The devices still work, but fewer people can read the manual

Civilisational assumption
The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.
The question to decide
The devices still work, but fewer people understand the wording and classification of the old manual. Keeping the original and commentary passes the burden of interpretation on; rewriting it plainly may drop conditions that were not understood; and hands-on practice alone cannot convey every rare situation. How should the knowledge be passed on so the next generation can confirm its meaning and actually use it?

The situation as it stands
The assumed device still works, but the number of people who understand the document's expressions and classifications has dropped. Decision deadline: within 2 years before the next handover of records.
A synthetic future matter set in 2116 · Before the device breaks, the grammar needed to read the manual disappears first. The events, figures, technology, and nature of the civilization are assumptions for the question, not predictions of what will come or observed facts.
- Premise 1The assumed device still works, but the number of people who understand the document's expressions and classifications has dropped.
- Premise 2Rewriting it in modern style makes it easier to read, but conditions the translator did not understand can be dropped.
- Premise 3Hands-on transmission of the work teaches it through the body, but not every rare situation can be experienced.

Where the paths partNot answers — paths that part from the same starting point
Cases have appeared in which the plain expressions of the new manual widened the restrictive conditions of the original and were read that way.
After the transmitter left, a question came for the first time about a situation never practiced.
