📖What it means

Written by a person, and therefore carrying judgment a machine could not supply — and an upkeep obligation a derived value would not. Where both exist for the same thing, the authored one is never silently overwritten by a derived one.

📖Easily confused with

[{"term": "Derived", "distinction": "Authored is judgment that must be maintained; derived is computation that maintains itself."}]

📖Also called

- hand-written
- human-written
