PRESERVED ARTIFACT LIBRARY

Records and governed review layers

PRESERVATION RULE

A correction is a new artifact, not a silent replacement.

Preserved separately

Original source record, continuity review, record comparison, interpretation, correction, verification, and determination.

Never implied

Preservation does not prove accuracy, safety, truth, authority, continuity, admissibility, or acceptable outcome.

Required for replay

Stable identity, version, timestamp, digest, source, authority, and a visible relationship to every later artifact.

NEXT ADMISSIBLE STEP

Verify what has been preserved.

Preservation protects the artifact from silent substitution. Verification separately examines identity, integrity, authority, continuity, and standing.
