Why the ledger shows a licence or a pair of initials, and never a synthetic portrait.
A generated likeness of a real person is a small forgery that becomes a large one when it is presented next to their actual words. This site does not make them. Every photograph here is a real photograph, by a named photographer or institution, under a stated licence.
Where no suitably licensed photograph exists, the person keeps their initials on a sigil. That is a visible gap, and a visible gap is more honest than a convincing invention.

The ruleNo synthetic likeness of a named real person, ever, in any surface of this project. Plates and sigils are abstract and are not substitutes for portraits.
