· plain
The scale of how much an artifact may change over its life — living (revised freely), frozen (changed only by override), or sealed (never again).
· definition
The axis naming how an artifact changes over its life living — revised in place (README, overview, by dated revision, the Basis of Design) frozen — not edited in place, changed only by a superseding addendum (system ); thaw-able through the addendum mechanism, still governs the build
· usage
sealed — final, never changes (closed hos, sidequests, addenda, findings, devlogs/, executed ATs, propagation-ledger commits); a future document may respond but nothing it in force Forward-only governs frozen and sealed; living is the declared exception.
