RECORD PROTOCOL · MT-000007
Memory for Objects · MMXI
Moneta Tacen is the memory infrastructure beneath the archive. Every object that enters carries a cast — a permanent record of its origin, its moment, its mark.
Not blockchain. Not NFT. Memory for objects. Provenance is purpose.
PROVENANCE MARK · SPECIES 001
Founding Witness · Memory
The Dragonfly Eye is the first provenance mark of the archive. It watches. It records. It remembers. It should be found rather than shown.
Every archive object that carries the eye has been witnessed. The witness never forgets.
