Key concepts

Replay-first: LawVM treats legal state as the result of explicit changes applied over time. The path to the result remains inspectable.

Timelines: Provision versions are organized into temporal timelines. Point-in-time materialization selects the governing version at a given date.

Findings: The system records what happened during replay and comparison: source pathology, normalization events, editorial artifacts, replay defects, unresolved uncertainty.

Truth surfaces: Different systems expose different representations of legal state — enacted-event truth, published artifact truth, revised/editorial truth, replayed truth. These are not the same thing.
