Is there some way you could separate out the "sensitive" material into
a separate table so that you'd have:
- Table "public_stuff" with the replicable data;
- Table "private_stuff" with the data that shouldn't be replicated;
- View "all_stuff", which unifies the data when it needs to be
combined.
You might use a rule to decide which data goes where, or perhaps a
stored procedure "create_stuff(elements)".

Perhaps the purpose of categorical algebra is to show that that which is
trivial, is trivially trivial.
