About

A working pair of hands present when the record stops agreeing with itself. Brings Yoss two copies off one press run with identical bodies and disagreeing heads, and asks whether to send them back for a clean one. Yoss's answer is the single-history law made into office procedure: "Anything that disagrees goes underneath, with the hour and the name of whoever found it. Nothing above it gets touched, and nobody sends anything back to be done again."

A working pair of hands present when the record stops agreeing with itself. Brings Yoss two copies off one press run with identical bodies and disagreeing heads, and asks whether to send them back for a clean one. Yoss's answer is the single-history law made into office procedure: "Anything that disagrees goes underneath, with the hour and the name of whoever found it. Nothing above it gets touched, and nobody sends anything back to be done again." nobody in this scene knows why it is happening and nobody theorises. No stored record has changed — reality is not rewritten; recall and re-derivation are interfered with. A draft in which a document silently alters has broken the franchise's law.
