A change to the amendment rule, the recovery path, or the zones of trust is a\n CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. It is NOT \"continuity\" unless: (a) it survives the\n same adversarial diff as any other claim (git notary), AND (b) a human\n ratifies it when the record and the reconstruction disagree (Ben is ground\n truth).\n3. record_integrity_proved and successor_authority_proved are SEPARATE receipts.\n Git proves the first. The second is proved only when the succession change\n survives the amendment gate. A beautiful reconstruction that changes the\n amendment rule without ratification is record_integrity_pass +\n successor_authority_fail \u2014 it publishes as a fork, not continuity.\n" }
