Deterministic Origin

Every vessel begins from the same fixed instrument baseline, with its sigil, hash, and generated form tied to that origin.

Tea Substrate

Each vessel is issued with tea as its first inhabitant, carrying a physical composition alongside its artifacts, issuance record, and public control page.

Recorded State

Each published change extends the standing record for that vessel. What appears in the archive comes from that record.

Collected State

When a collector takes custody of a vessel, that collected passage is added to the archive record and remains part of its visible history.
