The Provenance Horizon

Traces a C2PA-signed image through four distribution scenarios — professional newsroom, social media, adversarial forgery, privacy exposure — and shows where the provenance chain holds, breaks, or is forged. The four chains are rendered identically in form; the status of each node reveals the argument: the tool provides the strongest guarantee in the scenarios where provenance is least in question.

This work ships as an interactive instrument, not a text — it has no README to mirror. Use it live in the lab (link above); its data and metadata live in the original repository.
