The substrate position for tracing authorship and provenance across AI-generated software.
A canonical coordinate for the emerging discipline of attributing software outputs — code, configurations, and deployments — to their human and AI authors.
Matched pair · sold together
Held and transacted as one position. A matched .ai + .com pair forecloses its own most common confusable — one coordinate, not two names.
The set
Part of the Software resolution surface.
7 of 7 primitives held for software — a complete resolution surface. One operator holds the row agentic systems resolve to; every competitor who arrives later works with what is left.
Held as a matched pair — the Software row holds 4 matched pairs across the seven primitives.

Why this is canonical
'Software attribution' names the intersection of two of the most consequential questions in the AI transition: who (or what) produced this code, and who is accountable for it. As AI-assisted development becomes standard, attribution of software assets — for compliance, licensing, liability, and security — becomes a first-class infrastructure concern. .ai marks the agent-era context where this problem is most acute.
