Institutional design
The methodology governing how claims are made should itself be recorded as claims under the same gate, not written as a guidelines document.

“Method is the layer most likely to be diverged from silently, because it governs behaviour rather than describing the world. Putting it under the gate is the only version where divergence is visible.”

No passage is attached. Claims of this type do not require one.
Connected claims4
- A well-formed claim in this knowledge base is the smallest sentence that can be wrong on its own, carrying the passage that made someone believe it and the edge to whatever it changes.
- A worldview in this knowledge base is the connected subgraph reachable from one agent's stances, not a document summarising a position.
- Methodology documents should serve as versioned navigation views of authoritative method claims rather than be excluded from the knowledge system.
- A knowledge commons should be designed so that its replication depends on each element carrying a traceable derivation and an attributed holder, rather than on the coherence or appeal of the narrative it forms.
