The substrate coordinate for autonomous systems that track and report their own decision provenance.

When an AI agent accounts for its own outputs — which model, which data, which choice — that is self-attribution: the foundational act of machine accountability.

Why this is canonical

'Self-attribution' names a specific and emerging requirement in the AI accountability stack: the capacity of an AI system to generate its own provenance record, authorship signal, or decision trace without external instrumentation. As AI output proliferates, the question of what generated a result — and whether the system itself can surface that — becomes critical infrastructure for trust, compliance, and audit.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

AI governance / compliance
Self-attribution as a compliance primitive — systems that certify their own outputs for regulatory audit trails in regulated industries.
AI governance platforms, compliance tech, regulated-sector AI deployers
Model provenance / watermarking
Technical infrastructure for AI-generated content that carries its own authorship signal — watermarking, fingerprinting, or provenance logging at the model level.
AI safety infrastructure, content provenance, media authentication
