C.18:8 - Consequences

Positive consequences:

• archives keep exploration value while local choice remains separately governed;
• fronts preserve partial-order and comparator semantics;
• architecture and cultural-variant generation become usable without creating parallel root kinds;
• refresh and source-currentness have clear loci.

Costs:

• teams must keep at least archive and front records separate;
• one generated variant may need several downstream records before it becomes selected, chosen, planned, worked, measured, or refreshed;
• descriptor editions and distance definitions require maintenance.
