initialization-and-reconciliation-converge-equivalently
IN derived (depth 5)
Both initialization paths (stored-state bootstrap trusting persisted values, and deterministic reasoning computing from scratch) and reconciliation operations (dual import/sync modes with heterogeneous truth state handling) converge to equivalent correct belief states — the system reaches the same outcome regardless of how or when beliefs enter the network.
Summary
No matter how beliefs get into the system — whether loaded from a saved database, computed fresh from scratch, or imported from another agent — the end result is the same correct state. This means the system is robust against ordering and timing: you can restart it, merge in external data, or rebuild from nothing, and you will always converge to the same answers.
Justifications
SL — Path-independent initialization combined with complete reconciliation ensures convergent ingestion
Antecedents (all must be IN):
- initialization-is-path-independent — Whether beliefs enter through stored-state bootstrap (load trusts stored truth values, import builds nodes before recompute_all) or through the deterministic reasoning engine (uniform pure evaluation with guaranteed termination), the system reaches correct truth states — bootstrap trusts values that were originally computed by the same deterministic engine, and import re-derives them via recompute_all, establishing path independence of initialization.
- import-provides-complete-reconciliation — The import subsystem provides complete reconciliation coverage: heterogeneous truth states are handled correctly on initial load, dual modes support additive import and remote-wins sync for different operational needs, and the colon-based namespace convention with auto-wiring prevents ID collisions across agents.
