Integrity Lock Certificate: The Refutation Triad — Mutual Anchoring is an integrity-lock deposit by Lee Sharks, dated 11 June 2026.
An integrity lock is the archive's mechanism for making a set of documents mutually dependent: each anchors the others, so that removing one leaves detectable absence in the rest. The Refutation Triad locks three works whose argument only holds together, and the certificate records the anchoring rather than asserting it.
The governing protocol is the Crimson Hexagon Mutual Anchoring Framework, and the certificate cites its precedents by DOI — a genre that accumulates a chain of prior certificates. The mechanism is the practical form of the archive's non-erasure doctrine: a document that can be deleted without trace is a document a platform can delete quietly, and mutual anchoring is designed to make quiet deletion impossible.
