When an earlier interpretation changes
Why must later derived values be calculated again?
Evening · reflection and correction
Evening reflection corrects the decision attached to an earlier synthetic occurrence. A later occurrence stays unchanged, but it now begins from a different prior state.
This is a synthetic variation on the paper’s redacted public worked day. It teaches a branch of the model; it is not a private record, observed personal event or empirical finding.

Short answer
Because later events read the state produced by earlier eligible events.
01 · Moment
Observed time slice
A bounded event with context and provenance.
02 · Economic question
No economic route
No typed VC output is constituted here.
03 · Human question
+0.007 WellbeingScore movement
Wbefore 700.021 → Wafter 700.028
Show the calculation
Four questions, in order.
- 01
Start with the prior state
The event reads Wbefore = 700.021.
- 02
Ask the economic question
No typed Vcom is constituted for this case.
- 03
Ask the human-state question
The reviewed input produces deltaW = 0.007, so Wafter = 700.028.
- 04
Keep the units honest
No economic VC output is produced. A wellbeing movement is not converted into money or credits.
What this means
Replay preserves the later decision input while recomputing its Wbefore, movement and Wafter from the corrected chronology.
What it does not mean
Replay does not rewrite later observations or convert a correction into new evidence.
Scenario structure
Follow the integrity rule.
- 01
The first active decision changes

Required case note
Impact justification
- Assumed synthetic evidence
- Two ordered synthetic occurrences follow a declared Genesis boundary. The first active decision is corrected from no_transition to positive medium; the second decision input is unchanged.
- Reviewed decision input
- Performance positive · medium, followed by Thought positive · low
- Calculation demonstrated
- The calculator applies the pinned HouseOfBros Founder Policy v0.1 transition matrix to the declared component state. It does not infer direction or intensity from the evidence narrative.
- Decision rationale
- Replay recomputes the later component delta, Wbefore and Wafter from the corrected chronological state without changing the later decision input.
- Alternative interpretations
- A policy migration would be a different operation from correction replay.
- Uncertainty
- This synthetic case has not been calibrated against observed longitudinal evidence or independent reviewer agreement.
- Evidence-to-intensity rubric
- unvalidated. Direction and intensity are reviewed inputs; the calculator does not infer them from prose.
- Validation research required
- Cross-implementation replay conformance tests and append-only correction audits.
Raw scenario structure
Chronological replay
Records are applied in effective-time order. The corrected first decision changes the prior state read by the unchanged second decision.
