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 This claim is currently unsupported because one of its foundations (about deduplication or mutation safety) has been retracted, meaning the guarantee cannot be trusted across all modification paths right now.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:
