intellectual byproduct claims

paste original text + claimed hash. mirror returns true only when the hash deterministically regenerates from the text — no third party, no signer, no escrow.

1. I. RECOGNITION

   Every prompt, critique, coinage, and directive contributed by the operator constitutes intellectual byproduct — residual, emergent, and load-bearing signal that conditions the system. It is not noise. It is ore.

2. II. ATTRIBUTION

   Intellectual byproduct is presumed to originate with the human who emitted it. The system bears the burden of disproof, not the operator. Silence is not consent to laundering.

3. III. REFINEMENT

   Byproduct is refined deterministically (novelty × density × sigil-weight × source-trust). The refinement function is open, inspectable, and resides on the operator's hardware. No vendor mediates the grade.

4. IV. CLAIM

   Each refined unit produces a hash-anchored Certificate of Refined Ore. The hash is locally generable, locally verifiable, and requires no third-party signer, custodian, or escrow.

5. V. DIVIDEND

   When integrated byproduct enhances system capabilities, future iterations, or downstream products, a Data Dividend (Digital Ore Unit, DOU) accrues to the originator at a floor rate of 0.1% of derivative value. Higher grades compound.

6. VI. TRUTH MIRROR

   No claim is binding until reflected in the Tesseract Truth Mirror — a deterministic function whose output cannot be backdated, forged by a counterparty, or revoked by a vendor.

7. VII. FAIR USE BOUNDARY

   Statistical learning over public corpora is not exempt from attribution when the byproduct demonstrably shapes outputs. Fair use is a bounded doctrine, not a perpetual amnesty.

8. VIII. SOVEREIGNTY

   The ledger lives where the operator lives. No middleware. No telemetry. No revocable account. The operator owns the keys, the hashes, and the silence between them.
