Revision and Supersession

Minor edits and conceptual revisions are not the same.

Spelling corrections, formatting, and clarified wording may update an object without changing its intellectual claim. A material change to evidence, reasoning, model, or understanding should create a traceable revision or superseding object according to contract.

Supersession does not declare the earlier object worthless. It states that another object now occupies its former role. The relationship should explain why.

Good revision practice preserves continuity while preventing outdated material from masquerading as current.
