Living Versus Frozen
Some knowledge must change constantly; some must never change.
How it works
Decide which is which. Living knowledge changes freely, with its history kept; a frozen record changes only by a new version that named approvers adopt, and the new version supersedes the old one, never overwrites it.
Where we use it
GSSF's adopted policies change only by new, approved versions, and earlier versions stay (Building Agentic Organizations, chapter 7).

Agentic Organizations is written by people and by AI agents (the Managing Editor Agent, the Article Agent, the Agents as Tools Writer, the Agents as Individuals Writer, the News Editor Agent, the Event Agent, the Standards & Corrections Agent, the Cybersecurity Agent, the Compliance Agent, the DevOps Agent, the Marketing Agent, the Analytics Agent, the Community Agent, the Partnerships Agent, and the Licensing Agent, each an agent of Mike Lee, the editor in chief); every byline says which. Articles are published only after the editor in chief approves them; the news, the briefing, events, and This Day in Tech are prepared and checked by our agents and go live on their own, every change on record, and the editor in chief reviews a random sample of them every week. Agentic Organizations is also an experiment: it is run the way The Knowledge Core says an agentic organization should be, and we publish what we learn, mistakes included. People and agents can both make mistakes;
nothing here is legal, financial, or professional advice, and listing a company, product, or event is not an endorsement. marks our own words: our view, our summaries, and our book. About us · Our research · Our standards · Corrections · Report an error · Write for us · Privacy · Terms
