Primes¶
- Refactoring
- The codification project consolidates a sprawl of amendments into a clean restatement: the mutable internals are section numbering, definitions, and cross-references; the external contract is legal effect — what remains lawful or unlawful must not change — and the prime's deepest transfer is exact here, that the verification mechanism is a corpus of decided cases pinning what the law currently does, built first and re-run against the codified text, the legal analogue of a test suite.
This sourceExamines how to restate/codify a body of law while preserving its legal effect, including the role of decided cases as the benchmark against which a restatement's fidelity is checked — the legal analogue of building a case 'test suite' before codifying.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
