- [5887242-005](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5887242-005) [definitional/argued] -- The UDLC does not merely aspire to dynamism, it constitutionally mandates it by requiring annual AI-assisted review and legal garbage collection, and it establishes the UDLC DAO as the exclusive institutional vehicle for that continuous evolution.
  > Crucially, the Codex does not merely aspire to dynamism. It constitutionally mandates it, requiring annual AI-assisted review, and legal garbage collection. It further establishes a UDLC DAO as the exclusive institutional vehicle for this continuous evolution.

- [5887242-011](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5887242-011) [mechanism/argued] -- The WDAG itself constitutes an evolutionary precedent system: each rule is an immutable vertex, new rules must cite existing vertices to create weighted directed edges reflecting citation frequency, recency and expert consensus strength, and rarely cited rules decay organically.
  > Each UDLC article or rule exists as an immutable vertex. New rules must cite existing vertices, creating weighted, directed edges that reflect citation frequency, recency, and expert consensus strength. Rarely cited rules experience organic weight decay

- [5887242-029](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5887242-029) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- The UDLC's annual AI-assisted review and legal garbage collection obligations are core constitutional safeguards, not housekeeping, because ossification has historically doomed every large-scale private codification effort.
  > These are not mere housekeeping notes. They constitute core constitutional safeguards against the ossification that has historically doomed every large-scale private codification effort.
