- [4855607-022](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4855607-022) [mechanism/argued] -- The acyclic property of WDAGs is load bearing for governance rather than incidental: because loops and cycles are impossible, the progression of governance rules stays unambiguous and the framework cannot accumulate redundancies and contradictions.
  > Their acyclic nature means that they do not allow for loops or cycles, which ensures that the progression of governance rules remains unambiguous, eliminating potential redundancies and contradictions within the governance framework.
