Brief pack — influences.sgit.ai
Version v0.33.62 · 25 August 2026 · CC BY 4.0
The commission pack for influences.sgit.ai — the provenance layer of the sgit.ai memory network: the people, works, topics and things that shaped the founder's thinking, each written to the register format (anchor → founder's words → principle → trace table → gaps as build specs → checklist → wider library), with influence treated as a falsifiable claim about the codebase.

Tier accounting
At mining time: 12 TRACED / 7 STATED / 5 DISCOVERED (the prose in 00__/02__ uses these). The seed JSON records the current state: discovered entries with sufficient corpus evidence sit at TRACED with a discovered: true origin flag (Luhmann, Csikszentmihalyi, and — founder-confirmed 2026-08-25 — Design/Steve Jobs plus its nested design canon): 15 traced / 7 stated / 3 discovered-pending across 25 entries.
