The chronological-order effect

LockPrinciple


Signal

A growing corpus can resurrect reversed ideas if nothing marks when they were true.

Wrong turn

Treat every memory or transcript hit as current direction.

Correction

Every artifact is point-in-time. Check SUPERSEDED + spine + DIRECTION before acting. Never delete history — supersede it.

The bigger the learning moat, the sharper the hazard: grepping the past can revive a killed path.

Temporal legibility is part of product quality for AI-run factories. Spine is the NOW clock. SUPERSEDED is the do-not-revive list. Continuous Mode inherits this lock — velocity only counts on the current route.
