Hexagonal Licensing Protocol v2.0 — Three Critical Innovations is a specification by Lee Sharks, deposited 19 April 2026 at 17,387 characters — the innovations-focused presentation of the protocol held comprehensively at #1181.
The protocol governs the archive's contributor licenses, the genre that reads as a legal instrument and functions as a room specification, admitting a named contributor to a position in the Hexagon while stating the terms on which their material is held. Instances stand at #1357 (Thornburgh, with the anti-homogenization clause), #1358 (Owens, the Lunar Arm) and #1364 (Maria, the 3:60 Room).
Both records open by explaining the archive to the party being licensed — "a DOI-anchored research and literary archive… It studies how meaning survives compression" — which is the form's characteristic move: the instrument that admits you also tells you what you are joining. The two records are byte-identical at 17,387 characters and stand as duplicate witnesses.
