all-identifiers-are-durable-across-persistence-boundaries
OUT derived (depth 4)
All system-generated identifiers are not only deterministic and collision-free at creation time but also durable across persistence boundaries — nogood IDs survive save/load cycles via the network_meta table's high-water mark, ensuring the collision-free property is maintained across the system's entire operational lifetime rather than just within a single session
Summary
Every identifier the system generates — whether for beliefs, contradictions, or agent namespaces — remains valid and unique not just during a single session but also after saving and reloading the database. This means you can shut down and restart without worrying that old IDs will clash with new ones, because the counters pick up where they left off.
Justifications
SL — Creation-time collision-freedom (depth-3) guarantees unique IDs within a session, while persistence durability (depth-1) extends that guarantee across save/load boundaries — without durability, restarting the system could reuse IDs that were assigned in a previous session
Antecedents (all must be IN):
- nogood-ids-are-durable-and-collision-free — Nogood IDs form a durable collision-free sequence: the counter only increases (surviving deletions and clears), persists across save/load cycles via the network_meta table, and advances past imported IDs to prevent collisions — no operation can produce a reused or ambiguous contradiction identifier
- all-identification-is-deterministic-and-collision-free — All system-generated identifiers — dialectical artifact auto-IDs, unconditionally-recorded nogood records, and colon-based agent namespace prefixes — follow deterministic patterns that prevent collisions across all three identifier spaces: dialectical, contradiction, and multi-agent.
Dependents
These beliefs depend on this one:
- references-are-durable-across-persistence-and-evolution — All system-generated identifiers survive both persistence boundaries (save/load cycles, cross-session durability via high-water marks) and format evolution boundaries (parser versioning, schema migration, forward-compatible metadata) — references remain valid and resolvable across time and system versions.
