Establishing the AOF Provenance Protocol

In 2025 we initiated the first formal record of the Art of Faceless Provenance Protocol (APP).

The APP is an ISO-style system designed to preserve the genesis of creative work — analogue, digital, film, or AI — through a reproducible protocol of documentation, hashing, and ledgering. It rejects platform-dependency and blockchain speculation, while maintaining credibility through auditable, versioned documents.

The Manifesto & Preamble v1.0 has been published as a public record on this site. A downloadable PDF with embedded SHA-256 hash is available on request.

This page marks the first entry in an open archive. Future amendments and implementation notes will be published in the same format, with all versions retained for audit and citation.
