PERSONAL CANON PROGRESSION

PC-01
INTERPRETATION
same text, different minds

PC-02
RESEARCH
same paper, different experiments

PC-03
BUILDING
same project, different local histories

PC-04
SELF
same person, different temporal selves

MASTER INVARIANT

The shared object stays stable while individual epistemic histories accumulate around it.

For a book:

interpretations change.

For a paper:

beliefs about claim scope change.

For a project:

architectural understanding changes.

For a decision:

values, expectations, and hindsight change.

Counterpedia keeps the shared substrate inspectable.

Amnesiac keeps each path through it replayable.
