A re-read of an old source and a genuine revert can produce the same observed sequence of values while requiring opposite current answers. We study this ambiguity on 130 extractor-selected atomic transitions derived from software fixes. In the ordinary transition condition, identity-based temporal memory reaches 98.5% model-judge
