The Generative Information Packet
A proposal for structural separation and embodied provenance in the post-Anthropogenic archive. The Generative Information Packet (GIP) is a proposed archival unit for records produced by large language models, parallel to the AIP of OAIS but structurally separated from records of human origin.

Generative AI can produce plausible biography only for lives that have already been documented. On the Input Gap, what large language models reconstruct from a life, what they cannot reach, and why the absence of a primary source is no longer a private loss but a public one.
