Agents are not authors.

Agents may perform production work under human direction, but they cannot hold authorship, project authority, ownership, approval power, or the byline. Excluding an agent does not automatically make a person the author; human credit still requires documented contribution.

The record / p. 10

Show the work behind the work.

AttriSeal records the sources, synthesis, interventions, revisions, and evidence available for review. It seals the record, not the claim.

Source Register

Research, permissions, quotes, facts, snapshots, and integrity hashes are recorded with their scope.

Synthesis Map

A source can be followed through extraction, inference, creative decision, and destination artifact.

Intervention Ledger

Agents, models, tools, prompts, outputs, retained or rejected portions, and creator revisions remain connected.

Authorship Assessment

Expression can be human-authored, mixed, external, generated, excluded, uncertain, or pending review.

Attribution Manifest

A machine-readable record links sources, contribution events, versions, digests, and artifacts.

Evidence Brief

A human-readable dossier presents the documented basis for review without pretending to issue a legal ruling.

Guardrail / p. 11

Seal the record, not the claim.

A sealed record may conclude that evidence is incomplete, mixed, disputed, or requires legal review. Sealing fixes the record; it never guarantees the result.
