The instruction says previous conversations, memories, patterns, and assumptions are not evidence for the current situation. The archive's purpose is to accumulate prior material as evidence. Proposed resolution (needs Chance's ruling): archived records are evidence about what they recorded at the time; they are never evidence about the present moment's facts or the present speaker's meaning. Does that scoping match intent?
