An AXN is a file identifier computed from the file itself — a fingerprint plus a memorable six-symbol check. Anyone can verify it, anywhere, forever, without asking us. If an account gets deleted or a site goes dark, the identifier still proves your file is your file.
Its fingerprint is computed in your browser — the file's exact bytes, nothing altered, and nothing leaves your device for the computation.
A small band on an added margin carries the identifier; the original bytes stay untouched and separately identified.
The identifier gets a position in a public, exportable registry — and a verification page anyone can check.
Computing identifiers, stamping files, looking them up, and verifying them is free, permanently. The registry is public and downloadable. Registry positions are never sold. Paid services buy human help around identifiers — never the identifier itself.
Identity ≠ authorship. It proves a file, not who made it; authorship statements are recorded as declarations and marked as such.
Witnessing ≠ notarization. Timestamps prove when a file was witnessed, not created; nothing here is legal advice.
A registry entry ≠ perpetual hosting. Storage terms are always explicit.
You send one PDF. Within a stated turnaround you receive it back stamped and registered, with the original sealed and stored, a plain-English provenance receipt describing exactly what was witnessed and when, and a public verification link.

Identifiers stay valid, because they're computed from your file — not granted by us.
The registry lives in public version control with full history, and if this service ever ends, the whole archive is offered for download during a stated wind-down. The constitution spells it out.
Errors are corrected by amendment and tombstone — never by silent deletion. A retired position keeps resolving; a withdrawn work is marked, not erased. The registry's history is itself part of the registry.
