Reproducible state reconstruction
Reproducible state reconstruction means rebuilding complete state from raw observations alone. If the database is lost, replay reconstructs the same state deterministically.
Before vs after
Before: restoring requires uncertain backups and manual reconciliation. After: replay up to timestamp T recreates state at T exactly, then replay to present restores current state.
# Verify timeline events are available neotoma timeline list # Recompute and verify snapshots neotoma entities list --type task --limit 20
This depends on replayable timeline, deterministic state evolution, and auditable change log.
