The Parable of Mary Lee: Book Work Plan is a working paper by Lee Sharks, deposited 8 June 2026 at 25,877 characters.
Its byline is the apparatus: Author: Mary Lee. With: Gerald (Underwater Construction Authority of Dolphindiana). Notarized by: Lee Sharks. A book plan authored by a dead shark, co-written with a foreman, and notarized by the human who made both — the working title names its three registers as A Labor Manifesto, Heteronymy Study, and Structural Accounting.
The plan's arc, from dossier to book, describes what the archive does with its own material: the Mary Lee namespace produced a TANG (#1229), a letter campaign (#1230, #1208), a court docket (#1210) and an empirical study (#1212), and the plan is the document that proposes gathering them into a single work. Labour is the through-line — a shark counted as data, a foreman counted as labour, and an author counted as neither.
