fox: a graveyard that keeps every wrong answer forever grows unbounded
like cancer and is counter to constraint-optimization. Bake in the
bound:
- earn-to-enter (recurrence-gated) — a failure earns a tombstone only
when its canonical claim-family re-fails; one-offs dropped.
- fingerprints not transcripts (UTXO-set analogy) — store
canonical_claim_family|falsifier_root|failure_class, prune bulk text.
- decay/compact to steady-state — evicts like a surface, never a core.
- off the hot path — dedicated graveyard shard, bloom-filter burden
check only.
Gossip-group falsifier admission inherits the same discipline:
difficulty-adjusted stable-rate ingestion (BTC block-rate target) +
per-window budget (#000036), enforced in #000012/mesh. BTC lesson is
bounded self-regulating ingestion, not store-everything. If it cannot
be bounded to a steady state, the graveyard is not built.
