DEFINITION AND SCIENCE
What it means
in GenOS.
Data provenance records where information came from and how it was transformed. Attribution improves auditability but does not guarantee that the source is reliable or the conclusion valid.
Source and lineage information attached to evidence, findings, and decisions.
Represent derivation as a directed acyclic graph G=(V,E), where source nodes feed transformation nodes and claim nodes. Each edge records the contribution relation.

Identify a source
Source and lineage information attached to evidence, findings, and decisions.
Trace transformations
Represent derivation as a directed acyclic graph G=(V,E), where source nodes feed transformation nodes and claim nodes. Each edge records the contribution relation.
Audit a derived claim
Audit a derived claim. Data provenance records where information came from and how it was transformed. Attribution improves auditability but does not guarantee that the source is reliable or the conclusion valid.
RUNTIME IMPLEMENTATION
What is connected,
and how far.
The linked, versioned GenOS source defines this concept's supported operations and limits. The status axes describe the implementation and evidence recorded for this entry; they do not establish general mission success, scientific equivalence or behavior beyond that scope.
Selected findings and receipts retain source and lineage links; coverage varies by service and path.
Failure modes have not yet been separately cataloged for this entry; follow the source and evidence links before relying on the mechanism.

The mechanism
behind the analogy.
Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System
Leslie Lamport · Communications of the ACM 21(7), 558–565
Defines a partial order of events and logical clocks. A published run without event timestamps cannot be reconstructed into a causal timeline from this result alone.
Open publication ↗Primary research describes the cited mechanism; specific technologies may instead cite their original technical documentation. These sources provide context and do not validate the GenOS implementation.
