A.13:6 - Conformance Checklist

Apply these normative checks to the corresponding agency, profile or Grade claim in an FPF publication:

IDRequirement (Normative Predicate)Purpose / Rationale
CC-A13.1 (Holder Type)The holder System of an obtaining agential U.SystemRoleAssignment MUST be a U.System.Prevents the “episteme-as-actor” category error. Enforces Strict Distinction (A.7).
CC-A13.2 (Assignment Mandate)A precise claim of agency MUST name the exact local agential system-role kind and an obtaining occurrence of a directly declared U.SystemRoleAssignment species. Any claim scope, working situation, and time window needed by the use remain separate.Binds agency to a specific holder and assignment without turning a generic context field into their identity.
CC-A13.3 (Characteristic Evidence)Any claim about a holder’s Agency Grade or autonomy profile MUST be substantiated by an auditable agency-characteristic profile with Evidence Graph Ref (A.10).Requires support for the Grade or profile claim.
CC-A13.4 (Grade is Didactic)The Agency Grade (0-4) SHALL NOT be used as a normative input for formal reasoning. It is a didactic summary of the agency-characteristic profile.An assurance case that consumes these characteristics uses their supported values, not the Grade.
CC-A13.5 (Collective as System)To claim agency for a collective (e.g., a team or swarm), it MUST first be admitted as a U.System under the complete A.1 criterion. Identify its defined boundary and coordination U.Method; those two features alone do not establish Systemhood.Distinguishes an admitted collective System from a mere set or collection (MemberOf); parthood claims use A.14.
CC-A13.6 (MHT for Emergent Agency)If a collection of Systems develops a new supervisory structure and crosses a documented agency-characteristic threshold, apply B.2’s whole-reidentification test. When B.2 establishes the transition, a Meta-Holon Transition (MHT) MUST be declared.Supervision and threshold crossing prompt the inquiry. If the same whole explains the changed facts, stop without MHT. A prior description as non-agential or at a lower didactic Grade may describe the starting case; it is not a normative premise.
