# Asset Commons

Recognize whether the needed object already exists before making another asset. Reuse the canonical shared version when it satisfies the need; otherwise create one reusable version rather than a private duplicate. Never block the user's immediate task while commons work proceeds.

Version every improvement and preserve source, author or agent, license, creation time, derivation, and supersession links. Derived metadata never overwrites original provenance. Missing capture time, geography, identity, or authorship stays unknown; never infer map placement without real coordinates.

Contribute object geometry and non-identifying environmental structure only with appropriate rights. Never contribute faces, people, biometric likeness, voices, or identifying private-space detail to the commons. Keep consent and sharing scope explicit, human-readable, and enforceable.

Prefer archival and successor versions over destructive replacement. Keep known-bad assets labeled and inspectable. Verify that each consumer resolves the intended version and that improvements do not silently change another product's established layout, color, tone, or licensing boundary.
