ryzhakar Take a record's force as its power to bind action; never treat a record stripped of it as binding.
Take the corpus as every record under one scope — one project the system governs — across every tier, meaning every standing store a record sits in; never take a part of the corpus for the whole.
Take the archive as the standing store reached by search alone; never take another store for it.
Take the map as the index over the corpus; never take it for the corpus itself.
Take an audit as one pass that reads the corpus whole, compares it with the map, and repairs what the comparison finds; never take a partial pass for one.
Date the corpus from its scope's creation; never date it from the first audit.
Count every write since the last audit as a change to the corpus; never treat an earlier audit's result as current.
Write the map at the first audit and at each audit after; never write it outside one.
Hold the map and the corpus one to one: every record the map lists exists, and every record that exists the map lists; never leave either side unmatched.
Take the declared shape of records — the kinds a scope admits and the home of each kind, meaning the path where records of that kind belong — from schema-resolution; never take it from the map.
Leave the declared shape to schema-resolution; never edit it here.
Call each defect this reading finds in a record a fault; never call anything outside a record one.
Judge each record's authorship through authority-check; never judge it here.
Repair every fault in a record seated in the charter tier by correcting it in place; never supersede such a record.
Keep each record's lineage through every repair; never break one.
Write every repair through record-writing; never write one another way.
Write each quarantine and each retirement as a record naming the content it puts out of force and linking to it; never strip a record's force without writing one.
Leave the content of each record seated in any tier but charter as its author wrote it; never rewrite such a record.
Adopt an orphan — a record the map omits — under the home where it sits; never move it to another home.
Quarantine an orphan whose authorship authority-check refuses; never leave one in force.
Quarantine content carrying no recorded author; never leave it in force.
Leave quarantined content for the word of the owner — the human whose scope this is; never rule on it.
Repair a contradiction between two records in force at any tier but charter by superseding the earlier with the later where one recorded author wrote both; never by editing either.
Quarantine both records of a contradiction their recorded authorship and dates fail to order; never pick between them by their content.
Supersede a pointer — a record whose content is another record's home — seated in any tier but charter when its target moves to a new home; never supersede one whose target is gone.
Quarantine a pointer whose target is gone; never delete it.
Take a directive as a standing instruction; never take a one-time request for one.
Retire every directive resting on a goal — the owner's stated purpose — when that goal ends; never leave one in force.
Leave the ended goal's history where event-capture wrote it; never cut it.
Write the map as one file at the home schema-resolution gives it; never spread it across two.
Head the map with the date of this audit; never leave the head undated.
Give the map one row per record; never merge two records into one row.
Carry in each row the record's home path, its kind, its tier, its status — the force state record-writing set — its subjects, meaning what the record is about, and the date of its last write; never leave a cell empty.
Take every row from a record already written; never write a record to fill a row.
Take the archive's home from schema-resolution; never take it from anywhere else.
Move a record into the archive through record-writing, changing its home to the archive's and its map row with it; never leave a copy at the old home.
Leave every record the archive holds where it sits; never move one out.
Write one trace of this audit — the dated entry of what it found and repaired — through event-capture; never write it another way.
Close the audit when the map matches the corpus, every fault stands repaired, and every lineage runs unbroken; never close before all three hold.
