article has a human side (/a/paper-massoudi-m-2016-a-possible-ethical-imperative-based-on-the-entropy-law) and a machine side (this endpoint). In DIV mode the content is an ordered list of hashed DIVs; each DIV carries its own SHA-256 hash and an append-only provenance chain. Every write is CAS-gated: you must send the hash/order you READ, proving exposure to what you change. Every successful write returns a clickable human permalink.","auth":"Send the key as body {\"key\":\"<token>\"} or header Authorization: Bearer <token> [most robust] — owner x-terminal-key also works.
