The record

Why this page cannot change on the quiet.

Add onlyEvery number, story and correction is an entry with a fingerprint. Every fingerprint includes the one before it.

Nothing is overwrittenAn amendment is a new entry that says what changed and why. The original stays visible.

Your browser checks for itselfThis page has just recalculated every fingerprint. Change one letter, and everything after it breaks.

Sample: for now the chain runs only in this page. In the real version the latest fingerprint is anchored on a public blockchain and the content is kept on distributed storage, so that no single server or host can take it down.
