all-network-modifications-are-auditable-and-topology-preserving
OUT derived (depth 3)
All operations that modify network structure — standard mutations, deduplication, and belief import — simultaneously maintain the dependents index, preserve referential topology across both antecedent and outlist references, and produce timestamped audit records
Summary
Every way the network can be structurally changed — adding or removing nodes, merging duplicates, or importing beliefs — is supposed to keep internal cross-references intact, update tracking indexes in lockstep, and leave a timestamped record of what happened. This claim is currently unsupported because one of its foundations (about deduplication or mutation safety) has been retracted, meaning the guarantee cannot be trusted across all modification paths right now.
Justifications
SL — Deduplication's topology preservation and standard mutations' audit-and-index consistency generalize to all network modifications
Antecedents (all must be IN):
- dedup-is-topology-preserving-and-auditable — Deduplication preserves network topology (rewrites both antecedent and outlist references to survivors), selects structurally-optimal survivors (most dependents with lexicographic tiebreak), and supports human oversight (KEEP/RETRACT markers in a user-editable plan format).
- mutations-are-atomic-audited-and-index-consistent — Every network mutation achieves three simultaneous guarantees: transactional atomicity (context-managed load/save with write-flag gating), historical auditability (timestamped audit log entries), and structural consistency (dependents index updated synchronously) — forming a complete mutation-safety contract.
Dependents
These beliefs depend on this one:
- all-structural-changes-are-identified-auditable-and-topology-preserving — Every structural modification to the belief network is uniquely identifiable (deterministic collision-free IDs for dialectical artifacts and nogoods), historically auditable (timestamped audit log entries with index consistency), and topology-preserving (reference rewrites and dependents index maintenance across mutations and deduplication).
