The Signal

AI-Assisted Research Content

What should we measure when a detector can estimate resemblance but cannot observe the research process, establish authorship, or decide whether an idea is new?

Primary Function

Authorship, provenance, and novelty

Volume XII examines what is lost when institutions use statistical resemblance to infer the authorship or value of AI-assisted research content. It separates surface similarity from provenance, authorship, novelty, evidence, and responsibility, then develops the Signal Protocol and a novelty ledger for evaluating work whose destination emerged through human-machine inquiry.

Read this volume from the page placed before a detector to a research culture that preserves its signal by evaluating provenance, novelty, reasoning, evidence, reproducibility, utility, and responsibility as distinct coordinates.
