lovely post on (im)mutability in distributed networks by my bestie:

> When I publish a mutable link to some data, I give agency to the author of that data. They are free to change the contents in the future, or even to fully remove the data. Like a verbatim copy, an immutable link would not award this agency.
>
> By granting this agency, I voluntarily cede control. The quality of my work will vary based on the future actions of another human. A web of mutable references is a web of human interdepence, and builds on the voluntary giving of trust.
