FEDERATED WITNESS RECONCILIATION

Observe a proposition. Preserve its exact scope.

A witness records a bounded proposition. Reconciliation selects current branches only through exact correction, supersession, expiry, and revocation—not witness count.

Inspect scoped disagreement Developer contract

Three branch outcomes

same state · same scope

Reconciled

Current branches agree on the exact bounded proposition.

different scope

Coexisting

Both observations remain current and neither is mislabeled as contradiction.

different state · same scope

Unresolved conflict

Dissent remains visible until exact correction or stronger scoped evidence exists.

EVIDENCE BOUNDARY

Exact scope, owner, correction, expiry, and limitations remain authoritative.

A color, badge, HTTP status, screenshot, signature shape, witness count, or passing test cannot promote an operational proposition. Cancellation, refusal, conflict, timeout, expiry, revocation, and rollback are neutral technical states.

NO JUDGMENT WHATSOEVER. Participant-evaluation and standing effects remain NONE.
