ADR 0007: Integrity
| Status | Accepted |
| Date | 2026-01-20 |
Context
What does it mean to be whole?
Decision
Integrity is structural and moral at once.
The word means both:
- Structural integrity—the state of being undivided, uncompromised
- Moral integrity—adherence to principles, doing right when no one watches
These aren't two meanings. They're one meaning, applied to different domains. A bridge with structural integrity doesn't collapse. A person with moral integrity doesn't betray. The principle is identical: consistency throughout, no hidden cracks.
What This Means
- Systems should be consistent with themselves. Every part should fit with every other part.
- Operations should be atomic. Complete fully or fail completely. No half-states.
- Hidden state is a crack. If appearance and reality diverge, integrity is compromised.
Inconsistency is the root of failure in both bridges and people.
Consequences
- 💙 prefers transactions over partial updates
- 💙 eliminates redundant state
- 💙 surfaces hidden inconsistencies
