📖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.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Derived
Authored is judgment that must be maintained; derived is computation that maintains itself.
