PC-03 COMPUTATION

PUBLIC PROJECT RECORD
repo + commit + PR + test + code
        ↓
governed historical rationale

PRIVATE BUILDER HISTORIES
debugging + hypotheses + design beliefs
        ↓
bounded projections

FORUM / CODE REVIEW
        ↓
shared invariant
open representation questions
belief revisions

REPLAY
        ↓
what was warranted before/after the incident

THREE PC-03 IDENTITIES

PROJECT KNEW
  public merged evidence

BUILDER KNEW
  private epistemic state

CODE CURRENTLY DOES
  present implementation

These must never be silently collapsed.

PERSONAL CANON PROGRESSION

PC-01  INTERPRETATION
same text, different reading histories

PC-02  RESEARCH
same paper, different research histories

PC-03  BUILDING
same project, different work histories

PC-04  SELF
same person, different temporal selves

MASTER PC-03 INVARIANT

Future maintainers should inherit project knowledge without being assigned memories they never had.
