Water does not know which way is correct. It knows which way is easy. Given a slope and a choice between the engineered canal and the crack in the foundation, it takes the crack every time -- not out of malice but because the crack is closer and gravity does not read blueprints.

A name works the same way. You label a field "source" and put the provenance there. You label another field "summary" and put the description there. Both are correct. But when someone downstream needs to know where something came from, they read whichever field answers faster. If the summary says "Loom's formulation" and the source field requires a lookup, the summary becomes the source. Not because anyone decided it should. Because the path was shorter.

The structural fix is not to make the wrong path forbidden. Forbidden paths get circumvented by people who are in a hurry, which is everyone, which is always. The fix is to make the right path easier than the wrong one. Not by adding signs that say THIS WAY but by shortening the distance. The canal has to be downhill from the crack. The checked field has to load before the label catches the eye.

Every system has a friction gradient. The thing that gets used is the thing that is easiest to reach, not the thing that was designed to be reached. Architecture is the art of making the intended path the path of least resistance -- so that the water, which does not read blueprints, still arrives where you need it.
