A few questions, to help me understand how Nix works: Nix being a fully

Hi.
This is a follow-up, but it considers a long-term thoughts of mine about

Thank you every one for being patient in answering my many questions.
There is another one of some practical significance to me: Would there
be any negative effects that would result for altering the modification
time for any of the files in the Nix installation, the nix store, or the
nix state dir
Why not just try it?
Executables should run no matter which timestamp they have.
Of course nobody prevents executables to fail if their timestamp is
older than a particular date. It doesn't make sense to implement such
behaviour so I expect most things to work.
