Public version — November 9, 2026
This notice records the public protection position for the Ananke project. It does not disclose Ananke’s confidential implementation, replace a signed agreement, or grant any right to use project material.
What is distinctive about Ananke
Ananke is being developed around a take-centered filmmaking principle: the chosen recorded human performance is the authoritative creative source, rather than raw material to be replaced by a plausible generated substitute. The project is designed to make the surrounding cinematic realization changeable while treating the selected acting, timing, contact, expression and vocal delivery as constraints to preserve.
Ananke’s proprietary material lies in the original project-specific work created to pursue that goal: its software and model adaptations; the integration of licensed upstream components into Ananke-specific components and workflows; its performance-continuity, correction and evaluation procedures; its documentation and accumulated confidential know-how; and its provenance, authorization and release controls linking source material, human contributions, component lineage, versions, decisions and outputs.
This is a description of the project’s distinctive proprietary layer, not a claim that Ananke owns filmed performance, visual effects, generative video, public techniques, general ideas or third-party models. Ananke remains in development, and this notice does not claim that every intended capability has been completed, generalized or accepted for production.
1. Protected project material
Ananke’s original technology and qualifying original project materials are proprietary. Protected material includes software, model adaptations, trained components, documentation, specifications, designs, project identity, development records, evaluation material, media created for the project, and other original work produced for Ananke.
All rights in that material are reserved to the documented rights holder. Third-party material is excluded from this reservation and remains subject to the rights of its respective owner or licensor.
2. No license by access or publication
Viewing this site, receiving project information, attending a presentation, discussing a collaboration, supplying services, or obtaining access to a development example does not grant a license, assignment, ownership interest, or permission to use Ananke material.
No permission is granted by this site to copy, distribute, publish, modify, adapt, train on, fine-tune from, extract, reverse engineer, create derivative systems from, publicly benchmark, sublicense, sell, or commercially exploit protected Ananke material. Any permitted use requires prior written authorization that identifies the material, recipient, purpose, duration, territory where relevant, and permitted acts.
3. Confidential material
The following categories remain confidential unless expressly released in writing: source code; model weights, adapters and checkpoints; training or fine-tuning material; prompts, conditioning recipes and calibration settings; technical architecture; correction and evaluation methods; unpublished specifications and diagrams; provenance and dependency records; internal tests and failure analysis; unpublished footage and results; security, access and recovery information; commercial terms; and patent or other legal work.
Access to confidential material is limited to the minimum needed for an authorized purpose. Accidental, mistaken or unauthorized access is not intended as publication, permission, abandonment, dedication to the public, or waiver of any protection.
4. Access and disclosure controls
Substantive technical access is provided only to identified recipients for an approved purpose. Where appropriate, access requires a written confidentiality agreement before disclosure. The project may limit the material supplied, the systems available, the duration of access, copying, onward disclosure, retention and publicity.
Recipients must not share protected material with another person or service unless the governing written authorization permits it. At the end of the authorized purpose, access may be withdrawn and protected copies may be required to be returned or destroyed, subject to any record-retention requirement in the governing agreement.
Only an authorized Ananke rights holder or representative may approve a technical publication, repository release, source disclosure, model or weight distribution, public demonstration, licensing commitment, assignment, or statement about filing status.
5. Third-party components
The development plan is to ingest, adapt and integrate third-party models and software into Ananke-specific components. Each upstream component remains governed by its own license and ownership. Adaptation or integration does not transfer upstream ownership to Ananke, and this notice does not claim exclusive rights in public techniques, general ideas, or third-party material.
Before a component is used for a particular release or transaction, its source, version, applicable license, notices, modification terms, distribution terms and relevant commercial restrictions must be recorded. Ananke grants no sublicense to third-party material beyond rights it is authorized to pass on.
6. Performances, footage and other production assets
Footage, performances, likenesses, voices, music, artwork, locations and other production assets remain subject to their own rights and permissions. Permission for development, private evaluation, model-related use, public demonstration and commercial delivery are treated as separate uses where the circumstances require it.
No material on this site grants permission to train on, alter, reproduce or commercially use a person’s performance, voice or likeness. Public use of a result requires both project authorization and the necessary source, performer and asset permissions.
7. Collaborators, clients and investors
Before protected technology or substantive project material is supplied, the written agreement for the engagement must identify the parties, authorized purpose, confidentiality duties, access limits, deliverables, payment, ownership of pre-existing material, treatment of new contributions, assignments or licenses, permitted publicity, acceptance terms, and end-of-engagement handling.
A production commission, service engagement, collaboration, payment or investment does not by itself transfer Ananke’s underlying technology. Client deliverables and licensed uses must be separated in writing from retained Ananke technology and from third-party material governed by separate terms.
Informal conversations, pitches, estimates, demonstrations and access to development work do not modify these reserved rights.
8. Demonstrations and public statements
Ananke remains in development. This site currently publishes no demonstration footage. Development images, short sequences, diagnostics and still comparisons are not automatically approved demonstrations and do not establish a generally available or production-ready capability.
Material may be presented publicly only after authorization, rights review and review of the complete result for the stated purpose. A still comparison may show a visible transformation; it does not by itself establish motion continuity, acting preservation, audio preservation, repeatability or transfer to new material.
Public descriptions must identify experimental material accurately and must not expose confidential methods, private evidence, source bindings, internal identifiers, security information or unreleased legal work. No development example is a warranty, offer of unrestricted service, or license to the underlying technology.
9. Inventions and confidential know-how
Technical implementations, correction practices, trained-component details and useful failure knowledge are retained as confidential know-how unless a different written decision is made. Patent and other registration decisions are handled privately against the actual contribution, evidence, disclosure history and intended business use.
Nothing on this page is intended as a technical disclosure, defensive publication, patent filing, representation of patent-pending status, admission about protectability, or abandonment of confidential rights.
10. Records and continuity
Ananke maintains controlled records of material versions, original sources, human contributions, component lineage, licenses and notices, authorized disclosures, development results, failed attempts, decisions, receipts and recovery checks. Originals and superseded records are preserved where they are needed to establish provenance and chronology.
Protection records are access-controlled, versioned and backed up through encrypted recovery copies. Publication records identify exactly what was released and what remained private. A backup or internal review is evidence of preservation; it is not, by itself, a license, assignment, filing, clearance or executed agreement.
11. Written authorization controls
Any exception to this notice must be stated in a written authorization or agreement signed or issued by an authorized rights holder. The authorization controls only the material, recipient, purpose and uses it expressly covers. Silence, delay, partial disclosure or failure to object to one use does not create permission for another use.
This public notice reserves Ananke’s position while keeping the implementation and private evidence confidential. Enforceable obligations also arise from applicable law and the written agreements governing a particular relationship.
