I thought of something like binding the singleton fact to a defglobal, but I think that fails due to modify being a retraction- assertion, which I believe would break a prior binding.

Comments, suggestions, criticisms?

No, that's the solution right there. The same object gets re- asserted, so the binding doesn't get broken. Once a fact is asserted in Jess, it's always represented by the same Java object, and its numeric ID remains unchanged; both of these bits of info are useful when building up structures out of facts.
