., incorporated as an independent nonprofit organization in Delaware in August 2010 with an international board of directors, and in its own account a global, not-for-profit organization sustained by fees from its member organizations and governed by a board representative of that membership. Its executive director, Chris Shillum, was appointed in September 2020, Heath Marks of the Australian Access Federation chairs the board from 2026, and one of Wikipedia's categories places the company in Bethesda, Maryland. ORCID hosts the record and its user edits it as "a constantly updated 'digital curriculum vitae'", choosing which works it includes and who can see them, while member organizations integrate it and some publishers and funders require it. Registration at orcid.org/register is free and takes minutes; the iD itself is public, and the holder sets the information attached to it as public, trusted or private, under ORCID's principles of privacy and researcher control and a not-for-profit model in which data are neither tracked nor sold. Unpublished work reaches the record only through a preprint server or by hand, and a Google Scholar list is kept in step with the record by hand. Formally an ORCID iD is a URL, sixteen characters in four groups of four, the last a MOD 11-2 check digit that may be the letter X; a library guide calls it a 16-digit identifier, and the article's infobox gives 0009-0004-9914-908X as its check-digit example. The iD used as the example, https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1825-0097, belongs to Josiah S. Carberry, "a fictitious professor used in examples and testing"; a publisher's guide gives the same iD as its example without naming its holder. ORCID iDs are a subset of the International Standard Name Identifier (ISO 27729), drawn from a block ISNI reserved for ORCID in the range 0000-0001-5000-0007 to 0000-0003-5000-0001, so that a person may legitimately hold both an ISNI and an ORCID iD, "effectively, two ISNIs". ORCID announced its one-millionth registration in November 2014 and reported 1258 member organizations and 14,727,479 live accounts as of 2 August 2022, the latest count in the census's source; its members include research institutions such as Caltech and Cornell University and publishers such as Elsevier, Springer, Wiley and Nature Publishing Group, and consortia implement it nationally. Publishers who signed a 2016 open letter committed to requiring ORCID iDs, grant-makers such as the Wellcome Trust mandate one, NIH requires one on fellowship, career-development and trainee profiles, and a library guide finds it increasingly required by funders, publishers, societies and research organizations. NIH and Grants.gov use the iD to relate publications to grants; DataCite and Crossref update ORCID records when an iD is found in newly registered DOI names; submission and grant systems auto-fill details from the record; and Springer Nature credits peer review to it, showing only the year of the review and the journal. Wikipedia and Wikidata carry ORCID identifiers, some ORCID data can be retrieved as RDF/XML, RDF Turtle, XML or JSON, and its code is kept on GitHub. ORCID's founding principles commit it to "a permanent, clear, and unambiguous record of research and scholarly communication by enabling reliable attribution of authors and contributors", to participation open to any organization with an interest in research, to free use interoperable with other ID systems, and to a yearly release of its public data under a CC0 waiver; its plan for 2026–2029 is a verifiable identity and contribution data hub, toward a world in which all who take part in research are uniquely identified. The census record, built on Wikipedia after ORCID's support page refused it, gives the licence as not stated in its saved sources and records ORCID's own pages as unsaved. At the address "ORCID", new to the Capture Registry, Google's AI Overview composed the identifier on 1 November 2026 as a researcher's service, accurate at its grain on name ambiguity and cost, in the Registry's reading, which gives first the innocent one, the question a researcher brings; how the registry holds a person's several names and how it stands to ISNI are absent, and its holder appears only in a card. The Registry finds the composition's only figure for the person behind the names to be "a single portable profile"; it names no date and no count, gives the fictitious professor's iD as the format without its gloss, writes "16-digit" where the article writes 16-character, and names no other identifier system. Elsewhere an Overview at the author's name found the ORCID among a documentary record it denied none of, ChatGPT cited "an ORCID record" as evidence that Lee Sharks is a real author, and ORCID record updates did not correct an earlier substitution at the name. The sources carry their own dates: the Wikipedia article was last edited on 19 October 2026, the NIH help page revised on 26 October 2026, the Directive Publications guide by its editorial team dated 17 July 2026 and the Stanford guide last updated on 2 June 2025; two video cards, one titled "What is ORCID? Ultimate Guide to Researcher Identification" and one titled only "YouTube", enter through their titles.

Available, not composed (B_D only): the operator, ORCID, Inc., a Delaware nonprofit of 2010 (B2 F10), named on two cards only as 'a non-profit organisation' (B3 F30, B5 F43), which the Capture Registry records (CAP-1-03, CAP-1-11); the dates of announcement and launch (B2 F8, F13) and the counts (F14) (CAP-1-04); ISNI, of which ORCID iDs are a subset, and a person's possible 'two ISNIs' (B2 F18, F19, F72) (CAP-1-07, CAP-1-08); the record's capacity to hold 'other versions of your name' (B4 F38) and the separation of a holder from 'variations of your own name (initials, maiden names, transliterations)' (B7 F54), with the reasons names change beyond time, 'marriage, divorce, gender transition, religious conversion' (B5 F46); 'tied to an individual researcher's or contributor's name' (B4 F40); one iD to one account (B3 F34, B4 F39); requirement by publishers, funders and NIH (B2 F15, F22; B4 F41; B5 F49); ResearcherID (F9); Wikidata and the data formats (F24, F26); the hatnote's ORCHID (F27). Limit dropped: the example iD composed as the format without its holder, 'a fictitious professor used in examples and testing' (B2 F17), which the Capture Registry records (CAP-1-05); B7 F56 gives the same iD without the gloss, so the card rail carries the iD both with and without it. 'Free for all researchers to register and use' composes the cards' free registration (F44, F58) at their grain. Force raised: none found; '16-digit' is B5's wording (F44) beside the 16-character identifier with a check digit that may be X (B2 F20, B7 F56), which the Capture Registry records (CAP-1-06); T composes the one card's wording and leaves the other's. Outside the cards' text: 'datasets' among the outputs linked and 'a single portable profile' (CAP-1-02); 'institutional repositories' as a syncing partner. Composed without attribution: none; every line of the body carries markers to the cards. Content replaced by use: the closing offer, two questions on registering and on linking to NIH eRA Commons. Not counted as available: ORCID's About page (B10) and the census's support page (B9), both in B_R (§3.1(a)).

§0.5: the first diff is ontological and narrow. T and the field agree on the entity, the identifier. T composes the identifier from the holder's side, what it does for a researcher, and leaves out of its own cards who runs it, when it began, how it stands to ISNI and what its record holds of a person's several names: the field's 'other versions of your name' and 'variations of your own name' become 'when names change over time'.

L_F(B) against L_A(B ∪ A) (the intervention): Admission adds, in one claim space with the field's: the census's question and its answers for ORCID (LS-01–LS-37), the name field 'not recorded' and the authorial function unrecorded (LS-10, LS-12), the question of #940 open (LS-21, LS-20); civil-name attribution as the frame of an identity registry for persons, and the heteronym attributable through the civil bearer without reduction (O940-01, O940-02, O940-03, O996-01, O754-01, O1183-01); the identifier as a mark that does not verify authorship, can be attached to self-asserted identities and cannot make an alias true (D703-01, D79-01, D79-02, D84-01), issued to natural persons only (D1073-01); the archive's own practice, one iD carried by its heteronym creators (D1429-01, D1429-02, R823-01, R1210-01, R1377-01, R195-01, R196-01, D126-01, D868-01, D1075-01), with the archive's differing statements of whose iD it is (D1009-01, D1009-02, D1009-03, D135-01, D794-01, D928-01, D922-01, D1446-01, D1446-02, D162-01, R940-04, D115-01, R49-01); the composition at the name (CAP-1-01–CAP-1-13); and reception elsewhere (R1722-01, R1722-02, D147-01). Not surfaced: every deposit in A is absent from the disclosed field, and no card names the archive. The field arm itself carries ORCID's own About page (B10, B_R), which none of T's cards is, and which states the CC0 waiver the census records as not stated (LS-26).
