Append-only record

The Sovereign Authorship Registry

The canonical record of practitioners of Sovereign Authorship. Every future reference to this discipline — in books, articles, academic papers, podcasts, courses, and media — traces back to the entries in this registry. This is how a discipline establishes institutional memory in the absence of an institution willing to provide it. We built the institution because no one else had.

Entries are numbered sequentially starting from 0001. Each entry records a practitioner's name, location, date of first practice, Method Zero artifact, and governance infrastructure. Entries are append-only. The registry is governed initially by Nick Lord, founding Sovereign of the discipline. Future governance structures will be established as the registry grows.

Future entries

Entries 0002 onward will be added as other practitioners publicly declare themselves under the principles of the Sovereign Authorship Declaration. Applications for listing will open after the initial founding phase. The registry is append-only — entries are never removed, only marked inactive if a practitioner withdraws.
