# Correctionwelcome

Credit corrections that hold, including those that challenge favoured people or positions

Layer: Society · Category: Protocols

## Mechanism

A group records useful corrections and credits the person who made them, including when the correction challenges a favoured person, position or earlier decision. Whether a correction holds is assessed before the standing of its target is considered; a correction is [Feedback](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Feedback.md) about the work, not a move against its author.

## Invariants

- A correction that holds is credited to its maker.
- Whether a correction holds is decided before the standing of its target is considered.

## Failure modes

- Messenger penalty: the corrector loses standing for being right about a favoured position.
- Correction theatre: corrections are welcomed in words and ignored in decisions.
