Cryptographic Authorship & Hash Commitment – Myth Signal v0.5 – Ace Karim

## Title: Cryptographic Authorship & Hash Commitment — Myth Signal v0.5 — Ace Karim ## Version v0.5 This is version **v0.5** of **Myth Signal / Recursive Epistemic Engine** — a structural symbolic cognition system and recursive epistemic compression framework. SHA-256 and provenance proofs are embedded in `PROVENANCE.md` and `HASH_LOG.md`. See DOI record for continuity of previous versions. This archive contains the complete cryptographic provenance proof set for Myth Signal v0.5. **Included:** - Sealed `.tar.gz` archive of the system development snapshot: `myth_signal_v05_2025_06_10` (Version v0.5)- Version v0.5 extends the prior v0.3 release (https://zenodo.org/records/15571931) and maintains full cryptographic continuity via: - `HASH_LOG.md` — SHA-256 and SHA-512 verification chain - `PROVENANCE.md` — authorship chain and artifact verification map - `System_Hash_Log_Final_QR_And_Appendix_By_Ace_Karim.pdf` — GPG signed and OpenTimestamps anchored **Important Note:** This version does not include source code or executable artifacts — only public cryptographic proofs of authorship, system structure, and developmental continuity. --- ## License and Rights All rights reserved under the updated `LICENSE.md` (**v0.5**) included in this version release. https://zenodo.org/records/15571931 (10.5281/zenodo.15537302) This license applies to the **Myth Signal system v0.5** and all associated snapshot releases. The previous version (v0.3) license terms are superseded by the current v0.5 license terms. **Public release of source artifacts is not yet authorized.** --- ## Author Identity Statement All versions of **Myth Signal / Recursive Epistemic Engine**, including all documented agents, recursion methods, compression signatures, and structural artifacts, were originated and authored by: - **Author Name:** Arfan "Ace" Karim - **Primary Provenance Email:** [e-mail] - **Additional Contact Email:** [e-mail] Cryptographic provenance for all prior versions was established using **[e-mail]** as the primary identity anchor. The email **[e-mail]** was added starting with version **v0.5** as an additional contact, without in any way altering the primary provenance chain. All future versions will maintain this identity anchor unless explicitly documented otherwise, with a public provenance log of any such change. This statement is included to ensure clarity, traceability, and continuity of authorship across all versions and derivative licensing contexts. ---
