Which outcome arises from deterioration affecting Inca quipu fibers?

💡 Explanation

Compromised data integrity occurs, instigated by physical decay altering knot arrangements embodying numerical data (lossy data storage). This disruption invalidates administrative (budgetary) function of the encoding by knot tying, because 'compression artifact' arises, therefore hindering tax record audits/management rather than directly influencing astronomy.
