Epistemic kind: reconstruction

## Question

How can rules for policy revision themselves be revised without either freezing a final authority or allowing uncontrolled change?

## Formulation

The proposal extends revision upward: a system may need new meta-policies as unfamiliar coordination problems appear. The connection to recursive or fractal forms is explicit, but no completed formal calculus is supplied.

## Tension

An ultimate stopping rule may recreate lock-in; an unlimited regress may make legitimate change unassessable.

## Challenge

Can a local, provisional stopping rule remain contestable without making every action depend on an infinite review?
