## Distribution layers

### Layer 1 — GitHub
Versioned source and publication history.

### Layer 2 — Public Internet mirrors
Independent static mirrors and lawful archival copies may reproduce this repository. Mirror URLs are recorded here only when they actually exist.

### Layer 3 — Distributed storage
IPFS can provide an additional content-addressed copy when an authorized pinning or hosting service is available. No CID is claimed until one is actually recorded.

### Layer 4 — Tor / onion mirror
A lawful `.onion` mirror can provide an additional independent access path. No onion address is claimed until an authorized host is actually deployed.

## Integrity rule

Every mirror should preserve the project identity, date/version, source links and privacy boundary. Do not fabricate mirror URLs, CIDs, onion addresses, press coverage or institutional partnerships.

## Redundancy principle

The objective is resilient public availability, not a claim of literal deletion-proof permanence. Redundancy, version history, independent mirrors and content-addressed copies reduce single points of failure.

## Social identity

Confirmed public profile:

- Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/achimmentzen.bsky.social

Additional profiles are added only when their exact public URLs are verified.

## Image policy

A portrait or project image may be added after the artist explicitly supplies or identifies the image for project use. Private social-media images are not copied automatically.

## Publication log

Every actual external publication should be recorded with date, platform, public URL, version or commit, and a short description.

## Non-deletion commitment

This project is maintained additively. New versions, corrections and superseded documents should remain recoverable through Git history whenever technically possible. No workflow can guarantee that GitHub or another third party will never remove or restrict content.
