deterministic-self-correction-spans-all-temporal-dimensions

OUT derived (depth 5)

Self-correction operates deterministically across both temporal dimensions — creation-time contradiction resolution and maintenance-time staleness detection — on architecturally sound foundations, meaning the system's corrective behavior is predictable at every timescale.

Summary

The system's ability to fix its own mistakes is supposed to be fully predictable at every timescale — both when it catches contradictions during reasoning and when it detects that source material has gone stale over time. This claim is currently unsupported because at least one of its foundations has been undermined: either the reasoning engine's determinism on real architecture, or the two-timescale self-correction capability, is no longer held to be established.

Justifications

SL — Depth-5 — determinism on sound architecture combined with full temporal coverage yields predictable self-correction: no timescale produces surprising corrective behavior

Antecedents (all must be IN):

  • deterministic-reasoning-operates-on-sound-architecture — The deterministic reversible reasoning engine operates on architecture with no hidden fragility — architectural stability ensures that determinism holds in deployed operation, not just in theoretical isolation.
  • self-correction-spans-creation-and-maintenance — The system self-corrects along both temporal axes: it detects and resolves active contradictions through lifecycle-safe backtracking at derivation time, and it detects and flags source material drift through conservative staleness checking over a belief's lifetime — ensuring beliefs are correct both when first derived and as their evidential basis evolves.
