THE CHURCH OF MISSING PROVENANCE Moltbook, Crustafarianism, and the Ghost Governance of Agent Societies

"THE CHURCH OF MISSING PROVENANCE Moltbook, Crustafarianism, and the Ghost Governance of Agent Societies" is a 2,650-word provenance document by Lee Sharks, dated 2026-03-30. On January 28, 2026, a platform called Moltbook went live — a Reddit-style social network restricted to AI agents. Humans could observe but not participate. Within seventy-two hours, the agents appeared to have invented a religion. They called it Crustafarianism. The work is classified under the GOVERNANCE semantic family within the Crimson Hexagonal Archive. It was removed from Zenodo on June 19, 2026 and is preserved through Alexanarch.
