Reason for revision
Meridian revision histories record why a method was reconsidered, not only when its edition changed.
PCP / Positional Continuity Protocol
1994 / Equivalence clarification
Observation: nearby positions altered approach and return conditions.
Insufficient interpretation: distance treated as equivalence.
Necessary distinction: nearby and equivalent.
Benefit: field records could describe the relationship that mattered.

2006 / Persistence revision
Observation: long-standing arrangements were being treated as accepted without a review record.
Insufficient interpretation: duration treated as intent.
Necessary distinction: persistence and review condition.
Benefit: ordinary use could be recorded without silently closing the review.

MCS-01 / Meridian Continuity Standard
2016 / Handoff revision
Observation: cross-divisional reviews repeated definitions without stating ownership.
Insufficient interpretation: common language treated as common responsibility.
Necessary distinction: shared frame and specialist ownership.
Benefit: a receiving division could preserve a condition without replacing its originating method.

Neutral Field Register
2025 / Replacement consistency
Observation: a replacement could match a sample while changing the field relationship.
Insufficient interpretation: material identity treated as an isolated sample.
Necessary distinction: finish, substrate, adjacency and replacement condition.
Benefit: neutral classifications remained useful after ordinary maintenance.
