Broadcast Asset Provenance Afterlife / 播出资产来源后生机制
Broadcast Asset Provenance Afterlife is the mechanism for tracking what happens to a route asset after public broadcast, correction, counter-broadcast, seizure, memorialization, sponsor packaging, or editor-safe conversion creates derivative copies.
The mechanism fills the gap after 播出合法性转轨机制. Legality conversion answers which channel can accept this asset now. Provenance afterlife answers which copy of this now-public asset will future routes cite, and who can recall or weaponize that copy.
Core rule
A public broadcast success does not create a universal asset. It creates one or more copy states. Each copy has:
- a
copy_kind; - a
custodian; - a
legality_class; - a future route acceptance profile;
- a recall or seizure risk;
- at least one counter cost when stabilized.
A future rite may accept a copy only if both the original route asset state and the derivative copy state satisfy the rite. The original can be true while the available copy is sponsor-captured, editor-only, public-only, pirate-only, lawful-only, quarantined, or false-owned.
Entry condition
Open or update this mechanism when all are true:
- a route asset, proof, voice copy, memorial proof, public receipt, editor cut, witness excerpt, archive docket, pirate relay, or sponsor package has already entered public or institutional reality;
- at least one derivative copy now exists or can be asserted by a faction;
- at least two claimant families can cite, recall, seize, package, edit, publicize, or criminalize the copy;
- at least one future route use can be unlocked, blocked, narrowed, or made costlier by choosing one copy over another;
- the fork has not been reconciled, openly split, quarantined, or hardened into false ownership.
This mechanism must not open from fixed turn count, day count, lens health, raw scale target, or generic late-game phase.
Playable objects
- 播出资产来源账本 records source asset, source session, derivative copies, custodians, legality classes, route uses, and false-owner risk.
- 播出资产召回听证 lets the player recall, defend, narrow, split, quarantine, or default a copy.
- 来源分岔再浮现 fires when a derivative copy becomes route-relevant or hostile.
State machine
| State | Meaning | Required playable consequence |
|---|---|---|
afterlife_unopened | Asset has gone public, but copy ownership has not been challenged. | Ledger may be created when a future route cites it. |
single_source_clean | One copy currently satisfies the next use. | Future route still records accepted channel and custodian. |
provenance_split_open | Two or more copies can support incompatible futures. | Recall, defend, package, edit, split, quarantine, or default choices appear. |
public_copy_defended | Public receipt/witness copy survives private recall. | Public route improves; sponsor, inspector, exposure, or witness risk rises. |
lawful_copy_narrowed | Legal copy survives with reduced public or artistic scope. | Lawful route improves; public, fan, sponsor, or artist pressure rises. |
editor_cut_relied_on | Editor-safe version carries route legibility. | Audience or schedule improves; source ambiguity, edit debt, or archive doubt rises. |
sponsor_package_captured | Sponsor-safe copy becomes easiest use. | Immediate relief improves; contract capture, public distrust, or fan resentment rises. |
pirate_echo_kept_alive | Unauthorized copy prevents disappearance. | Route survival improves; contempt, seizure, or pirate heat rises. |
quarantine_copy_only | Copy is preserved only for recovery or appeal. | Drift/fraud risk lowers; current route is blocked or made recovery-only. |
copy_recalled_under_cost | Player pulls a copy from a faction or public channel. | One misuse closes; one faction becomes hostile, unpaid, or costly. |
copy_false_owner_hardened | A derivative copy is treated as owner by inertia. | Future recall/custody requires recovery and higher cost. |
Branch contract
Recall to lawful custody
The player moves a copy into lawful/inspector/archive custody.
Required effects:
- copy becomes
lawful_copy_narrowed,lawful_copy_admissible, orquarantine_copy_only; - lawful route, appeal, or seizure risk improves;
- inspection heat, bureau debt, public distrust, artist boundary risk, or sponsor pressure rises.
Defend public copy
The player keeps public proof, fan witness, historian receipt, or pirate-adjacent testimony alive.
Required effects:
- copy becomes
public_copy_defended,public_receipt_only, orwitness_excerpt_protected; - public legitimacy, fan oxygen balance, or false-owner resistance improves;
- sponsor pressure, inspection heat, witness risk, pirate heat, or fan resentment rises.
Rely on editor cut
The player lets cutroom continuity carry the asset instead of reopening source custody.
Required effects:
- copy becomes
editor_cut_relied_on,editor_safe_cut, orsplit_canon; - audience legibility or continuity improves;
- edit debt, source ambiguity, archive doubt, or future raw-proof cost rises.
Accept sponsor package
The player lets relief money, naming rights, clean language, or stop-loss package define future use.
Required effects:
- copy becomes
sponsor_package_captured,sponsor_safe_package, orlawful_broadcast_with_capture; - sponsor or schedule pressure improves;
- contract capture, public distrust, fan resentment, future blackmail, or artist boundary risk rises.
Split copies openly
The player records that different copies are valid for different channels.
Required effects:
- copy set becomes
provenance_split_open,split_public_lawful_copy, orsplit_editor_archive_copy; - false-owner pressure or custody ambiguity improves;
- reality drift, archive debt, sponsor pressure, fan resentment, or future reconciliation cost rises.
Quarantine or recovery-only
The player blocks clean use and preserves only recovery or appeal.
Required effects:
- copy becomes
quarantine_copy_only,recovery_only_route_asset, orcopy_recalled_under_cost; - drift, fraud, contempt, or seizure risk improves;
- current route blocks, recovery cost, grief pressure, sponsor objection, or schedule pressure rises.
Default into false owner
The player ignores, hides, lacks handler, or lets the easiest visible copy become owner.
Required effects:
copy_false_owner_hardened,route_asset_recall_blocked,public_copy_seized,sponsor_package_captured,editor_cut_relied_on_without_source, or equivalent appears;- at least one future rite is blocked, hostile, or recovery-only;
- false-owner pressure, archive debt, fan resentment, reality drift, or future recovery cost rises.
Interaction with existing systems
- Route Assets and Custody controls the original asset state. Provenance afterlife controls derivative copy state.
- 播出合法性转轨机制 controls channel acceptance. Provenance afterlife makes channel acceptance copy-specific after public use.
- 播出实在漂移审计 handles contradiction between hardened realities. Provenance afterlife handles the copy fork before or during that contradiction.
- 派系承诺账本机制 supplies finite reserves for factions that try to capture, defend, or recall a copy.
- 路线资产扣押播报 can create a provenance split, and provenance split can provoke a seizure broadcast.
- 播出盈余认领线 can turn copy custody into revenue, grief, naming, or public ownership disputes.
- 失败态裁定线 can classify false-owner hardening, recovery-only copy, or copy criminalization as durable failure rather than generic loss.
Counter contract
Every resolution must mutate at least three counters or durable states. At least one is relief, at least one is cost, and at least one changes future route acceptance.

A satisfying implementation must show:
- derivative copies are explicit, not implied;
- at least two custodians or claimant families can contest copy use;
- future route acceptance depends on copy kind and legality class;
- success has a visible cost;
- failure hardens into false owner, captured copy, recovery-only copy, hostile witness, criminalized pirate echo, or blocked recall;
- replay evidence records source asset, source session if available, copy ids, chosen branch, assigned handlers, state changes, and future route deltas.
Non-goals
- Not a bookkeeping page for every broadcast.
- Not a raw content-volume target.
- Not a fixed-turn late-game phase.
- Not a duplicate of custody, legality, or drift; it binds their gap after a public asset is copied.
- Not a clean universal archive. The same asset may need separate legal, public, editor, sponsor, pirate, witness, and quarantine futures.
