Direct answer
Source Version, in this failure-mode analysis, is limited to the following inspected scope. Persistent scholarly-object identity and explicit relationships among versions. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Failure Mode analysis
Describe the failed invariant, observable signal, safe refusal, and correction or recovery path.
An absent signal is not proof of success unless the protocol defines and validates that interpretation.
Applied scope: Persistent scholarly-object identity and explicit relationships among versions.
Definition and operating context
The canonical concept owner is maha-research. This route may apply evidence; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
This property may publish research objects, machine-readable provenance, reproduction protocols. It must not publish sales copy or unsupported interpretation.
Evidence and exact locators
Versioning — Versioning: preprints, accepted manuscripts, versions of record, corrections, and retractions. Establishes: Persistent scholarly-object identity and explicit relationships among versions.
What the evidence does not establish
A version relationship does not prove that a source supports a claim or that two versions are substantively equivalent.
This route must not claim sales copy.
This route must not claim unsupported interpretation.

Source Version, in this failure-mode analysis, is limited to the following inspected scope. Persistent scholarly-object identity and explicit relationships among versions. The answer carries the source boundaries forward and does not infer authority from a neighboring topic.
Which inspected sources support this failure mode answer?
Versioning (living guidance inspected 2026-09-05), at Versioning: preprints, accepted manuscripts, versions of record, corrections, and retractions, supports persistent scholarly-object identity and explicit relationships among versions.
What does the evidence not establish?
A version relationship does not prove that a source supports a claim or that two versions are substantively equivalent. Property boundary: This route may apply evidence; it cannot redefine or inherit the authority of its canonical owner.
Which definition or canonical owner must be read first?
This page is the local maha-research definition for its topic. Related applications may depend on it but may not silently redefine it.
What source, policy, implementation, or release change would require revision?
Re-evaluate this page when a cited source, locator, governing instrument, local implementation, or canonical definition changes. Publication also requires a matching exact-revision review and active canonical release.
