The record is written once and published through surfaces that cannot disagree,
because each derives from the same source rather than from a copy of it.

## Why they cannot drift

A surface is generated from the record at build time. Adding one never means
editing the knowledge, and a document changed in one place changes everywhere
the next time the record is published.

## The two audiences

A person reads pages. An agent reads bytes. Both are served from the same
governed markdown, which is what makes them answer alike.
