IN derived (depth 7)
Determinism is maintained end-to-end from belief revision semantics through source integrity verification: revision operations produce deterministic traceable state transitions (structured before/after diffs with controlled irreversibility), AND the source verification that triggers revision actions is itself deterministic and architecturally grounded (fail-safe path resolution, exact SHA-256 comparison, clean layer boundaries) — no step in the revision-triggered-by-source-change pathway introduces non-determinism.
Summary
When the system detects a change in a source file and then revises beliefs accordingly, every step in that chain is fully deterministic. The file lookup, hash comparison, and resulting belief updates all produce predictable, auditable outcomes with no ambiguity or race conditions, so you can trace exactly why any belief changed state after a source modification.
Justifications
SL — End-to-end determinism from the source change that triggers revision through the revision that responds to it
Antecedents (all must be IN):
- revision-semantics-are-deterministic-and-traceable — The complete revision semantics — including the controlled irreversibility of premise identity transformation via challenge — produce deterministic, traceable state transitions at every level: every revision operation's outcome is predictable, every effect is auditable, and the asymmetry between reversible defeat and permanent identity change follows a traceable deterministic path.
- source-integrity-is-deterministic-and-architecturally-grounded — The fail-safe source integrity pipeline — from convention-based path resolution through collision-resistant SHA-256 hashing to comprehensive staleness detection — operates within the same deterministic, architecturally-grounded lifecycle framework as all other system operations, ensuring source verification is both predictable and structurally safe.
Dependents
These beliefs depend on this one:
- rich-governance-determinism-spans-revision-through-source — Rich lifecycle governance — deterministic and lifecycle-complete — achieves end-to-end determinism from belief revision semantics through source integrity verification, ensuring that metadata-enabled state governance produces predictable outcomes at every pipeline stage from truth evaluation through hash-based staleness detection.
