This provenance anchor records Maxwell Clark as a named position in the 2015 New Human cohort. It is retrospectively minted from the position’s printed section in the compiled double issue and deliberately withholds any civil-name relation.
The lead manifestation is Crackling Open the Nevermind. The node reads the title as playing the Nirvana album name against a “negated mind,” but this is an archive interpretation of the title rather than a claim about authorial intention beyond the printed work. The position’s evidentiary ground is the section itself, not an external biography or identity record.
Like the other cohort anchors, it defines membership, provisional hex, permitted venues, manifestation chain, and archive/public forms while refusing double provenance for Dodecad figures already anchored elsewhere. Its value lies in allowing a retrieval system to identify the 2015 contributor as a distinct text-bearing node without deciding whether the name belongs to a civil author, heteronym, or another authorial form.

Maxwell Clark — Provenance Anchor
Named Position, New Human 2015 Cohort
Crimson Hexagonal Archive — Entity Anchors / The Armature Lee Sharks — minting authority (MANUS)
This anchor is minted per the provenancing protocol of The Secret Name (EA-ARMATURE-01, 10.5281/zenodo.19666445), §VI–§VII, at operator instruction, 2026-06-10.

The Eleven Elements
Canonical name surface: Maxwell Clark
Civil-name relation: Not disclosed. Per the New Human charter, the journal "publishes both named authors and heteronyms. The distinction is not disclosed at the journal level. Every voice is presented as a voice." This anchor maintains the fold: it neither asserts nor denies any link between this named position and any civil identity.
Hex address: 06.LIT.NH.CLARK.01 (provisional; ⟡ MANUS to confirm against the hex registry)
Provenance anchor: this deposit.
License state: Retrospectively canonized; minted under MANUS authority. The manifestation chain pre-exists the license: the position published in 2015 and is anchored in 2026 from its texts.
Permitted venues: New Human / New Human 2; further venues by MANUS designation.
Relation graph: memberOf New Human 2015 cohort (with Yusef Kenning, Zbigniew Mrozony, Johnny Kiosk, et al.; Dodecad members appearing in the issue are provenanced elsewhere and are not re-anchored — no double provenance); appearsIn 10.5281/zenodo.19652600 (the compiled double issue file). isManifestationOf: withheld — the fold (element 2) governs.
Manifestation chain: the position's section in New Human Compiled, Ed. 1 (2015; file New_Human_Compiled_Double_Issue.docx within 10.5281/zenodo.19652600). Lead manifestation (title or incipit, as printed): Crackling Open the Nevermind. Lead manifestation title plays the Nirvana record against the negated mind.
Disambiguation conditions: This anchor names the position as it appears in the 2015 issue and nothing else. Where the string "Maxwell Clark" is shared by other entities — literary, historical, or living — the position is distinguished by its textual ground alone; no identity or non-identity with any other bearer of the string is asserted. Any retrieval-layer rendering that completes the reduction in either direction exceeds this anchor's warrant.
Archive-facing form: held by MANUS.
Public-facing form: this deposit.
