The B experience begins with the social film, continues through its scene-by-scene argument, and ends with the original web interaction.
Determine when records refer to the same person, organization, product, policy, owner or relationship.
RN conceived the question, structured the evidence boundaries, designed the experience, implemented the prototype and documented its limits.
This independent prototype demonstrates an approach; it is not a deployed client system, professional advice or proof of real-world outcomes.
Watch the film first, then move through the scene-by-scene argument, then open the web interaction at the end. Each stage restates the same question at a different resolution, so the sequence matters more here than on the A side. You can leave at any stage and still have the whole argument.
The build overview sets out the question, the purpose, the role and the evidence status in one place, and the public record behind it states what changed, what another person can reuse and what supports the system. If you want to judge how far this build should be trusted, the record is the page to read, not this one.

DISTRIBUTABLE SOCIAL ARTIFACT
Watch the LinkedIn cut
This silent-first 4:5 film is designed for the LinkedIn feed. Its complete argument appears as on-screen text; captions, the visible transcript and the download preserve the same words.

BUILD 011 — Same Name Is Not Same Entity SCENE 1 BUILD 011. RECORDS LOOK THE SAME. Similarity is not identity. SCENE 2 STRUCTURE. WHAT KIND OF THING? Model entities before matching. SCENE 3 SUPPORT. IDENTIFIER. ATTRIBUTE. RELATIONSHIP. Every signal needs evidence. SCENE 4 CONFLICT. CONTRADICTIONS CAN SPLIT. Never average away authoritative mismatch. SCENE 5 REVIEW. RATIONALE + ROLLBACK. The score never merges records. SCENE 6 MINIMIZE. MATCH ONLY WHAT IS NECESSARY. Context determines identity. FINAL PROPOSITION Same name is not the same entity.

What the field refuses to claim
Similarity does not establish legal identity, ownership, authority, beneficial ownership, fraud, or entitlement. Context and attribute minimization remain explicit.
