## Definitions

### `net.anisota.lab.redaction`

**Type**: `record`

A redaction (erasure poetry) piece made in the Anisota Lab's Post Redaction Art studio, where the words of an existing post are blacked out one at a time and the words left standing become a found poem. The record keeps the surviving text, the indices of the words that were redacted (so the piece can be reopened over the same post), and an at-uri pointing back at the post the words were drawn from.

**Key**: `any`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `name` | `string` | No | Optional title for the piece |
| `text` | `string` | Yes | The found poem — the words left un-redacted, in reading order |
| `author` | `string` | No | The handle or DID of the source post's author, kept for display and so the backlink reads even if the source can't be re-fetched |
| `source` | `string` (at-uri) | Yes | at-uri of the post whose words were redacted — the piece backlinks to it |
| `original` | `string` | No | A snapshot of the source post's full text, so the piece can still be read if the source post is later deleted or edited |
| `redacted` | `array` | No | Zero-based indices of the word tokens that were blacked out, so the arrangement can be reopened over the same post text |
| `createdAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes | When the piece was saved |
| `wordCount` | `integer` | No | Total number of word tokens in the source post text, so the redacted indices stay meaningful |
