Based on the purchased sources, citation serves multiple interconnected purposes: it enables attribution and payment to creators whose work is reused in answers, it ensures answers are grounded in verifiable sources, and it creates an auditable record linking reasoning to the sources that support it. Specifically, source payments should be tiny, automatic, visible to the creator, and tied to the answer that reused the work. Additionally, answer agents draft answers grounded strictly in purchased content and self-critique to drop any claim a purchased source does not support. Every step of source buying and reasoning is recorded and hashed into the answer, so the reasoning and the payments are auditable together.
