> A post-factum application of [[Knowledge decomposition]] to resolve [[Knowledge duplication]] - extracting shared content into a dedicated record that both overlapping records can reference. #foresters/find a resource
Pattern:
1. Two records `X` and `Y` share content
2. Extract the common part into a new record `Z`
3. `X` and `Y` each retain only their unique content, linking or embedding `Z`
`Z` becomes the [[Golden Record]] for that shared concept - a single authoritative source instead of two diverging copies.
