The accountability engine · SOURCE / POWER / PATH
The Triple Lens
Three questions asked of every object in this portfolio: where did this come from, who holds the power here, and what happens next. Nothing on this page calls a language model. The engine reads records that exist, shows you the query it ran, and refuses when there is nothing on record.
SOURCE
Where did this come from?
Who made it, whether a person or a machine made it, and how complete the record is. Tiers run S1 (primary document) to S6 (unverified).
POWER
Who holds the power here?
The creator's share, who controls access, the audit right, the term length, the cost to leave, and what the other side may do with the work.
PATH
What happens next?
The one next action, how long it takes, whether it can be undone, and what doing it forecloses.
The refusal principle
“NO RECORD — refused” is an answer
A refusal is a correct result, not a failure. When the engine has no record, it says so and stops — it does not estimate, infer, or hand the question to a model that would answer confidently anyway. Every refusal on this page still shows you the query that came back empty, so you can check the question was the right one.
Free text routes on keywords, deliberately, with no classifier in the path. A keyword router that misses is inspectable. A model that misroutes is not. The routing decision is printed with every answer.

Working lens query
Ask a lens about a real object
Nine specialty lenses, each with a fixed question and a fixed answer shape. Pick one, pick one of this site's real objects, and read the deterministic answer — plus the query that produced it. Several objects will legitimately refuse.
Or pick a lens
Nothing asked yet
Pick a lens and an object, then run it. Try “Read my receipt” on Venue B and then on Venue A: one has bad terms that were read, the other has no terms read at all, and the engine refuses to treat those as the same thing.
The query I ran
-- nothing has been asked yet
Parameters are bound, never concatenated. User input never reaches the query string.
The single most important behaviour
Absence is not zero
An absent revenue_share_to_creator is
NULL and renders “Not stated”. A real 0 renders “creator
keeps 0%”. Collapsing them would claim a creator keeps nothing when in fact nobody read the
contract.
| Record | Stored value | Rendered | What it actually means | The right next action |
|---|
[] is a statement
An empty derivative_claims: [] means the terms were read and
there are none. An absent one means nobody checked. The filter below keeps them apart, so “show me
things claiming no AI-training rights” never quietly includes unchecked things.
human_pledged = false
Renders as undeclared, never as false. “The creator did not take the pledge” is not “a machine made this”. Two objects here are undeclared for exactly that reason.
Severity is a max
Balance scores average over known components only, and severity is taken as a maximum — so one unread field can never dilute a five-year auto-renewing term into a decent-looking score.
Filter: derivative claims
Pick a filter to see how the three states stay separate.
The binding for this creator
Object types, the lenses they carry, and why
The why column is a human commitment, not a technical note. Two rules are enforced in the binding itself and cannot be overridden by a query.
| Object type | Carries | Why — written as a commitment |

Specialty lens library
The triads that apply to this creator
Drawn from the shared BB2G library. Each is a fixed triad with a rule attached — the rule is the part that stops the triad becoming decoration.
LENS-003 · Unsupported / Contested / Verified
Status follows evidence, not preference. Every spread on this site is contested because Giavanna Loya's grant is absent — and it stays contested however much anyone would prefer otherwise.
LENS-005 · Harm / Context / Protection
Never identify a child in analytical exports. Wild Passport therefore holds a nickname and an age band, and no location at all.
LENS-009 · Facts / Inferences / Questions
Never merge an inference into a fact. The ISBN record is a fact; “this means the rights are clear” would be an inference, and it is not one we make.
LENS-011 · Child / Parent / Professional
Age-appropriate, private and non-diagnostic. Animal Ally routes anything diagnostic to a professional instead of answering it.
LENS-012 · Creator / Audience / Market
Rights and consent override monetization. Venue B's terms are commercially workable and still refused, because they take control of the creator's materials.
LENS-008 · Urgent / Important / Watch
Urgency requires a named trigger. The only genuinely urgent item here is the contributor grant, and its trigger is named: any adaptation or narration would foreclose it.
Production truth for the Triple Lens
- This is a faithful vanilla-JS reproduction of the engine's behaviour over seeded records. There is no database behind it; the SQL shown is the query the engine would run, with bound parameters.
- No language model is called anywhere on this site, by this page or any other.
- The records are honest about themselves: one object is fully verified, several are contested, two are undeclared, and one venue has no readable term at all.
- Scores are arithmetic over the fields shown. Nothing is weighted invisibly, and every unread field is named rather than counted.
