I have first, second, and third editions. I have the third edition

The book covers the technical process. Unfortunately, it does not
cover the bureaucratic
processes. The processes not covered by the book is the one that I
am revealing to you.
For example, technically aarnet.edu.au can propagate up to the ROOT
Servers.
Technically aarnet.edu.au doesn't need to propagate anything "up" to
the ROOT servers. That is not the way DNS works, rather the client
contacts the ROOT servers and then goes down from there (ignoring any
caching).
So really, aarnet.edu.au doesn't need to propagate anything at all.
Do you mean once aarnet.edu.au enters www.example.aarnet.edu.au IN
A 203.7.132.1
it will be propagated ? This is wrong. aarnet.edu.au is only a branch
in the DNS trees.
What does aarnet.edu.au has to do to propagate ? If you can answer
this last question
correctly then we can proceed with the discussion.
How does a query propagate? Well, to paraphrase Section 2.6.2 of that
book that's right in front of you(*):
The KEYWORD here is authority as I explained in one previous post.
