The Canonical Anchoring Protocol is a Crimson Hexagonal Archive specification for relating deposits to a canon-level citation graph.
Version 0.2 preserves six relation types and revises the operative graph from an inherited canon to the New Human Standing Canon. A deposit may carry both archive-internal canonical relations and ordinary scholarly citations.
The resulting canon status is internal to the archive’s governance. It does not by itself confer external canonical recognition or guarantee future persistence.
