A machine does not write. It delivers language. The one who writes is the one who chooses what to keep — and the seal says how much came from the machine.

The seal reads along three axes. Wortlaut — wording — is the surface: the sentences, the cadence, the choice of words. Geist is the work’s spirit — its ideas, its argument, its shape. Beleg — the record — notes whether the work stands in the bibliographic world: findable, datable, identifiable. Dots in the upper rows count what the machine contributed; a half-stroke below means the record is still pending. An empty seal means the author wrote alone.

You set your own seal — the generator delivers it as SVG or PNG — and place it near the byline. To appear in the registry, send a short note — no fee, no review of your claim, only of its internal consistency. The longer story lives under the idea; the why under motivation.
