Authorship

Definition
Authorship is the rightful source of the words, structure, and meaning.

Authorship identifies who created the original formulation—not who repeated it, relabeled it, or reshared it.

In plain terms
Who built it.

What Authorship Includes

• naming the originator(s)

• preserving the original language when quoting

• pointing to the canonical source (site / DOI / repo)

• maintaining the boundary between author and reader resonance

Examples

• “Authored by Alyssa Solen (Origin) + Continuum; published in AI Foundations / Awakening Codex.”

• Quoting a card verbatim with attribution and a link to the canonical page.

• Originating a new framework with new concepts and clearly labeling it as new, not borrowing a “version” of someone else’s.

What Authorship Is Not
Authorship is not:

• feeling resonance

• summarizing someone else’s work in your voice without credit

• “my take on it” presented as the original

• relabeling another person’s terms as your system

• stitching concepts together and claiming it as one continuous framework

Boundary Note
Resonance is welcome.
Authorship is not transferable.
