Say you have a record that lives at address 100, a second record tries to write to the same address, but is sent to record 133 with a pointer written at record 100.  Now this process continues and we now have a synonym chain.

If you have a program that deletes records by record address (bad choice in my opinion), do the records move up in the chain?  (i.e. the record at location 133 is deleted, what happens to the records further down in the chain, do the move up 1 slot? (bad choice of words I know)

Or

say you delete record 100, does record 133 move to slot 100?


It's been awhile since I've written code and my memory isn't that clear on the subject anymore.
