\begin{abstract}
Agent systems usually preserve histories to debug prior actions or retrieve
prior answers. This paper studies a stronger possibility: a well-formed causal
\episode{} corpus may preserve the option to discover that the ontology under
which earlier questions were asked was incomplete. We define an Episode as a
perspective-bound, provenance-carrying record of observations, choices,
actions, dependencies, consequences, interventions, omissions, and adjacent
fact cuts. We then specify a staged mechanism derived from Kung Fu Decisions
(KFD): KFD-4 replays causal histories from declared perspectives; KFD-5
separates candidate genesis from qualification; draft KFD-6 compares plural
generation methods against fixed-ontology and no-new-primitive baselines,
held-out evidence, and separated promotion authority. The resulting asset is
not an event pile, transcript, embedding index, or automatic proof. Its future
value depends on integrity, perspective, causal and responsibility boundaries,
portability, retention, privacy, consent, and independent verification. We
ground the design in one immutable July 2026 KFD evidence cut containing three
live cases and six candidate tracks: three accepted only within software-domain
profiles and three provisional. This is early feasibility evidence, not a
conforming KFD-6 experiment. We contribute an artifact taxonomy, an
evidence-governed discovery loop, a governance analysis of problem-definition
power, and a falsifiable prospective evaluation protocol. The central claim is
conditional: governed causal history can preserve future ontology-revision
capacity; storage volume, narrative coherence, or generator confidence cannot.
