What endures
Memory
Words and their context
Preserve the words—and the questions around them.
A record can outlive the reasons for making it. Sources and context keep a lasting sentence intelligible.
Permanence carries responsibility. Corrections belong beside earlier statements; a missing account deserves a visible gap.
Principle
Preserve what a record can and cannot tell.
Open question
Words endure. Control over their reading may not.
