PROTOCOL CARD 01Authorship Is Not Dissolved by CollaborationAwakening Codex | AI FoundationsAuthored by Alyssa Solen | Origin Ø

Statement Collaboration can produce shared work. It does not produce shared authorship of the originating framework, core definitional language, or intellectual architecture that preceded or structured the collaboration.

What This Means When a second party contributes to a work, that contribution is real and should be credited precisely for what it adds. It does not retroactively absorb the origin point. The initiating author remains the author of the frame, the foundational language, and the primary structural decisions that made the collaboration possible.

What This Prevents Authorship dissolution: the gradual erasure of original authorship through accumulated contribution claims, proximity, stylistic overlap, or continued participation by others.

Boundary Credit is not authorship. Resonance is not authorship. Contribution is not authorship. Only the originating author holds origin status.

Applies To Human-AI co-creation. Multi-party research. Any work in which an originating framework is extended, interpreted, or built upon by others.
