Does the library get better as we use it, or just bigger?

An accumulating rule set degrades unless something merges near-duplicates and retires what no longer applies. Three rules that mostly agree are worse than one, because any of them may load and their disagreements at the edges are invisible until they matter.

Oxcyon consolidates on a cadence: repeated findings collapse into single authoritative rules, unsubstantiated candidates age out, and a single writer owns each area so improvements land in one place rather than spawning variants. Coverage grows while contradiction does not, which is what lets the corpus be loaded selectively and still be trusted.
