That story holds right up to the moment a second writer appears.</p> <p>The instant two clones of the same store can each promote facts independently and later reconcile, the audit chain stops being a single line. Clone A has a chain that verifies clean against itself. Clone B has a chain that verifies clean against itself. Merge them, and you have a question neither green checkmark answers: <strong>is the union governed?</strong></p>
