Stage 02 · Store

Store. Keep the exact version you saw.

Everything found is captured into a durable, content-addressed corpus. Each record is held with its origin and a fingerprint, so the version you cited is still there when someone checks it months from now.

What Store means here

Captured whole, addressed by content, kept point-in-time.

Everything found is captured into a durable, content-addressed corpus. The fingerprint is computed from the bytes of the record, so two copies of the same thing collapse to one address and an edit produces a new one. The version you cited is held with its origin, so it is still there to point at long after the live page was rewritten.

What happens in Store

  • Capture the artifact as published, not a summary of it.
  • Fingerprint every record, so identical content is provable and duplicates collapse.
  • Keep prior versions beside the current one, with the date each was seen.
  • Hold the origin and the retrieval time on every record.

What a stored record holds

Each record carries its own proof of what and when.

A stored record is more than a copy. It is the artifact plus the metadata that makes it provable and durable.

  1. content

    The artifact as published, captured whole, not a summary that loses the detail that mattered.

  2. fingerprint

    A hash computed from the bytes, so identical content is provably identical and duplicates collapse.

  3. origin

    The source it came from and the time it was retrieved, kept on every record.

  4. history

    Prior versions held beside the current one, each with the date it was seen.

Why this stage earns its place

The address comes from the content itself.

  • PROVABLE

    Identical content, identical address.

    The fingerprint is computed from the bytes, so two copies of the same record collapse to one and a match is something you can prove, not assert.

  • DURABLE

    The version you cited stays put.

    Each record is held point-in-time with its origin, so the page you quoted is still there to point at long after the live one was rewritten.

  • HONEST

    A change shows as a change.

    Edit anything and the address moves; the prior version stays beside it. Nothing is overwritten in silence.

Why it matters

Government pages move and get rewritten. A point-in-time record is what makes a claim defensible long after the page behind it has changed.
