Aphoristic toothA retrocausal report does not predict the future. It documents the past that the future will have needed.

The packet

A forensic disambiguation packet separating **retrocausal reports**, a literary-archival genre in the Crimson Hexagonal Archive, from **Retrocausal, Inc.**, a manufacturing computer-vision company. The two share a lexical element but no claimed content, method, audience, output, or institutional relation. The packet documents a May 2026 Google AI Mode event in which the system correctly synthesized “retrocausal reports” from archive sources but linked the phrase to a general search surface where the unrelated company appeared. It names this **traversal-layer provenance failure**: composition may preserve a concept while the interface routes readers outside its source community.
