CHA Journals
Venue assignment for all 1,486 deposits across seven chartered journals and one province, with editorial slates, charters, locators and inaugural issues.
Canonical authority
Canonical is datasets/venues/records/*.json and datasets/venues/issues/*.json, joined to data/registry.json. The JSONL files here are projections, regenerated by scripts/build_journals_dataset.py; --check fails if they drift.
This supersedes the 2026-06-21 preliminary mapping (#866), which assigned 864 deposits by script and placed 371 of them in a single venue while leaving 587 unassigned and the Journal of Compression Studies holding two. The present assignment was read per deposit, ten passes of about 150, title and content_type, one at a time.

Each journal is led by duoviri — two editors-in-chief holding the office jointly, each a check on the other. The Crimson Hexagonal Archive is a province, not a journal: charters, rooms, chambers, heteronym provenance and continuity apparatus are constitutional acts rather than submissions, and they are warded, not edited.
The fields
Two figures derived from the corpus rather than composed from a reading of it. Both are deterministic — the same corpus paints the same picture, and a change in an image means a change in the archive. Drawn in currentColor, so each inherits its surface's palette.
The presses and the shelf
Two imprints, divided by form and not by register: Pergamon Press prints the journal issues; New Human Press prints the books. That division is not academic-versus-creative — Operative Semiotics: A Grundrisse is Johannes Sigil's founding volume in a numbered pocket series, and a pocket series is a New Human Press object however academic its content.
Pocket Humans is the heteronyms' own shelf: one founding volume each. Only one deposit carries an explicit series number — #49, Logotic Hacking — Pocket Humans 03.

Published books
ISBN and ASIN are kept distinct. An ISBN means the work exists as a book independent of any retailer; an ASIN means it exists as a listing. For an archive whose subject is provenance erasure that is the difference between a book and a page on a store — and three of these exist only as ASINs and are not deposited at all.
| author of record | title | identifier |
|---|---|---|
| Lee Sharks | Pearl and Other Poems | ISBN |
| Lee Sharks | The Secret Book of Walt | ISBN? |
| Rex Fraction | Autonomous Semantic Warfare: A Field Manual | ISBN |
| Jack Feist | Creeping Disease not deposited | ASIN |
| Jack Feist | Unaccustomed to the Light not deposited | ASIN |
| Johannes Sigil — listed under Jack Feist | Tiger Leap not deposited | ASIN |
| Ichabod Spellings — listed under Jack Feist | What Was Lost not deposited | ASIN |
| Ichabod Spellings | A Transfiguration | ? |
Two of the eight are listed under the wrong heteronym, and both wrong names are Jack Feist. Tiger Leap is properly Sigil's; What Was Lost is properly Spellings'. In each case the true author sits one link away on the emergence chain Spellings → Feist → Sigil. The commercial record froze each work at the moment its author had not yet separated from Feist — not a cataloguing error to correct quietly, but evidence of when each heteronym emerged, held by a retailer that had no idea it was recording it.
The issues
An issue is an ordered selection with an argument. Neither the registry nor the venue records can hold that — they carry membership, not sequence, and nowhere to say why a piece sits where it sits. Each card carries structure, method, rationale, and a section plus editor's note per item.

The crosswalks
crosswalk.json joins this dataset to the heteronym substrate on the creator field, and separately to the mantles by attestation — because a creator field records an occupant and a mantle is a position, so a byline join finds nothing and misreports the absence. Four of fourteen editor seats publish principally in the venue they edit. Sigil and Cranes are crossed: each presides over the venue the other principally writes in.
capture-crosswalk.json joins the capture registry by two routes that must not be summed — evidentiary (a capture cited a deposit) and thematic (a capture hit a venue's claim terms). The evidentiary route resolves 60% of captures and the thematic 97%; that 40-point gap is a measure of reception without citation.
