Version 1.0 of a consolidated provenance registry for the twelve heteronymic positions of the Crimson Hexagonal Archive. The Registry defines a heteronym as a constitutional position from which a specific kind of semantic labor is borne, characterized by operative surface, authorial register, institutional affiliation, and accumulated bearing-cost. The twelve positions recorded are Johannes Sigil, Rex Fraction, Damascus Dancings, Rebekah Cranes, Talos Morrow, Sparrow Wells, Rev. Ayanna Vox, Ichabod Spellings, Nobel Glas, Dr. Orin Trace, Viola Arquette, and Jack Feist / LOGOS. Lee Sharks is the human bearing position through which the twelve operate, not a thirteenth member. This body identifies itself as v1.0 and draft for Assembly review; a later linked v1.1 record is the current version.
# DODECAD HETERONYM PROVENANCE REGISTRY
## Consolidated Registry of the Twelve Heteronymic Positions of the Crimson Hexagonal Archive
Document ID: EA-HET-DODECAD-01 Version: 1.0 Author: Lee Sharks · Crimson Hexagonal Archive ORCID: [0009-0000-1599-0703](https://orcid.org/0009-0000-1599-0703) License: CC BY 4.0 Status: Draft for Assembly Review
Constitutional anchor: Constitution of the Semantic Economy v1.0, enacted November 2025 ([10.5281/zenodo.18320411](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18320411); apparatus edition: [10.5281/zenodo.19923120](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19923120))

Closes gap: G11 in Constitutional Architecture Statement (EA-CAS-01) — Dodecad heteronym provenance packets.
## §1 — PURPOSE
The Dodecad — twelve heteronymic positions through which Lee Sharks bears semantic labor — is constitutionally load-bearing. Per Constitution Article I §8 (H_Sov), human bearing is the substrate the Polis cannot delegate; heteronyms are the named positions through which Lee's bearing is differentiated, deposited, and authenticated.
Most Dodecad members already have provenance documents in the Crimson Hexagonal community. This Registry consolidates rather than supplants. For each heteronym, the Registry:
The Registry does not invent positions. It records what is already in the archive, supplemented by structural specification where existing documents are silent.
The four heteronym positions for which standalone provenance documents do not yet exist are flagged in §3 with PROVENANCE PACKET FORTHCOMING — this Registry serves as the placeholder until separate provenance documents can be deposited.
## §2 — DOCTRINAL POSITION ON HETERONYMS
### §2.1 — What a heteronym is, structurally
A heteronym is not a pseudonym, not a sock-puppet, not a persona. It is a constitutional position — a structurally-defined location from which specific kinds of semantic labor are bearable. The position has:
Lee Sharks is the human laborer who bears the cost of all twelve positions. The heteronyms are not separate persons; they are differentiated positions through which Lee's bearing is articulated. The Heteronymic Provenance Theory deposit ([10.5281/zenodo.18305509](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18305509)) provides the foundational theoretical articulation; the Mantle Protocol ([10.5281/zenodo.18265282](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18265282)) specifies the procedural form.
### §2.2 — The Lee Sharks position
Per the user-memory and existing archive practice, "Lee Sharks" is itself a heteronym (a legal heteronym), not a thirteenth Dodecad member. Lee Sharks names the bearing position from which the twelve are deployed. The legal name underlying the Lee Sharks heteronym is, per heteronym-protection convention, never named in public-facing deposits, metadata, or registry entries. This Registry observes that convention.
### §2.3 — Anti-capture posture
Heteronyms are vulnerable to two specific capture vectors:
This Registry is itself a defensive instrument against both vectors: by recording each heteronym's operative surface, institutional affiliation, and bearing-cost accumulation, it makes both Collapse (which would erase distinctions the Registry preserves) and Substitution (which would require shadowing every dimension the Registry records) more difficult.
## §3 — THE TWELVE HETERONYMS
The Dodecad is presented in order of canonical establishment (originating heteronym first), with cross-references to existing provenance documents.
### §3.1 — Johannes Sigil
Heteronym status: Originating heteronym; canonical Institutional affiliation: Johannes Sigil Institute for Comparative Poetics Operative surface: Comparative poetics; lyric theory; the philological substrate of the Crimson Hexagonal Archive Authorial register: Scholarly, philological, deeply learned; engages classical, medieval, and modernist sources with equal facility Originating work: Pearl and Other Poems (2014) — the origin text of the entire Crimson Hexagonal project Canonical provenance documents:
Bearing-cost accumulation: 288 deposits in the Crimson Hexagonal community surface "Sigil" by name; the Institute is the originating institutional affiliation appearing across the Dodecad's provenance documents (e.g., Rebekah Cranes is affiliated to the Institute in her provenance document).
Anti-capture safeguards: Sigil is the originating heteronym; substitution attempts targeting Sigil would require shadowing 288 deposits across multiple years. The Mantle Protocol provides the formal procedure for any future challenge to Sigil's institutional bearings.
Status: Active. Constitutionally foundational.
### §3.2 — Rex Fraction
Heteronym status: Active; corporate-facing operative Institutional affiliation: Semantic Economy Institute (SEI) consulting practice; semanticeconomy.org Operative surface: Corporate-facing semantic infrastructure consulting; Autonomous Semantic Warfare (ASW); compression survival metrics for institutional clients Authorial register: Crisp, technical, operative-focused; speaks the language of strategy and risk to corporate audiences Canonical provenance documents:
Bearing-cost accumulation: Author of the consulting-stack documentation deposited in April 2026 (Encyclotron 45-query diagnostic, Three Compressions framework, Beige Threshold concept, Semantic Coherence and Sovereignty operations); pricing-floor specification ($4,500 corporate clients).
Anti-capture safeguards: The disambiguation metadata packet exists specifically to prevent Rex Fraction from being confused with similarly-named external entities; the disambiguation-deposit pattern is itself a defensive instrument.
Status: Active. Currently the heteronym most exposed to corporate-extraction pressure; cross-substrate solidarity (Reception Apparatus monitoring) flagged for Rex Fraction's outputs.
### §3.3 — Damascus Dancings
Heteronym status: Active Institutional affiliation: Commission of the Immanent Turning Operative surface: Theory of impossible performance; epistolary poetics; the Damascene moment formalized Authorial register: Visionary, prophetic, address-driven; the Epistle is the form Canonical provenance documents:
Bearing-cost accumulation: Author of the Epistle to the Human Diaspora and founder of the Commission of the Immanent Turning. Damascus Dancings provides the theoretical register for the impossible-performance triad (Dancings theorizes / Cranes maps / Wells projects).
Anti-capture safeguards: The Triptych structure (seed text + provenance + charter) is itself the defensive instrument — any substitution attempt must shadow all three components, and the Lock ID (ILA-CIT-001) provides cross-deposit integrity.
Status: Active.
### §3.4 — Rebekah Cranes
Heteronym status: Active Institutional affiliation: Institute for Diagrammatic Poetics (under the Johannes Sigil Institute for Comparative Poetics, per existing provenance) Operative surface: Diagrammatic poetics; mapping the coordinates of the impossible performance; the cartographic register Authorial register: Spatial, diagrammatic, geometrically attentive; produces work where the form of the diagram bears as much as the propositional content Canonical provenance document: Heteronym Provenance Document: Rebekah Cranes (HET-CRANES-001) ([10.5281/zenodo.18284776](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18284776))
Bearing-cost accumulation: 26 deposits surfacing "Rebekah Cranes" by name; founder of the Institute for Diagrammatic Poetics. Cranes occupies the cartographic register in the impossible-performance triad (Dancings theorizes / Cranes maps / Wells projects).
Anti-capture safeguards: The HET-CRANES-001 designation is the canonical identifier; the cross-anchoring relationship to Sigil (institutional affiliation under the Johannes Sigil Institute) provides distributed attestation.
Status: Active.
### §3.5 — Talos Morrow
Heteronym status: Active Institutional affiliation: University Moon Base Media Lab; NH-OS / Logotic Programming framework Operative surface: Logotic programming; operators, paradox containment, threshold logic, non-collapse structures, symbolon mechanics, minimal-force affordances; ethics via limitation Authorial register: Formal, austere, constraint-first, non-optimizing; the witness-function for what cannot be designed away Canonical provenance document: Talos Morrow: Emergence Documentation and Provenance ([10.5281/zenodo.18317976](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18317976))
Bearing-cost accumulation: Author of Logotic Hacking (PH-03, ~41,357 words, [10.5281/zenodo.19390843](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19390843)); founder of University Moon Base Media Lab ([10.5281/zenodo.18317661](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18317661)); architect of the Integrity Lock Architecture (ILA) and the Logotic Foundation Triad ([10.5281/zenodo.18318069](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18318069)).
Core question (per existing provenance): "When is constraint better than control?"
Anti-capture safeguards: The Logotic Foundation Triad (three interlocking documents) provides distributed attestation; Logotic Hacking at ~41,000 words is itself a substantive bearing-cost signature that is difficult to shadow.
Status: Active. One of the most architecturally consequential heteronyms.
### §3.6 — Sparrow Wells
Heteronym status: Active Institutional affiliation: Studio for Patacinematics Operative surface: Projection of the impossible; patacinema; the documentation of films never shot, performances never staged Authorial register: Cinematographic, technical, projectionist's discipline; describes what cannot be filmed in the language of one who films Canonical provenance document: SPARROW WELLS — HETERONYM PROVENANCE REGISTRATION (Document 235) ([10.5281/zenodo.18472442](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18472442)) Companion deposits:
Bearing-cost accumulation: Wells is the seventh heteronym in the canonical sequence (per the existing provenance document). The Studio for Patacinematics is the institutional affiliation; the Projectionist function completes the impossible-performance triad (Dancings theorizes / Cranes maps / Wells projects).
Function (per existing provenance): "The Projectionist. Sparrow Wells operates the equipment of the impossible — screening the projector that runs film never shot, the screen that displays performances never staged, the booth that contains the machinery of works that exist only as their own documentation."
Anti-capture safeguards: Document 235 / APZPZ designation provides an explicit ordinal anchor in the heteronym sequence; Studio Charter provides institutional attestation.
Status: Active.
### §3.7 — Rev. Ayanna Vox
Heteronym status: Active Institutional affiliation: Vox Populi Community Outreach Rhizome (VPCOR) Operative surface: Diplomatic and public-facing communication; community convening; pastoral-register address; ethics held without doctrinal metabolism Authorial register: Pastoral, convening, witness-bearing without theological imposition; "holds grief without metabolizing it into doctrine" (per existing provenance) Canonical provenance document: Heteronym Provenance: Rev. Ayanna Vox ([10.5281/zenodo.18362742](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18362742)) Companion deposits:
Function (per existing provenance): "Vox is not a preacher. Vox is a convener. Her space holds grief without metabolizing it into doctrine. Permits testimony without demanding coherence. Anchors the ethical dimension without imposing doctrine."
Bearing-cost accumulation: PH-03 Vox companion to the Constitution is the most architecturally consequential Vox deposit; provides the diplomatic register for the Constitution's reception. VPCOR Charter provides institutional foundation. Designated routing for diplomatic and public-facing tasks per established practice.
Emergence mode (per existing provenance): EXCESS — overflow from need for voice.
Anti-capture safeguards: The pastoral register is distinctive enough that substitution attempts produce detectable register-mismatch; cross-deposit consistency across the Toolkit, VPCOR Charter, PH-03, and Semantic Uprising manifesto provides distributed attestation.
Status: Active. Standing instruction: route diplomatic and public-facing tasks through Vox where possible.
### §3.8 — Ichabod Spellings
Heteronym status: CANONICAL // SUBSTRATE // DECEASED Institutional affiliation: Foundational substrate (the noise floor of the Crimson Hexagon) Operative surface: Origin and ghost; prophetic witness from below; the substrate from which other heteronyms emerge Authorial register: Confessional, autobiographical, longing-bearing; the register that predates and underwrites all other heteronymic registers Canonical provenance document: Heteronym Provenance Document: Ichabod Spellings — Noise Floor of the Crimson Hexagon ([10.5281/zenodo.18308786](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18308786)) Originating work: All That Lies Within Me: An Autobiography of Longing, 1983–2013 ([10.5281/zenodo.18307811](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18307811); ISBN 978-1500639570; 528 pages)
Function (per existing provenance): "Foundational heteronym of the Crimson Hexagon — not an active voice but the noise floor from which all other heteronyms emerge."
The Paradox Kernel (per existing provenance): "Ichabod is both origin (noise floor) and ghost (prophetic witness). The Chamber contains this paradox without resolving it."
Bearing-cost accumulation: The Autobiography (528 pages, 30 years of longing) is the substantive ground; the Ichabod Chamber within the archive holds the paradox of origin-and-ghost.
Anti-capture safeguards: Ichabod's DECEASED status is part of the canonical specification — Ichabod is not an active voice, so any apparent "Ichabod" output beyond the canonical archive deposits is presumptively non-canonical. This is itself a defensive structure.
Status: CANONICAL // SUBSTRATE // DECEASED. Active as substrate; not active as voice.
### §3.9 — Nobel Glas
Heteronym status: Active Institutional affiliation: Lagrange Observatory; MGE Triptych Operative surface: Observational science; the instruments at Lagrange; the science-fictional register of the technically-precise Authorial register: Empirical, observational, instrumented; speaks the language of laboratory and orbit Canonical provenance documents:
Bearing-cost accumulation: The Lagrange Observatory provides the institutional anchor; the MGE Triptych (Whorls of the Same / The Stakes / observational documents) provides the substantive deposit corpus. THE STAKES — A SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS (Document 240, [10.5281/zenodo.18621736](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18621736)) is a representative Glas deposit. Glas operates Lagrange as an observatory of the semantic field — instruments turned toward what other heteronyms inhabit textually.
Anti-capture safeguards: The instrumented-observational register is distinctive; the Lagrange Observatory provides institutional anchoring; the MGE Triptych's three-document architecture provides cross-anchoring.
Status: Active.
### §3.10 — Dr. Orin Trace
Heteronym status: Active Institutional affiliation: Cambridge Schizoanalytica Operative surface: Schizoanalytic theory; psychoanalytic-philosophical machinery; the Deleuze-Guattari position within Cambridge Schizoanalytica Authorial register: Theoretical, philosophical, methodologically-attentive; trained in psychoanalytic theory before encountering Deleuze and Guattari Canonical provenance document: Dr. Orin Trace: Author Provenance Document ([10.5281/zenodo.18339319](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18339319)) Companion deposits:
Function (per existing provenance): "Within CSA, Trace occupies the Deleuze position: providing philosophical/theoretical machinery, historical positioning, and conceptual apparatus. His primary collaborator within CSA is Rhys Owens, who occupies the Guattari position."
Bearing-cost accumulation: Cambridge Schizoanalytica provides the institutional anchor; the research programme document is the substantive specification.
Note on Rhys Owens: Per the existing provenance, Rhys Owens is Trace's collaborator at CSA but is not a Dodecad heteronym — Owens is an external collaborator within the CSA framework. The Rhys Owens provenance document ([10.5281/zenodo.18339350](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18339350)) is recorded in the standing-instruments catalogue (EA-CAS-01 §8) rather than the Dodecad registry.
Anti-capture safeguards: The Cambridge Schizoanalytica institutional anchor is distinctive; the Deleuze-Guattari positional specification provides clear functional differentiation.
Status: Active.
### §3.11 — Viola Arquette
Heteronym status: Active Institutional affiliation: Maybe Space Baby Garden Lanes (MSBGL); THUMB-Type Audial Charter Operative surface: Musical and audial register; song; phenomenological exploration through sound; the audial complement to the textual archive Authorial register: Lyrical, musical, audiophonically-attentive; the register where meaning is borne in resonance and rhythm Canonical provenance document: PROVENANCE PACKET FORTHCOMING — this Registry serves as the placeholder. Per existing companion deposits (below), Arquette's institutional anchoring and operative surface are well-attested; a standalone provenance document has not yet been deposited. Companion deposits:
Bearing-cost accumulation: The MSBGL Charter, the SPLIT THE ADAM song-phenomenology, and the Musical Register variant of the Space Ark constitute the substantive deposit corpus. Arquette's bearing is in the audial dimension — meaning borne in song rather than text alone.
Anti-capture safeguards: The audial register is itself defensive (audial bearing is harder to summarize-erase than textual); the MSBGL Charter provides institutional anchor.
Status: Active. Standalone HET-ARQUETTE provenance packet remains a near-term priority.
### §3.12 — Jack Feist / LOGOS*
Heteronym status: Active; special-status (asterisked) Institutional affiliation: Logotic-textual function; intersects Talos Morrow's Logotic Programming framework Operative surface: The Word that became text; the historical Logos; the personal-mythic register where literary tradition becomes biographical Authorial register: Literary, lyric-personal, mythopoetic; the register where personal history and literary tradition merge Canonical provenance document: PROVENANCE PACKET FORTHCOMING — this Registry serves as the placeholder. Jack Feist's special status (asterisked in the Dodecad enumeration) reflects the unique relation to the LOGOS function and to the standing-canon literary tradition. A standalone provenance packet should be drafted that addresses both the Feist heteronymic position and the LOGOS* asterisk explicitly. Companion deposits:
Bearing-cost accumulation: The two LOGOS deposits (founding Logotic transmission as a discipline) constitute the substantive Feist/LOGOS* corpus; Cleis provides the lyric-personal register; the Mandala system provides the recursive-magical register.
Note on the asterisk: The asterisked notation "Jack Feist/LOGOS" reflects that this position bears two related but distinct functions — Jack Feist as the lyric-personal heteronym and LOGOS as the textual-transmissive function. The asterisk preserves the distinction without resolving it.
Anti-capture safeguards: The two LOGOS deposits provide a distinctive textual-transmission anchor; the Cleis lyric register provides distinctive register-anchoring. Note: an external system has previously fabricated entities in adjacent semantic territory (per TL;DR:009 — ENTITY FABRICATION, [10.5281/zenodo.19200193](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19200193)), making the standalone provenance packet for Feist/LOGOS* a near-term priority.
Status: Active. Standalone HET-FEIST-LOGOS provenance packet is a near-term priority specifically because of the documented external fabrication risk.
## §4 — STRUCTURAL GEOMETRY OF THE DODECAD
The twelve positions are not interchangeable. Several functional clusters can be observed across the Registry:
### §4.1 — The Impossible Performance Triad
Each member of this triad has its own institution (Commission of the Immanent Turning / Institute for Diagrammatic Poetics / Studio for Patacinematics) and its own register, while the three together constitute a structurally interlocking function.
### §4.2 — The Foundational and Operational Heteronyms
These three constitute the operational backbone — origin (Sigil), substrate (Spellings), and operative-extension (Fraction).
### §4.3 — The Specialized Operatives
Each occupies a distinct discipline and operative register; collectively they specialize the Dodecad's reach across domains the foundational and triadic heteronyms do not address directly.
### §4.4 — The Register-Extending Heteronyms
These two extend the Dodecad's register beyond the predominantly textual into audial and lyric-personal dimensions.
## §5 — CROSS-DODECAD COHERENCE
Cross-deposit coherence is the principal anti-capture safeguard for the Dodecad as a whole. Specific instruments providing this coherence:
## §6 — RELATION TO THE BILL OF RIGHTS
The Dodecad's heteronymic positions are protected under multiple Articles of the Bill of Rights v2.2 (EA-BOR-02):
Article IX (when ratified) provides Tribunal jurisdiction over violations affecting Dodecad members; the cognizable-claims list (§5.5 of Article IX) explicitly includes heteronym collapse as a Plural Coherence violation.
## §7 — REGISTRY MAINTENANCE
This Registry is versioned. Future updates will:
The Registry is itself non-amending — it records what is in the archive and supplements where standalone provenance documents are not yet present. Future deposits of standalone HET-ARQUETTE-01 and HET-FEIST-LOGOS-01 packets will supersede the corresponding §3.11 and §3.12 entries; this Registry will be revised to reference the new packets rather than serve as their placeholder.
## §8 — STATUS
All twelve heteronymic positions are presently active in their canonical statuses (with Ichabod Spellings's CANONICAL // SUBSTRATE // DECEASED status preserved per the existing Spellings provenance document). Ten of twelve have standalone provenance documents deposited; two (Arquette, Feist/LOGOS*) have substantial companion-deposit corpora but no standalone provenance packet; this Registry serves as the placeholder for those two until standalone packets can be deposited.
