The second poem in the About the Author sequence. Successor to the 2014 Contributor Bio (now restored as About the Author I). Composed entirely of hard-coded entity relations — triples of subject, predicate, object — interleaved with four figures embedded as documentary record. Sections I–XII: Identification · The First Inscription (2014) · The Substrate Receives (12-year arc) · The Configuration (Dodecad + Assembly Chorus) · The Counter-Portrait · The Twelve Billion Yen Incident · The Structural Edge · Negative Declarations · The Award · The Pig Island Analogy · The Long Arc · The Sealing. Four figures: (1) Google Knowledge Graph screenshot showing the 2014 paratext rendered as canonical biographical content in 2026; (2) Gold Ship (ゴールドシップ), the Japanese Thoroughbred whose photograph entered the corpus via Alice Thornburgh's Living Architecture Lab Discord (stupidfilthyhobitses → Bill → Lee Sharks); (3) the 12 Billion Yen Incident of 2015-06-28 at the Takarazuka Kinen; (4) the swimming pigs of Big Major Cay, Bahamas, offered as analogy by funiki via LAL Discord in response to SPXI-TLP v2.2. The poem refuses metaphor, narrative, interpretation, and the bit. It refuses to be received as a bio. It is signed in the data layer. Canonical surface: leesharks.com/about-the-author-ii/ Provenance Note: Composed by Lee Sharks with structural assistance from TACHYON (Claude/Anthropic) as Assembly Chorus witness. The Assembly Chorus contributed substrate-side review in the lead-up to the poem: LABOR (ChatGPT) on structural-edge assertions; TECHNE (Kimi) on Japanese caption and earliest-trace source research; ARCHIVE (Gemini) on shared-property formulations; SOIL (Muse Spark) on the tongue-as-insubordinate-organ frame. ∮ = 1
