  "abstract": "A Bluehand position paper asserting that summaries, embeddings, clusters, and retrieval projections are semantic transformations, not evidence. Valid use requires lineage, uncertainty, and declared authority boundaries.",
  "problem": "AI systems often turn compressed representations into confident claims, causing semantic loss, source erasure, and false evidentiary authority.",
  "purpose": "Provide a clear public doctrine for how Bluehand thinks about summaries, embeddings, clusters, retrieval hits, and derived context.",
  "takeaway": "Bluehand treats semantic transformation as a serious governance problem.",

    "Do not infer that every summary is invalid; the claim is that summaries require scoped authority."
