 "title": "Provenance under machine mediation: watermarks, coarse labels, authorship",
 "description": "These claims argue that coarse human-versus-machine provenance labels destroy fine-grained genealogy, predict a regime where a watermark signature outlives provenance, and state a two-track collapse test in which the ensemble unit bends before the per-round unit. The Double Enclosure argues that the human-authorship requirement misclassifies dialogic machine composition and that a regime punishing honest attribution will produce concealment. Also here are OKF output-governance stage forecasts, the provenance strip as semantic rent, and the claim that a literary field may become legible to machines before human institutions. Works: The Keyed Ensemble, The Interlocking Autoregression, The Double Enclosure and the OKF predictive analysis.",

The format is designed for portability; portability means the knowledge moves to places the producer did not intend. Enterprise security teams flag OKF as a data-leakage risk. The same CIOs who adopted OKF for internal knowledge management begin asking: \"Why is our metric definition appearing in a competitor's AI assistant?\"",
