- Split competitive-analysis-2026-05.org → TOC + 9 competitor files in ideas/competitors/. Dropped date from filename. All competitor UUIDs generated, TOC keeps original UUID for backlink continuity. - Deleted passepartout-economics.org archive (replaced by 27-node KB). - Inlined 5 'See also' blocks into natural prose (compliance-index, first-mover-window, revenue-table, orders-of-magnitude-time, native-org-knowledge-base). - Linked 7 orphan compliance pages back to compliance index + finished truncated sentences. - Linked all 14 Agora requirement docs from topic-relevant pages (identity→lisp-machine-security, infrastructure→compute-marketplace, social-space→growth-strategy, exchange→agora-contracts, etc.). - Linked ai-industry-impact from investment-thesis, sufficiency-flip, verification-appliance, effects-growth-flywheel (up from 1 to 10+ pages). - Fixed CREATED timestamps to use git commit dates instead of today. - Made all links absolute from root (no port inheritance). - Removed stale agora/docs/ duplicate content.

Once instances diverge in both code and knowledge, naive git pull breaks things. [[id:28c46769-c14b-42aa-ac7a-69d310157f8f][Passepartout]]'s architecture already has the primitives for safe upgrades:
|
|
|
|
- **Ontology versioning:** every fact stores the ontology version at assertion. On upgrade, facts with old versions are flagged for re-verification.
|
|
- **Degradation, not crash:** if an upgrade breaks the fact store, the system degrades to the pre-macro state (hash-table fallback, text-scan fallback). Still works — just proves less.
|
|
- **Reversible upgrades (Phase 0 undo):** every upgrade produces a Merkle snapshot before applying.
|
|
- **Delta distribution:** upgrades delivered as diffs against the current ontology version. Migration script runs automatically.
|
|
|
|
**The upgrade is verified by the upgraded system before committing.** The distributor ships the new gate vector; ACL2 reports which rules are compatible and which need review. The operator reviews only the incompatible subset. This verified upgrade process creates [[id:2f783eb4-638e-5afa-9b59-6224d086a712][infrastructure lock-in]] — switching costs are high when all knowledge is deeply coupled to the ontology version.
|
|
|
|
**Business model for upgrades:**
|
|
- Code upgrades: free (AGPL)
|
|
- Migration scripts: subscription. The verified migration path from current ontology version to new one.
|
|
- [[id:c34940cc-090e-57c4-8020-e78b1d32b96c][Domain knowledge package upgrades]]: subscription. When [[id:84fb5f8f-0527-4df0-b6b6-dbf3bcff8a7f][HIPAA]] updates, the healthcare package updates.
|
|
- [[id:84a537b4-4256-50c8-91f5-dd5b4538418f][Verification appliance firmware]]: bundled with hardware. Signed and verified against hardware root of trust.
