Provenance
The record of where something came from. In DH, the chain of custody of a source; in computing, which model produced which output.

In humanities practice, provenance tracks the chain of custody of a manuscript, edition, or archive. In a computational context, provenance tracks which model, which version, and which parameters produced each output. Both senses apply here, and they reinforce each other.
Why it matters for your research. A digital passage without source-document provenance is uncited; a digital passage without engine provenance cannot be reproduced or criticised. When you publish a claim backed by an analysis, the provenance chain is the audit trail that makes the claim defensible.
In Archēglyph. Provenance is load-bearing. Every extracted block shows the engine that produced it; every versioned snapshot is immutable. See Transparency is a feature and What a good provenance badge looks like.
Not to be confused with. “Citation” names the source; provenance names the process that produced the digital object from the source. Both matter.
