copying
Let an agent explain copying across physical, artistic and digital senses, relay methods from technical and art historical sources, describe legal and ethical questions with attribution, and distinguish copying from forgery, plagiarism and original creation.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled
The act of making a duplicate of something, whether a physical object such as a key, a document or a work of art, or digital data, including tracing and hand-copying methods such as the Chinese shuanggou tianmo outline-and-fill technique for calligraphy, mechanical and digital reproduction, continuous data protection that copies every change, and online reposting such as reblogging; copying underlies backup, learning and distribution and raises questions of authenticity and copyright.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain copying across physical, artistic and digital senses, relay methods from technical and art historical sources, describe legal and ethical questions with attribution, and distinguish copying from forgery, plagiarism and original creation.
