Version record

The history of the statement, with what changed and why.

The part

What it is

A purpose that has been rewritten three times tells you something the current version cannot. The record is where that information lives.

It also protects against silent revision — a change that nobody approved but everybody gradually adopted.

The smallest level

The attributes it carries

Each attribute is one of the framework’s shared types. What a date is, and how it is written, is defined once for the whole model — the note here says what it means in this particular place.
