The file that arrived without a future
Before anything can be preserved, it must be known exactly.
A file often begins its second life with almost nothing: a name that can be changed, an extension that can mislead, and a folder someone else may never understand. It may be precious, but the machine sees only bytes.
Upload is the first act of recognition. THORIUM reads the selected artifact locally, makes its visible facts inspectable, and computes the SHA-256 fingerprint that distinguishes these exact bytes from every altered copy. The person remains in control of the next step; the interface waits for an explicit acceptance before the journey continues.
The drama here is quiet but decisive. A future record cannot depend on “I think this is the right one.” It begins with an identity that can be checked again.
Recorded evidence: the demonstration artifact, its visible file facts, its browser-computed SHA-256, and the explicit acceptance gate. Viewing the film is observational; visitor files and transactions remain untouched.
