Reynar: three 2001–2005 machine-readable-knowledge projects died on schema design, population, and maintenance — and only maintenance has a credible 2026 fix

Shadbolt, Hall & Berners-Lee's 2006 Semantic Web retrospective names ontology development and maintenance cost as 'an often quoted concern'

Tung & Roussiere (2026) argue firms should deliberately codify tacit knowledge into private knowledge graphs as their next competitive moat

Ontology/knowledge-graph maintenance is a decaying three-part process — schema, population, upkeep — not a binary codified/non-codified switch

Codification erodes a moat only once the codified form is exposed to a rival — not on codification alone

2026's agentic-AI 'semantic layer' revives the 2001 Semantic Web — and bets an agent can finally do the ontology upkeep a human never could

A chain-of-thought trace is inherently codified, so it cannot form a tacit moat the way embodied know-how can

Reed & DeFillippi (1990): tacitness, complexity, and specificity generate causal ambiguity that raises barriers to competitive imitation

David Autor's 'Polanyi's paradox' names why tasks that demand tacit judgment resist automation while codifiable tasks do not

Codification is the shared hinge between automation and imitation: the same non-codifiability is an obstacle in CANONIC and a moat in EUV

Chain-of-thought is the anti-EUV: reasoning is inherently codified, so it distills cheaply and can't form a tacit moat — hiding the trace is manufactured secrecy

Polanyi's paradox is the shared root of the CANONIC ledger and the EUV moat: codification is what makes knowledge both automatable and copyable, so the tacit residue resists both
