Knowledge Consolidation

Libraries grow by accretion unless something resists it. The same insight is captured three times in slightly different language by three people, and the library now contains three rules that mostly agree — which is worse than one, because a request may load any of them, and their disagreements at the edges are invisible. Consolidation merges them into one rule with one owner, preserving the content and removing the ambiguity. The discipline that makes it work is having a single writer for any given area, so improvements land in one place rather than spawning variants.

Oxcyon consolidates the corpus on a regular cadence rather than at the moment of capture, collapsing repeated claims into single authoritative rules and aging out candidates that were never substantiated. The result is a library that grows in coverage without growing in contradiction, which is what allows it to be loaded selectively and trusted.
