Handwriting, and what a machine can do with it
Three papers on making a handwritten artifact machine-eligible without dissolving it into text. A specification, a field survey of the literatures around it, and an operations paper on what the position is worth.
i · the specification
Machine-Eligible Handwritten Artifacts
v1.0 final form · edition of record 2026-07-21 · deposit #1409
What it takes for a photograph of a handwritten page to enter machine reception as evidence rather than as a transcription — capture, declaration, enrollment, and the distinction between origination and composition.
ii · the field survey
The Photograph of the Handwritten Original
v3.7 · deposit #1443
A discipline-by-discipline treatment of the adjacent literatures — papyrology and machine reading, handwritten text recognition, writer identification, archival authenticity, content provenance, persistent identifiers — each stated with what it establishes, what it assumes, and what it cannot do.
iii · the operations paper
The Analog Advance
v1.0 · Rex Fraction · deposit #1444
Taking the handwritten niche: the enrollment path, the eight deliverables, and what the position costs to hold. The specification says how; the survey says why; this says when, where, and in what order.
The archive is the authority. Each paper resolves to its deposit; the editions here follow. · SPXI
