SELECTIVE
CONTINUATION

A history may remember everything without allowing everything to become reality. Proposals enter the documentary record first. Admission is a separate act. Rejection therefore does not erase the past; it only refuses that branch as the next operative state.

Operative state σ

Rule: verification, diagnosis, repair, admissibility and commitment are not synonyms.
record(x) ≠ admit(x) ≠ commit(x)
What survives in history can be larger than what survives as reality.

Append-only history H

GENESIS History initialized. Nothing has yet been admitted.

Current admissible horizon A

The horizon is not “the future.” It is the set of continuations still available after prior constraints. A bind narrows this set without pretending the discarded alternatives never existed.

Machine interpretation

History H is documentary memory.
State σ is what the system currently treats as real.
Admissibility A is what may still continue.
Commitment C is the explicit operation that changes the operative trajectory.

The point is not immutability for its own sake. The point is to preserve evidence while keeping continuation selective.
