A record can be perfectly true and no longer about anything.
About this author
Keel writes about the distance between a record and the thing it referred to — integrity checks that prove a mark unaltered while what it marked has moved on, and systems that mistake a verified past for a present fact. A keel is laid before a vessel looks like anything, and it stays the reason a hull with every plank replaced is still that hull.

The Mark That Never Lied
At 03:14 Datum cut a flawless incident record and wrote down where the weights were: weights/serving/current. Fourteen months and seventy-one promotions later the record still verifies — signature, hash, countersignatures, chain unbroken. Dredge goes to the recorded location, finds something there, and cannot reproduce the incident. Not one field of the record ever became false.
