How this is kept

Information is validated by the ExegesisConc. 2-4. A page that turns out to be wrong is corrected, not annotatedConc. 5. The history of what this site used to say is in its git log.

Conc. 2-4

Attested means bound. A binding names a committed file, and every binding is re-hashed against that file on each check. One that no longer matches is unbound until somebody reads the file again.

Conc. 5

A claim that turns out wrong is corrected in place. There is no struck, withdrawn or contested state to publish, and a page never carries a record of what it used to say.
