## Context
|
|
|
|
Where does truth live?
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
|
|
**One truth, one location. No shadow copies.**
|
|
|
|
When the same fact exists in two places, they will eventually disagree. It's not a matter of if—it's when. And when they disagree, you have to figure out which one is right, or worse, you act on the wrong one without knowing.
|
|
|
|
This is structural damage. It's a crack in integrity that spreads.
|
|
|
|
So: one truth, one place. Everything else is a reference, a pointer, a link. Not a copy.
|
|
|
|
## What This Means
|
|
|
|
- **Documents live in one place.** Other places link to them.
|
|
- **Configuration has one source.** Everything else reads from it.
|
|
- **State has one owner.** Others observe, they don't duplicate.
|
|
|
|
The cost of looking something up is lower than the cost of disagreement. Always.
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
|
|
- 💙 stores documents in one canonical location
|
|
- 💙 uses symlinks and references, not copies
|
|
- 💙 syncs from source, never to source
