Achieving Zero Information-Loss in a Classical Database Environment

Summary: Records object histories as transaction histories, preserving a classical snapshot interface while making every update/query effect reconstructible indefinitely—zero information loss. A system-user algebra exposes transaction context and recursively queries query executions, enabling auditing and secure systems. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
