Original and later Editions remain distinguishable.
A later release cannot inherit the original Edition identity or increase its published limited quantity.
Foundation / Edition Integrity
Edition integrity keeps a limited quantity fixed, gives every later release a distinct Edition identity, preserves the artist and genealogy, and corrects factual errors without silently changing history.
Reference only. No release, artist, Artwork, product, Edition, quantity, Edition Slot, garment unit, service-reserve unit, or correction is represented here.
Identity / quantity / history
Current evidence
The repository defines permanent invariants and authoritative service boundaries. It does not evidence an approved Edition, publish a quantity, create Edition Slots, enforce inventory, or activate a final legal policy.
A later release cannot inherit the original Edition identity or increase its published limited quantity.
No example number, scarcity claim, slot, unit, artist, Artwork, genealogy, or availability state is invented.
Eleven permanent commitments
These are public principles—not evidence that a release, quantity, or enforcement system is active.
A limited Edition has a fixed published quantity.
A limited Edition does not use hidden rarity.
A sold-out original Edition does not return as the same Edition.
A later release receives a new Edition identity.
A later unlimited release is labeled unlimited.
A later release does not increase the original quantity.
Service-reserve units create no extra public collector identities.
Only one active authentic unit may represent a limited Edition Slot.
Sold-out and discontinued releases remain archived.
Artist attribution remains.
Edition genealogy remains.
Identity is not a label
An Edition label is human-readable presentation. The permanent Edition identity is the stable historical reference, and a physical garment unit is a separate identity linked to it.
The original retains a stable record. A later release gets another identity even when the visible design appears similar.
A label can explain original, later limited, or unlimited, but it cannot merge or replace authoritative records.
A unit, secure tag, Edition Slot, and Ownership relationship remain separate and cannot grant one another authority.
Published quantity
The authoritative catalog and allocation systems—not this reference—must enforce quantity, capacity, holds, and unit relationships.
The total is explicit before an Edition may rely on limited status.
Later releases, replacements, reserve use, or presentation changes cannot raise the original ceiling.
Limited Editions do not add undisclosed rarity classes inside the published quantity.
An unlimited successor is a different Edition and does not inherit limited scarcity.
Edition Slot continuity
An Edition Slot is one permanent position within an approved limited quantity. Replacement and retirement require controlled lineage rather than duplicated collector identity.
Public presentation cannot establish or override that authoritative state.
Retirement does not erase lineage or free an extra collector identity.
It must not create another slot, another active representative, or a larger Edition.
Service reserve
Reserve, quality-control, damaged, failed, held, and unreceived inventory require distinct authoritative states. They cannot be silently treated as sellable capacity or additional collector identities.
Service reserve and unavailable inventory remain excluded unless an approved, auditable process changes operational state within the Edition ceiling.
Service activity may preserve an existing slot’s continuity, but cannot increase quantity or duplicate its active authentic representative.
Append-only correction
The current truth should become clear while the former value, reason, authority, and effective time remain in protected history.
Release pages, archive records, search, and approved public projections should agree after propagation.
Append-only history does not publish private identities, disputes, fraud signals, legal advice, or internal case files.
Public promise limits
This reference publishes, certifies, reserves, allocates, sells, or increases an Edition quantity.
This page creates an Edition, Edition Slot, product, unit, collector identity, or secure-tag relationship.
An integrity principle proves authenticity, Ownership, title, condition, availability, scarcity, or value.
A service-reserve explanation proves that a reserve unit exists or is eligible for fulfillment.
A later-Edition principle is an announcement, offer, restock, reissue, or manufacturing authorization.
Append-only correction means every protected fact or item of evidence becomes public.
Archive continuity overrides approved artist-rights, legal, attribution, privacy, or safety exceptions.
The final policy, enforcement authority, systems, records, or release activation exist here.
Readiness / July 2026
These labels describe repository readiness only and do not represent a final policy, catalog record, quantity, unit, or production service.
Product, artist, legal, accessibility, and policy approval remain required.
Approved scope, definitions, exceptions, version, and owner are required.
Authoritative catalog records, stable IDs, relationships, and audit history are required.
Approved quantity, capacity rules, concurrency controls, and reconciliation are required.
Unit lineage, retirement, replacement, token, and authenticity controls are required.
Inventory states, approval authority, audit, and customer-remedy rules are required.
Authority, reason codes, evidence, notice, propagation, appeal, and audit are required.
