Knowledge that exists only in tacit form degrades without
Knowledge that exists only in tacit form degrades without detection and cannot be systematically improved.
Why This Is an Axiom
This draws on Nonaka and Takeuchi's research about tacit vs explicit knowledge. It's an empirical claim about how knowledge behaves when not externalized. The primitive states this more directly: agents that live only in your head 'will silently degrade without you noticing.' This is bedrock—not derivable from other claims.
