Tempus Edax Rerum
Epoch History
Immutable temporal record of the canonical corpus
Epoch Versioning Protocol
Each epoch represents an immutable point-in-time snapshot of the entire institutional corpus. When articles are added, modified, or removed, a new epoch is generated — preserving the complete cryptographic state of every prior version.

Immutability Declaration
Each epoch snapshot is sealed upon generation. The Merkle root of a sealed epoch serves as a cryptographic commitment to the exact state of every article in the corpus at that point in time. Any modification — no matter how minor — to any article within a sealed epoch would produce a different Merkle root, making tampering independently detectable.
Fitzherbert University commits to the principle of archival immutability: sealed epochs represent the permanent historical record of institutional scholarship. New content or corrections are expressed through subsequent epochs, preserving the full audit trail of the University Record.
