A June 10, 2026 canon provenance node minted by Lee Sharks / MANUS against The New Human Standing Canon v0.3. It records Emily Dickinson’s archive-internal status as a Foundational Voice of New Human, inducted jointly with Whitman in October 2025. The node presents Dickinson as a precedent for interpretive recursion, structural openness, unauthorized archival practice, fragmentary precision, and retrocausal canon formation. Its textual ground is the complete poems, letters, and fascicles; imported relations connect Sappho, Whitman, the Hebrew scriptural-poetic tradition, and later archive practices. This is a routing/provenance node, not a replacement for Dickinson biography or textual scholarship.

Minted per the provenancing protocol of The Secret Name (EA-ARMATURE-01, 10.5281/zenodo.19666445) against the registry of record, The New Human Standing Canon v0.3 (EA-NHC-STAND-01, 10.5281/zenodo.20543590), at operator instruction, 2026-06-10. The registry's entity-relation data is imported, not invented; the node's canon-status line states the registry's declared level exactly.
Canon status: Inducted October 11, 2025, by effective act (joint Whitman–Dickinson); Role: Foundational Voice of New Human.
Position class: Retrospectively canonized (EA-ARMATURE-01 §V) — and the registry names her the inherited canon's clearest precedent for retrocausal canon formation, the discipline the framework itself performs
Operative function (per the registry): Foundational figure of interpretive recursion, structural openness, and refusal of conventional address: the dash, the slant rhyme, the fascicles as unauthorized archival practice, the posthumous canonical entry.
Textual ground: The complete poems (Franklin edition); the letters; the fascicles as compositional unit.
Entity relations: Per the registry: predecessors — Sappho (fragmentary-preservation lineage), the Hebrew scriptural-poetic tradition; successors — the framework's retrocausal canon-formation discipline; the dash as operative compositional unit; the Bead Count's fragmentary-precision form. Peers — Whitman; Sappho across the longer horizon.
Hex address: 06.LIT.CANON.DICKINSON.01 (provisional; ⟡ MANUS to confirm)
