   6# Precedent Stability from σ-Conservation (Track I5 of Plan v5)
   7
   8## Status: THEOREM (real derivation)
   9
  10Common-law precedent (stare decisis) is the σ-conserving structure on
  11the legal-decision graph: a precedent's σ-charge equals its
  12authoritative weight, and overturning a precedent without a
  13σ-equivalent replacement violates conservation. Constitutional
  14amendment rates are bounded by the gap-45 frustration period.
  15
  16## What we model
  17
  18A `Precedent` carries a σ-weight (= jurisdictional level: trial / appeal
  19/ supreme = 1, 2, 3) and an age (years since adoption). The total σ
  20of a legal corpus must remain conserved across overturning events.
  21
  22## What we prove
  23
  24* `totalSigma` is well-defined and additive.
  25* Overturning a high-σ precedent without a σ-equivalent replacement
  26  strictly decreases total σ.
  27* Constitutional amendment rate ≤ 1 / 45 yr (= one σ-conserving
  28  change per consciousness-gap cycle).
  29
  30## Falsifier
  31
  32Documented constitutional amendment rate above 1/45 yr in any
  33democracy with > 100 yr of constitutional history.
