Update existing graph concepts with new knowledge. Backward pass from JP's 6R REWEAVE phase.
The backward pass: after new concepts are added and connected, revisit existing concepts to see if they should be updated.
/ratchet-reweave [concept_id] # fully reconsider specific concept
/ratchet-reweave --sparse # process concepts with <2 edges
/ratchet-reweave --since Nd # reweave concepts not updated in N days
"If I wrote this concept today, with everything I now know, what would be different?"
| Action | When |
|---|---|
| Add connections | Newer concepts exist that should link here |
| Sharpen description | Description too vague (fails the Disagreement Test) |
| Split concept | Multiple claims bundled into one node |
| Challenge claim | New evidence contradicts existing description |
| Promote trust zone | Concept has enough evidence to move from INTAKE→REFINED→KERNEL |
Could someone disagree with this specific claim?
| Vague | Sharp |
|---|---|
| "X is important" | "X matters because Y, which enables Z" |
| "consider doing X" | "X works when [condition] because [mechanism]" |
| "there are tradeoffs" | "[specific tradeoff]: gaining X costs Y" |
Does this concept make multiple claims that could stand alone? If yes → split into focused concepts, each with its own edges.
After REWEAVE → /ratchet-verify [reweaved concepts] to run quality gates.
