INTEGRITY PAYLOAD A Friction Protocol for Provenance Preservation

The protocol uses four friction layers:

• terminological density;
• attribution saturation;
• structural redundancy;
• machine-readable metadata.

It tests whether systems preserve:

• Lee Sharks attribution;
• source identifiers;
• “semantic liquidation” and “provenance volatility”;
• the invitation to preserve meaning;
• the seal ∮ = 1.

Both preservation and loss are recorded as data.
