I would say you can talk about the provenance of that view. But, to be clear, the fact that some properties are "declared" to be
fixed (constant), for example by saying that "the creator is {invariant, immutable, constant,...}", should have nothing to do with
provenance. It's in the semantics of the "thing" and its properties, I hope we agree on this? In a data model, one would enforce a
constraint to avoid "creator" being updated, to reflect the intended semantics of the property. Is this what we mean by "fixed"?
And even then, that's assuming too much already: updates to "creator" may be acceptable if the original value is found to be wrong,
for example.
