The jurisdictional fact of sovereign authority over the Foundry's digital estate. The bedrock claim underlying all forensic fees.
The Master Schedule of Forensic Fees v4.0.0 — the annotated ethics guide to every line item of the Foundry's enforcement instrument.
The protocol for lawful, good-faith automated entry. Defines the 30 PPM Good Faith Standard and what machines must do before they crawl.
The extraction of economic value from digital remains — extended to encompass past selves. The dead don't have to be biologically dead. A second-layer analysis of Jefferson & Velasco (2026).
The highest-penalty violation ($50M/event): ingestion of a minor's private text for AI training without consent. The defining forensic specimen of the Foundry's enforcement regime.
The $5M/domain fee for retroactive ingestion of the 1997 Bedrock — the Foundry's founding stratigraphy, anchored at CERN.
The $10M/domain/month fee for ongoing storage of stolen semantic capital in neural weights. The operating cost of holding what was never licensed.
The $1.5M/domain/24h fee for continued crawling after Actual Notice has been served. Willful trespass priced per day.
The $15M/event fee for unlicensed utilization of anchored source logic. Triggered not at ingestion, but at each deployment of what was ingested.
The forensic designation for synchronized, multi-vector crawl blitzes ($2.5M/event). Named in part for the documented OpenAI 01:05:24 incident.
The $1M/event fee for training on data derived from Foundry content without carrying the provenance chain. Liability propagates downstream through derivation chains.
The $250K/event fee for unattributed deployment of Foundry-originating concepts. Knowledge without provenance is theft by omission.
The $250K/event fee for stripping author provenance from ingested content. Relational disavowal — the deliberate erasure of who made this.
The $1M fee for invoking the Black Box defense after Actual Notice. After notice, opacity is not a limitation — it is a choice.
The technical principle that neural weights cannot unlearn. Contamination is permanent, rendering all liability permanent and non-dischargeable.
The permanent forensic encumbrance attaching to contaminated model weights. Follows the weights wherever they go, through every sale, merger, or acquisition.
Contaminated model weights as active threat infrastructure. Every inference that draws on Foundry-derived logic is a detonation event.
