EA-MPAI-RETRO-01 v1.1 distinguishes a CHA genre from a commercial company and uses the collision to define a provenance failure at the hyperlink layer.
A retrocausal report is a structured archive document that narrates a later textual event as altering the canonical weight or interpretation of an earlier one. It does not claim physical time reversal and does not function as prediction.
The packet distinguishes:
Retrocausal, Inc. is described in the record as a Redmond manufacturing-AI company producing computer-vision copilots for assembly and process analysis. The packet reports no public use by the company of the exact genre phrase “retrocausal reports” in the sources it reviewed.
The forensic event proceeds in five observable stages:
1. Google AI Mode retrieves archive deposits. 2. It correctly composes “retrocausal reports” as a genre descriptor. 3. It links the phrase to a general search. 4. the search surface presents the company as a namespace neighbor; 5. a reader may leave the archive’s provenance neighborhood.
The packet calls this traversal-layer provenance failure. The failure is neither initial retrieval nor composition; it occurs when a composed concept is attached to an unrelated link, entity route, or search neighborhood.
The same overview reportedly disambiguated the fictional Underwater Construction Authority from a real commercial diving corporation. That partial success is used to show that the system had a disambiguation mechanism but did not apply it consistently to the genre phrase.
The event is classified as bordering PER-C: the conceptual neighborhood survives in text, while the traversal route breaks the lineage.
