A.19.CN:13 - Minimal CN‑Spec template (copy/paste, informational)
Template note (refs-only). This template shows slot placement for governance. Token semantics for normalization belong to the A.19.UNM governing pattern (A.19.UNM); indicatorization semantics belong to the indicatorization governing pattern (e.g., A.19.UINDM); evidence/backing semantics belong to C.16; admissibility/evidence gates belong to G.0.

Implementation note (non‑normative): conceptual audit fields. (For implementation completeness only; not part of the CN‑Spec normative surface.) The goal is auditability: any implementation should be able to cite the relevant refs (CN‑Spec edition, evidence anchors, UNM instance refs, Bridge ids) when producing a StateAssertion. The normative semantics of normalization and evidence/backing are governed by the corresponding mechanism and evidence patterns (e.g., A.19.UNM and C.16). A.19.CN does not prescribe storage formats.
