Statement
Legitimacy, once lost, can be repaired under stated circumstances.
Source
projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/related-chats/2026-07-05__theory-of-legitimacy__c1ab54d9.md, turn 17: "Can legitimacy be repaired? (Under what circumstances can/can't it?)"; the public theory's restart property (a segment starting after a tainted step can be legitimate), wiki/Legitimacy.md; the ratchet of projects/deference/note-dump-2026-08-11/notes/legitimacy-theory-v1.md, section 7.2.
Notes
The two existing answers disagree in kind: the public theory says a clean segment after a tainted step counts, the endpoint note says off-fragment drift is permanent. Which matches the concept of the li-deference notes is open; the comparison is the action.
