What becomes legible when provenance remains connected across an entire market system?
AMMI asks: What happens if the whole story travels?
Opening problem
A product never arrives in a market alone.
It carries a place.
A history.
Knowledge.
Memory.
Methods of production.
Relationships.
Meaning.
But markets are very good at separating the thing being sold from the context that made it valuable.
Starting source
Culture, memory and context remain connected to provenance.
Q_P = (C_P, Π_P)
Culture / memory / contextual field + Provenance structure.
These must remain connected but not collapsed into one concept.
Starting model
Five hypothesised relations, each treated independently.
Do not collapse culture/context, provenance, legibility, interaction, interpretation, perceived value, or price.
Provenance to legibility: If provenance becomes legible, does anyone interact differently?
Legibility to consumer interaction: If they interact differently, do they interpret the product differently?
Interaction to interpretation: Does interaction alter interpretation?
Interpretation to perceived value: Does interpretation alter perceived value?
Perceived value to price response: Does perceived value affect price response?
Validation questions
Where does context matter? Where doesn't it?
- If provenance becomes legible, does anyone interact differently?
- If they interact differently, do they interpret the product differently?
- Does interpretation alter perceived value?
- Does perceived value affect price response?
- Where does context matter?
- Where doesn't it?
Validation field
Comparative contexts, not one linear supply chain.
Your research
The Fellow traces what can remain connected across market contexts.
Do not claim that storytelling increases price. Do not equate value with price.
Proficiency
Independent Master's-level research proficiency or demonstrated equivalent.
Doctoral research experience may be useful but is not the sole route.
12 months
3 validation environments
4 mathematical validation pathways
1 lateral validation pathway

Credentials are evidence, not the sole gate. The proficiency threshold remains the same; the evidence route differs.
