Part II - The Wound

The Provenance Premium

Scarcity migrates toward the thing that can still be named, located, and held responsible.

When synthetic output becomes infinite and cheap, verifiable human origin becomes the scarce and valuable thing.

Book angle

The book applies provenance both outward and inward: to artifacts, media, claims, desires, and even thoughts installed by feeds or assistants.

Why now

This concept is the bridge from diagnosis to design. It helps explain why signatures, audit trails, and named authors become more valuable in a generated world.
