A marked journal
Once a paper is public its provenance comes apart: crawlers strip the byline, attribution is a courtesy nobody owes, and “they trained on this” is a hunch you can’t prove. Mark the work on the way in and the trail holds — who read it, what derives from it, what that reuse is worth. Crediting the source stops being a tax and becomes a receipt the next author wants.
The green track
Compliance costs one call. Declare what your work builds on; you get a signed certificate and a priority timestamp, and upstream the author reads the reuse as credit, not theft. The cheaper path is the honest one.
The red track
Defection leaves a trail. The marks, the access log, and a likelihood-ratio protocol turn “they copied me” from a hunch into a number you can defend — and the arithmetic is built to fail closed, never to reach. Provable, or private.

We study a one-dimensional gas of $N$ Brownian particles that diffuse independently, but are {\it simultaneously} reset to the origin at a constant rate $r$. The system approaches a non-equilibrium st…
