Repeated images are not repeated proof.
A read-only image duplicate detection readiness layer that defines how TheoB will eventually detect exact duplicates, near-duplicates, derivatives, same-scene visuals, brand variants, cacao visual clusters, and multimodal duplicate links without deleting evidence or faking independence.

IMAGE DUPLICATE DETECTION
Cluster the repeat. Preserve the trail.
Image Duplicate Detection Readiness prepares TheoB to separate repeated images from independent visual evidence. Exact copies, near-duplicates, derivatives, brand variants, cacao visual clusters, and same-scene images become structured clusters — not trash. The system stays honest: repetition is not proof, and deletion is not intelligence.

Image Duplicate Detection Readiness is active as a non-destructive readiness layer. TheoB can define image duplicate signals, cluster types, preservation rules, future cluster shape, and receipt shape, but it cannot process images, compare files, run OCR, run object matching, store duplicate clusters, delete images, link live capsules, route to agents, or mutate production yet.

perceptual-visual-similarityPrepare future detection of visually similar images across resize, crop, compression, watermark, or format changes.
Similar-looking images can still have different context or meaning.foundation-ready
metadata-and-provenance-matchCompare source, upload context, file metadata, retrieval path, publication hints, and transformation trail.
Metadata can be missing, stripped, edited, or misleading.foundation-ready
dominant-color-signature-matchUse future color signatures as a weak supporting signal for image cluster similarity.
Color similarity alone is not duplicate proof.review-required
layout-composition-matchPrepare future comparison of visual layout, orientation, object placement, chart structure, or scene composition.
Composition can be similar by genre, template, or coincidence.review-required
object-and-symbol-overlapPrepare future overlap comparison for visible objects, symbols, logos, signs, packaging, and scene elements.
Object overlap is supporting evidence, not identity certainty.review-required
text-label-overlapPrepare future comparison of visible labels, captions, annotations, legends, and chart text where safely available.
Do not rely on brittle OCR as the sole match signal.review-required
derived-image-familyDetect future edited, annotated, color-shifted, cropped, translated, or watermarked descendants of an image.

Duplicates Are Clusters, Not TrashImage duplicates should be clustered with provenance instead of deleted automatically.

Independence Must Stay VisibleDuplicate clusters must distinguish repeated copies from independent corroborating visuals.

No Automatic Image DeletionThis readiness layer never deletes images, image records, source records, or capsule candidates.
