Crimson Hexagonal Archive — Entity Nodes / Canon Layer Lee Sharks — minting authority (MANUS)

Minted per the provenancing protocol of The Secret Name (EA-ARMATURE-01, 10.5281/zenodo.19666445) against the registry of record, The New Human Standing Canon v0.3 (EA-NHC-STAND-01, 10.5281/zenodo.20543590), at operator instruction, 2026-06-10. The registry's entity-relation data is imported, not invented; the node's canon-status line states the registry's declared level exactly.

Canon status: Inducted October 8, 2025, by effective act; Role: Living Tongue of New Human (with the melic tradition inducted whole, Sappho the load-bearing exemplar).

Position class: Retrospectively canonized (EA-ARMATURE-01 §V) — she is the armature's own named exemplar of the class: a position surviving through fragments

Operative function (per the registry): Substrate of the lyric register; foundational figure of preservation-across-fragmentation — the registry's reading: her fragmentation is not loss but the mode in which the work persists across substrate change.

Textual ground: The surviving fragments (Voigt edition standard); the Brothers Poem (recovered 2014) and subsequent papyrus recoveries, canonical-by-future-recovery per the induction; Fragment 31 as the origin point of lyric self-archiving (10.5281/zenodo.18202475, fixed cross-link).

Entity relations: Per the registry: successors — Whitman (lyric first person), Dickinson (fragmentary preservation form), the Platonic Lineage (Sappho as Initiatory Figure); peers — Homer. In the archive's irony doctrine her broken tongue (γλῶσσα ἔαγε, Fr. 31) is the lineage of the empty bracket.

Hex address: 06.LIT.CANON.SAPPHO.01 (provisional; ⟡ MANUS to confirm)

Cross-links. Fixed: the registry (10.5281/zenodo.20543590); the armature (10.5281/zenodo.19666445); 10.5281/zenodo.18202475. Sampled — pool curated for appropriateness, selection randomized per operator instruction (seed 1515172716, the 2015 New Human ISBN): 10.5281/zenodo.20413317; 10.5281/zenodo.18730291; 10.5281/zenodo.18729606.

Extra-archive: Wikidata Q17892 (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q17892). Recorded at minting: the bare string "Sappho" resolved on the Wikidata search surface to Q15106192, a genus of hummingbirds, above the poet — a live entity-collision specimen of exactly the class this archive measures; this node pins Q17892 (verified: "ancient Greek poet from Lesbos").

Disambiguation conditions: This node is the archive's canon routing position for Sappho — the figure as inducted, declared, or contained within the New Human Standing Canon — not a substitute for the biographical or philological record, which it cites and does not replace.## Registry
