Every conclusion exists within time. What was understood, what is understood now, and what may change. Records are amended as better evidence emerges, and amendments are dated, attributed and retained.
§ 07.1
Procedure
Procedure
Revision is expected, not exceptional. A record that has never been revised has not yet been tested by time.
Superseded text is retained rather than deleted, so that a reader can see what changed and why.
The constitution itself is subject to the same treatment. Nothing is exempt from interrogation, including Plankton.
