WorldReversible

Designing for zero-cost undo

Definition

Mechanism

A safety constraint where the agent must design the system such that every action can be perfectly inverted, and its inverse located. This forces the use of immutable logs, versioning, and 'soft deletes' instead of destructive updates.

Preconditions

  1. Storage is sufficient for history

Postconditions

  1. Irreversible actions wrapped in 'Commit' gates

Invariants

  1. Lossless undo: State(T) can be fully restored from State(T+1).
  2. Every action has a discoverable inverse; an action whose undo cannot be located is not reversible.

Risks

Failure modes

  1. Storage explosion (keeping all history).
