G.6:4.4 - Provenance ledger

A ProvenanceLedger is a citable replay index over PathCitationRecord entries. It is not a work-progress log, result registry, review-comment log, process-status log, or ontic source.

ProvenanceLedger:
  LedgerId
  EvidenceGraphRef
  PathCitationRecords
  RepresentedObjectIndex
  RepresentedDirectRelationIndex
  SourceOrderPolicy
  CurrentnessPolicy
  PrivacyOrDisclosureBoundary
  RefreshScopeRule

The ledger may cite work, participants, produced entities, domain results, result epistemes, outcomes, sources, transformations, representation correspondences, provenance, and later uses. A row establishes none of them. Use a ledger when several downstream consumers need the same path family; do not create one merely because a local A.10 account is easy to write.
