Durability Before Canon
A decision is not canon until it survives a second look.
Canon is expensive. Once declared, it propagates across direction sets, memory, files, and behavior. DreamerOS requires every candidate decision to cool before it is ratified. Draft, pressure-test, sleep on it, pressure-test again. If it still holds, it becomes canon. If it cracks, it becomes a lesson.
This principle prevents canon churn - the situation where rules change every week and nothing stabilizes. DreamerOS has a small number of very durable rules. That is by design.
Why this matters
Governance that changes faster than behavior can adapt is indistinguishable from no governance.
