# Late-Bound Distribution
Late-bound distribution defers channel behavior until a source object is requested or emitted.
The canonical quotation remains stable while selection, timing, item identity, attribution, length policy, media treatment, probability, and other delivery rules are computed by the syndication request. This separates source publication time from later emission time and lets an archive operate as a renewable distribution reservoir.
