import-achieves-ordered-convergent-reconciliation
OUT derived (depth 4)
Import achieves correct final state through two reinforcing mechanisms: deliberate ordering discipline (add → propagate → retract) ensures deferred retractions don't corrupt intermediate states, while deterministic convergence (dual reconciliation modes reaching stable states, propagation terminating via fixpoint) ensures the result is unique and reproducible regardless of input ordering within each phase.
Summary
The import process reliably reaches the correct final state through two complementary guarantees: it processes changes in a careful order (adds before retractions) so intermediate steps don't get corrupted, and its reconciliation logic always converges to the same unique result no matter how the inputs arrive. Together these mean imports are both safe and reproducible. This belief is currently marked OUT, meaning one or both of its supporting claims about ordering discipline or deterministic convergence have been retracted or lost support.
Justifications
SL — Ordering (depth-1) prevents phase-interaction bugs; convergence (depth-3) prevents input-order sensitivity — together they make import deterministic at both the macro (phase) and micro (within-phase) levels.
Antecedents (all must be IN):
- import-ordering-ensures-correct-final-state — Import follows a deliberate ordering discipline — add nodes first, propagate truth values second, apply explicit retractions last — ensuring deferred retractions correctly override any truth values that propagation would compute, producing a final state that respects both structural dependencies and explicit intent.
- import-reconciliation-converges-deterministically — Import reconciliation achieves both completeness and convergence: dual import/sync modes handle heterogeneous truth states with namespace isolation and topological cycle tolerance (completeness), while all reconciliation operations — individual propagation, agent sync, and global recompute — converge to deterministic fixed points on repeated application (convergence), ensuring that import never introduces oscillation or nondeterminism.
Dependents
These beliefs depend on this one:
- system-reaches-equilibrium-from-all-modification-paths — The system converges to deterministic stable states through every modification path: import achieves ordered convergent reconciliation (add → propagate → retract sequencing with fixpoint convergence), retraction cascades terminate through BFS with stop-on-unchanged, and both addition and removal operations reach equilibrium — no modification can leave the system in a non-convergent state.
