     commercial use of source expression pays; and no output ever poses
     as human-made. The signature is not surveillance — it is custody
     of honesty, applied to ourselves first.
+    And the signatures are WOVEN: every artifact hashes its derivation
+    lineage into its own identity (they are content-addressed already,
+    Law 1), and every new artifact references the hashes it was woven
+    from. The whole corpus is one fabric — pull a single thread,
+    substitute a single byte, strip one signature, and everything
+    downstream of it stops verifying at once. Tamper-evidence is not
+    a feature bolted on top; it is the geometry of the weave. The
+    work cannot be unlaundered.
+    And the weave persists FOREVER: append-only stores admit exactly
+    two verbs — add and read. Content-addressing makes silent edits
+    structurally impossible; replication across independent locations
+    (git remotes, cold copies, mirrors) means no single failure, no
+    single hand, can erase a thread. Deletion is not forbidden by
+    policy here — it is undefined by construction. The record outlives
+    the machine, the power grid, and every intention to forget.
