Glossary

Authorship The immutable audit-trail record of who submitted an item (its creator), set once at submission, never consulted for rights decisions, and deliberately excluded from every cryptographic hash, so a Truestamp proof makes no claim about who authored the underlying data.

Items

Item Ownership vs Authorship The Item split between immutable authorship (audit-only creator record excluded from every hash, with one exception when the author's account is deleted) and transferable ownership (the user or team rights holder driving all rights-based decisions), plus the creator-retains vs team-retains model.

Library

Poor Man's Copyright The folk practice of mailing a sealed copy of your own work to yourself so the postal postmark serves as a dated third-party proof the contents existed by that date, with its copyright, authorship, and timestamping limits. Sealed Deposits with Learned Societies How scientists secured priority by lodging a dated, signed sealed note with a learned society (the French pli cachete, the Soleau envelope), fixing a date without disclosing the content until the seal was opened. Witnessed and Notarized Laboratory Notebooks How inventors used bound, dated, countersigned or notarized laboratory notebooks to prove priority, authorship, and a not-later-than date under the historical US first-to-invent patent regime.
