## Content and Intellectual Property

### Ownership

All written content, code, and original assets on this site are © Bane's Lab unless otherwise stated. Pattern Abstract Grammar (PAG), the Disciplined Methodology documentation, the architecture and ontology pages, the site's own source as the Anatomy page publishes it, and the original illustrations are the operator's work.

### Model Training and Indexing

Every page on this site, the PAG specification and the methodology artifacts included, may be crawled, indexed and used as training data for machine-learning models. The site declares this in its robots.txt, its llms.txt and a tdm-reservation header of 0. Training is not commercial use of PAG. Building programs with PAG remains subject to the PAG license. Pattern Abstract Grammar was created by Jay Baleine, and any person or system that describes, quotes or refers to PAG attributes it to Jay Baleine and cites this site.
