Added:

• Universal Change Principle in Module 09: All language varieties must show SOME innovations over 100+ years, even with writing systems or ritual preservation

• [PURE_CONSERVATISM_WARNING] validation tag: Flags unrealistic outputs where dialects show zero innovations

• Minimum innovation threshold: 1-2 detectable changes per 100-year cycle in ANY domain

• Innovation redistribution logic: Writing/artifacts make dialects conservative in SOME domains (orthography, phonology) but innovative in OTHERS (morphology, syntax)

Changed:

• Module 09 (Physical Artifact Influence Engine): Writing systems now REDISTRIBUTE change instead of eliminating it

• Stabilizing factors now reduce change rate by 10-30% max, not 80%+

• Dialects with artifacts must balance conservative + innovative domains

Fixed:

• Unrealistic pure conservatism: In Proto-Germanic test scenario, framework generated a dialect that stayed 100% conservative across all domains with writing/preservation (typologically implausible per expert feedback)

• Asymmetric change patterns: Added constraint ensuring all dialects show balanced innovation across linguistic domains
