4-Slide Mini Deck · When Correction Cannot Catch the System
Temporal adequacy, in four slides
Micheal Charles Preble · SSRN 7514120 · Conceptual governance analysis
Slide 1 of 4
The Problem
Recognizing a correction at its source (validity) does not establish that it remains effective once personal state has been copied, summarized, exported, or already used to initiate a consequential action.
Slide 2 of 4
The Contribution
Separates correction validity from correction effectiveness, and develops temporal adequacy: an accepted correction must reach identified materially consequential reliance paths within a risk-proportionate interval, through invalidation, revalidation, retirement, or remedy.

How It Works · Evidence Status
Grounded in a bounded FCRA legal analogue — real cases (Saunders, Gorman, Seamans) show correction can reach beyond the source record; Frazier and Sprague mark the limit.
Evidence status: Conceptual governance analysis; no empirical result. Related experimental program in design.

Why It Matters · Limits · Open Questions
A system does not preserve meaningful corrective authority merely because it lets a person change the source — only when the change can still govern what depends on it.
Limits: no universal synchronization required; does not depend on Operant Dyad's Relationship State claims. Open: the empirical test of corrective latency remains in design.
