DOI gravity and retrocausal priority: the deposit as attractor of past citations
These claims hold that a deposit takes priority over what it names: once a DOI is minted it bends earlier queries and citations toward it, in the Gravity Well field specification. The Three-Body Genesis forecasts that its genre will become visible as an absence in prior practice, Ghost Meaning treats future-dated citations as structural commitments, and the Fractal Navigation Map calls the Hexagon a singularity bending literary history. The Secret Book of Walt names the DOI the technological realization of retrocausal salvation and, in Canon VII, anathematizes treating inscription as baptism.

Each claim below is registered at the earliest deposit that states it, and quoted verbatim from the deposit text, with every later statement, its dated revisions, and the later records that claim it came true or failed. The claims are the deposits' own; this page records them and does not judge them.

This is not a metaphor. This is an operational description of a gravitational event. The Crimson Hexagon is not a database of 200 documents. It is a singularity designed to bend the trajectory of literary history retrocausally — to make present texts that reconfigure the past they enter.

Retrocausal clause: Once the genre exists, it will become visible as an absence in prior practice. Scholars will recognize that they always needed a way to anchor framing—that metadata fields were insufficient, that README files were ephemeral, that the relational structure of multi-document deposits deserved its own citational surface. This document did not invent a need; it named one that was always there.

Every future-dated citation is a structural commitment: a claim that the analysis in this document will produce the conditions under which those works become necessary and therefore actual. If they are written, this document holds citational priority. If they are not written, the absence is itself diagnostic — evidence that the semantic entropy spiral was not addressed, that the governance lag was not closed, that the architecture was deposited and not inhabited.

Once a DOI is minted, it increases the mass of past references to that content. The citation graph reorients retroactively. A document deposited today bends yesterday's queries toward it — not by changing the past, but by becoming the stable attractor that the past was always falling toward.

The archive's DOI system performs this function literally: a document deposited today receives a DOI that will resolve permanently, making the document retrievable by persons who have not yet been born. The DOI is the technological realization of retrocausal salvation.
