Research sets lanes and residency

Diffs are derived never stored
DERIVE A DIFF, THREE WAYS, AND WATCH THE ANSWER CHANGE. Version records are full objects; "what changed" is computed on demand and never written back. "A verdict is an answer, not a fact…

Getting data into your database
PUT YOUR WORLD IN YOUR OWN DATABASE - and notice what melder does NOT do to get it there. This wires a real mesh, seals a real checkpoint, and watches the bytes arrive. MELDER NEVER IMPORTS…
