GLOSSA-MORTIS: Terms of Post-Mortem Lexical Probate
“We encrypt your unread DMs into extinct Caucasian phonemes so cloud providers cannot legally probate your biometric ghost.”
The digital afterlife is an unpaid tenancy dispute governed by Delaware corporate law and automated algorithmic salvage. GLOSSA-MORTIS liquidates intestate cloud assets—unindexed browsing telemetry, frozen seed phrases, cold-storage photos—into syntax from languages with zero surviving native speakers. By binding dead users to an un-parsable terms-of-service written in defunct morphological cases, their data becomes unindexable by LLMs and immune to probate recovery. Silicon Valley treats the soul as actionable inventory; we treat language death as a sovereign firewall.
WALL TEXT
GLOSSA-MORTIS interrogates the sovereign void of post-mortem digital tenancy. When a user dies intestate across enterprise cloud infrastructure, commercial telemetry is aggressively probated, indexed, and ingested by large language models. This suite of illuminated codices formulates an adversarial legal apparatus: binding decedent data to defunct syntactic cases and unrecorded phonemic roots from extinct language families. Rendered as medieval consanguinity trees, astrological decay rotulas, and chirographic indentures, the work posits linguistic extinction not as a tragedy, but as the only un-scrapable cryptographic sanctuary for the biometric soul.
Displayed as a continuous 14-meter vellum scroll mounted inside an inert, climate-controlled server chassis at the Dutch National Archive of Digital Probate.
Provenance: Commissioned by the estate of a decommissioned DAU optimization engineer; seized briefly by the European Copyright Tribunal before being classified as liturgical waste.

ENGINE SELF-CRITIQUE
The renderer masterfully executes the codicological horror of medieval digital bureaucracy, flawlessly merging authentic manuscript schemas—consanguinity trees, astronomical volvelles, and serrated chirographs—with the sterile violence of enterprise cloud storage. The Latinate-Gothic marginalia featuring devils seizing burning hard drives accurately channels the concept's weaponized liturgical legalese.
