E.9:2 - Problem
Direct edits to the Core, or DRRs that preserve apparatus without a usable selected answer, trigger four systemic hazards:
- Lost decision grounds – future authors cannot recover why the answer was selected, which alternative or boundary mattered, or when to reopen it.
- Decision deferral – a polished record leaves the answer, affected loci, or first drafting action for each later author to invent again.
- Proxy-led fanout – an abstract rule passes a schema, checklist, or unrelated replay while making an actual predecessor/proposed host harder to understand or use.
- Conceptual and authority drift – incremental edits blur the framework’s foundations, or the temporary rationale record becomes a shadow Core law, process brief, or authorization source.
