A pre-deposit MPAI classifier-correction packet restating **Erasure Skew (Ω)** as a power metric rather than a demographic metric. Ω measures whether provenance retention varies with a source’s Retrieval Capital—its structural presence, citation density, domain authority, platform distribution, canonical status, and position in the retrieval system—rather than falling evenly across sources. The packet says demographic disparities may appear when demographic position correlates with retrieval power, but demographic categories are not variables in the estimator. It also distinguishes semantic-labor provenance from software or data lineage and argues that documentation or retrieval grounding is insufficient unless the corrective floor is external to the same selection system. A proposed feedback relation between provenance erasure and diversity contraction is explicitly offered for testing. Creator metadata remains unconfirmed in the body.
