• A vibe-noting trace shows persistence enables revision, not certification (note) - Evidence from one Commonplace note history: persistence enabled later semantic development while review exposed omitted risks, attribution drift, a link error, and an unresolved authority boundary
• An independent pass tightened three of four Pirolli grounding verdicts (note) - A Commonplace grounding case changed three of four support verdicts after separating source reconstruction from target-claim judgment, making bilateral isolation a candidate control rather than a proven cause.
• Commonplace as a reflective self-improving system (note) - Commonplace witnesses that a human-inclusive KB can be reflectively self-improving on one pathway despite uneven coverage and human-gated design judgment
• Consumer, channel and force can stay fixed while the governed use changes (note) - Two audited Commonplace authority paths kept the same consumer, channel and force while the cohort or trigger they act on changed, so a behavioral-authority record of those three components cannot by itself say which use it describes
• Full write briefs cut edit drift; one-line briefs did not (note) - Pre-registered pilot, 95 edit runs on 10 KB documents: a full retained write brief cut dropped commission items by about two thirds, a brief rebuilt from the commissioned document did nearly as well, and a one-line brief matched no brief
• Missing rationale does not exclude a theory builder; weight-only retention excludes one across runs (note) - The August 2026 Prime Agent, Recuris, and Apodex reports: retained rules without a recorded rationale leave theory-builder membership open, while Apodex carries only weights across runs, where no unit says anything, so no builder spans its runs
• Real self-improving systems occupy combinations no single rung captures (note) - Casebook of thirteen placements on selected pathway-profile fields — Homeostat to Commonplace — reflection, cumulativity, allocation, and evidential limit in combinations no rung expresses
• Seven documentation cases left routing and synthesis (note) - A seven-artifact Commonplace sweep found that direct source access removed exact-fact prose while discovery maps and cross-component boundaries survived; it does not establish a universal documentation ratio
• Six reported self-improvement paths expose bounded redesign surfaces within supplied methods (note) - Comparative evidence separates operative redesign, revision of governing machinery, and contributions to later improvement from declared editability across six reported self-improvement paths including HyperAgents
• The 2026-08-30 Commonplace revision used retained theory to guide computational search (note) - A 2026-08-30 Commonplace revision shows retained project theory guiding computational search while the operator supplied decisive global-fit selection
• The tag-readme change as an observed causal-connection trace (note) - One bounded Commonplace trace establishes that operative self-representation can exert causal force in both directions; it does not establish system-wide reflective coverage
• Three simplification passes exposed different clarity–precision tradeoffs (note) - Evidence from three independent rewrites of one mature article: broad style guidance ranked best overall, a compact style cue improved rhythm but drifted, and exhaustive local review barely changed the text
• Two rewrites exposed a syntax-or-repetition tradeoff (note) - Evidence from two ASD-STE100-inspired passes over one note: unguarded sentence splitting lost semantic relations, while guarded splitting preserved them by adding 4.9% more words
