What was recorded, what was built, and what you are owed.

Everything held under your name, session by session.

A session is one recording with its own identifier and its own signature, so it counts itself. Your record is the run of them, from the first press of start, and everything that happened to each one afterwards.

What was recorded

Every session made under your name, one by oneThe day, the machine, who was in the seat, and the agreement that covered you at the moment the recording was made

What was admitted, and what was refused

Each session's answer from the written procedure, with the reason namedEvery reason is about equipment or paperwork, and a refused session is kept with its reason rather than thrown away

What was built from it

Which of your sessions went into a built thing, and which built thingA named way of working, for the family of machine it was taught on. Nothing of yours goes into one with another person's work unless you said yes to that, separately

Where it is listed

The listing in the repository that carries your nameFound by an owner by the family of machine and licensed by name, and whether it is in service, ended, or withdrawn

The hours it has worked

Written from the choice that cleared each job, session by sessionWith the name of the person who chose, so every hour has a name beside it

What you are owed

For those hours, as they are writtenAt the rate the covenant carries, and nowhere else. Paid weekly, by electronic transfer, with a statement to your address every time

If you have withdrawn

The day your withdrawal took effectAnd the true date every copy is gone, backups included

Read from the register's end the same record is the Source Statement, which is the Source's own record read from their own end, and it answers eleven things about your number and about nobody else's: what was captured, and the records the entry was made from; the edition, and which frozen version is current; who administers the rights, and under which agreement; which licence kinds are offered and which are not; who holds a licence, by the name on the licence; the count, read from both ends; the receipts, one sealed row per use; what is owed, worked out from closed periods; what was made from it, in derived editions, composites and Sets; any challenge, recorded and never removed; and the withdrawal rule for each kind, one rule per licence kind. Every one of them is a read of the record itself rather than a document issued once, nothing on it is a figure and nothing on it is a score, and the register sets it out on its own page at tacittessera.com/bring-your-records. It ends where this page ends: your agreement is with Even Steven.

One record, read from your end

The count you see is the record that cleared the work.

There is no second ledger kept somewhere else to reconcile it against, because the record is the ledger. The name of the person who cleared each job and the hours counted under it are written in the same place at the same moment, and it is the same record that opens when you open yours.

So you are never asked to take a total on trust. Every hour on it can be followed back to a session with a signature, a job with a name on the choice, and a listing with your name on it.

Check it, ask for the accounting, say no to a use, or end it.

A record you can only look at is a statement. This one is where your rights under the covenant are used, and each of them is an act with your name on it.

1. 01
   Check the countYou see the hours it worked and what you are owed, and you can check both against the record that shows who cleared the work. Every hour has a session under it and a name beside it. If an hour has neither, it should not be there, and you can say so.
2. 02
   Ask for an accountingThe count is kept in one record that both sides read, so you get an accounting and a right to audit it. Ask for it and it is owed to you, session by session.
3. 03
   Say no to a useIf what worries you is AI learning what you know without your say, this is where it is answered. Consent comes apart. To be recorded at all, to be combined with others, to run under your name, and to be used to train a model are separate agreements. Each is given on its own and withdrawn on its own, so you can say yes to one and no to another, and the no is honoured without emptying anything else. A record used to train a model is a different thing from a record used to run a machine, and it gets a different yes. No agreement to anything else ever covers it. The fourth yes is asked for on its own paper, in plain words, and never folded into another, and what it pays goes on the covenant before anybody is asked for it.
4. 04
   WithdrawGive notice and nothing new starts under it. A job already underway finishes, and its hours are paid like any other. Nothing is charged for leaving and nothing already paid is clawed back. Then we tell you the true date every copy is gone, and your record shows the day it took effect.
