TheoryTrace Learning that keeps its trace
About Open library

Aksbel contribution attribution

Open a chapter. Leave a useful trace.

When you use TheoryTrace Brain tokens to generate an unwritten Aksbel chapter, your successful request makes that chapter available to everyone who studies the book after you. TheoryTrace recognizes you as its Chapter initiator, so the contribution that helped future scholars is not forgotten.

What your request changes

A chapter-generation request does more than produce a private answer. It extends a shared, coherent book that later readers can study, mark as read, test with Debunk Me, and deepen through connected explanations.

  1. 01
    You open an unwritten chapterTheoryTrace checks book order, available resources, and whether generation is already running.
  2. 02
    The chapter is completedThe contribution is recorded only after the generation succeeds. A failed request does not consume the attribution.
  3. 03
    Your role becomes part of the recordYour name, the chapter, and the successful-generation time remain connected through the chapter record and version history.
  4. 04
    Future scholars can learn from itThe generated chapter stays in the public Aksbel book, so another reader does not need to spend tokens to generate the same chapter again.

The first successful requester receives the chapter-initiation credit. Duplicate clicks, retries, later regeneration, and failed jobs do not create duplicate credit or replace that person. If a school pool supplies the tokens, the person who made the successful request is still the Chapter initiator while the school resource use remains in the token ledger.

Every kind of help keeps its proper name

TheoryTrace separates initiation, editing, correction, and verification so recognition is generous without becoming vague. A person may hold several roles in the same book.

Book initiator Proposes the learning objective that begins a complete Aksbel book. Recorded once per book
Chapter initiator Uses an eligible token resource to make one previously unwritten chapter available. Recorded once per successful chapter
Editor or corrector Makes a substantive improvement. The earlier text remains preserved and the improvement becomes a new attributed version. Recorded per accepted change
Verifier Reviews a particular version and records an attributable verification judgement. Recorded for the exact version

Chapter initiators appear in the book's copyright contribution statement, contributor directory, public TheoryTrace profile, generation-version note, and citation metadata.

Chapter initiation alone is identified as Chapter initiator in citation notes. The BibTeX author field remains reserved for recorded authorship-level work such as substantive editing, an applied correction, or verification under the current attribution rules.
