6. Disagreement, Critique, and Revision

Disagreement is treated as a productive condition of knowledge development.

The Codex encourages:

• critical commentary,
• reasoned dissent, and
• alternative interpretations,

provided they are offered in good faith and with attention to context.

Revision is expected, documented, and normalized. Historical versions are preserved where appropriate, allowing the evolution of ideas, standards, and practices to remain visible over time.
