(isomorphism? Wtf)
Can you point me towards an explanation of your ideas that a 12 year old can understand? Try to keep it short. Point to real examples. I feel like an idiot when I read this. I fear that many important concepts will be disregarded due to way( insert arcane intellectual verbiage) you communicate. Ok, I believe you are one of the smartest guys in the room; as evidenced by my inability to grasp most of the above, but if you can’t reach people does it really matter?
Accept my apologies I know you are doing your best. I want to be part of the conversation without having to learn a new language

Are “restorations” simply small forgeries, contextually integrated, and done without (excessively) mercenary intent and/or malice? Such a back-of-the-envelope definition, however appealing, tends to trouble any tidy sense of the difference between recovery and invention, between history and fiction, and finally, perhaps, between truth and falsehood. Putting aside the important problem of how these matters were parsed by actors and thinkers across the historical periods in question (and ideas about the “original,” the “copy,” and the “fake” certainly changed a great deal between the Renaissance and the early twentieth century), one is left with what feels like, for better or worse, a philosophical problem. Maybe several.”

The original represents shortage and the fakes and forged represent abundance. If you can’t explain it on the back envelop, it’s too complex. More points of complexity create more points of failure.
