Claims policy
The House may invent worlds. It should not invent evidence. Provenance is the line between authorship, setting and fact.
House-created worlds
Some L’INCONNU cultural projects use fictional House Artists, constructed archives, imagined settings or other authored worlds. When they do, the project should be visibly framed so that artistic fiction is not mistaken for independent historical fact.
Historical claims
Dates, places, exhibitions, ownership, archival references and biographies should not be presented as real-world history unless the House has evidence for them. A narrative setting may use a historical year, but the page should distinguish the setting from the actual date on which the House created the project.
Synthetic and AI-assisted material
AI may be used as production infrastructure, but it must not manufacture false provenance. Internally, synthetic or heavily AI-assisted assets should retain an origin record that identifies the project, date, responsible House context and source material where applicable.
Images and captions
A caption should describe what the House actually knows. If an image is a study, reconstruction, source reference, fictional record or generated visual, its role should be understood internally and disclosed publicly when omission would materially mislead the viewer.
Corrections
If the House discovers that a published factual claim is wrong, the preferred response is correction, not quiet substitution. Material corrections to dated records should retain an internal change note so later versions can be explained.
One truth, many presentations
A canonical House entity may appear through several artistic or editorial lenses. The visual interpretation may change, but the factual record should not split into conflicting versions simply because the route or collaboration changes.
