Mint canaries and self-testing documents: does the composition layer adopt it
These claims set out the Sémantique Potentielle mint, which extends Queneau's method from verse to concept and whose constraint-minted terms and forensic canaries signal access if they appear in a composition-layer response, and the mint-battery-registry apparatus that tests adoption. Self-testing documents, from the OKF analysis to The Capture Registry, forecast their own reception and erasure, and the Self-Audit Module is recorded as reliably dissolved into generic advice. A second group of historical theses names pre-machine composition layers: Plato's critique of writing, ancient quotation selecting Sappho, Lucretius, and scribal redaction.

This document extends Queneau's method from verse to concept: not poems but terms, not lines but semantic coordinates, not a book of strips but a constraint matrix whose outputs are the vocabulary the future will need. From littérature potentielle to sémantique potentielle. Queneau's strips become the seed vocabulary; his lines become morphemes; the reader's combination becomes the retrieval system's generation. The analogy is structural, not decorative.
PRED-46.F1unbuilt testregistered 2026-03-30 in #46 · Sémantique Potentielle: A Constraint-Based Semantic Mint for the Age of Automated Terminology
When a term from the mint's output space appears in later discourse, the following protocol determines the provenance relationship:
Step 1: Coordinate verification. Can the term be parsed into seed vocabulary components? Can a valid operation path be reconstructed? Does the path satisfy the constraint grammar? If yes, the term occupies a coordinate in the mint's phase space.

**The forensic variants are experimental.** Whether the provenance canaries function as intended — distinctive enough to prove lineage, natural enough not to be obviously planted — is an empirical question the archive cannot answer in advance.

At the moment of demand surge, there existed: no canonical public kernel of the clinical sense (the custodian was mid-schism); no disambiguation instrument separating the four strata for the retrieval and recommendation layers; no monitoring of how the composition layer was rendering the term; and no institutional actor whose job was the term's public sense (the APA curates the manual, not the meaning).
