- Geometric Chronology
- Where she finds a force-pushed branch or a generated-file commit, she marks that region of her timeline unreliable — precisely the substrate-disturbance move, the version-control analogue of a fault zone or a melt zone that locally scrambles the geometry.
This sourceDocuments force-pushed and rewritten history (and generated-file commits) as scrambling repository geometry — the version-control analogue of a stratigraphic disturbance zone that returns confidently wrong order if read naively.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
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.
